FITCHBURG: J. Paul Marcoulier, 85, of Fitchburg, MA, died Sunday, April 19, 2020, at Beaumont Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, Worcester. Paul was born in Fitchburg on January 10, 1935, son of the late Leo and Laurette (Roy) Marcoulier. He was a lifelong resident of Fitchburg. Paul was a 1954 graduate of St. Bernard’s Central Catholic High School and a long-time member of St. Joseph’s Parish, where he attended weekly. An electrician at Eyles Electric in Fitchburg for over 40 years, Paul retired in 1998. Before that, he spent two years in the Army, stationed in Tobyhanna, PA. Over the years, Paul donated much of his time to various organizations, including the Exchange Club of Fitchburg and the Cub Scouts. He was the past Scoutmaster of Pack 17 hosted by St. Joseph’s Church. Taking his family camping throughout New England brought Paul joy. Upon retirement, he and Denise spent summers in Kennebunkport, Maine surrounded by the beauty of the ocean, which he loved. There are many happy Kennebunkport memories of spending time with their children, grandchildren, and friends. Paul was also a proud “honorary” member of the golf course near his home, where he enjoyed walking daily. A kind and gentle man to everyone, he will be dearly missed.
