Theresa Claire (Bousquin) Medeiros, a lifelong resident of Raynham, passed away surrounded by the love of her family on Monday, March 30, 2026. She was the cherished wife of the late Richard Medeiros.
Born in Taunton on August 12, 1942, she was the daughter of the late Edmund Bousquin and Annette (Lafleur) Bousquin.
Theresa was a proud graduate of Taunton High School and went on to dedicate over 30 years as a bus driver for the Town of Raynham. Known for her kindness, patience, and friendly smile, she became a familiar and comforting presence to the many children and families she served throughout the years.
A devoted parishioner of St. Ann Church in Raynham, Theresa’s faith was an important part of her life. She was also an active member of the Raynham Senior Center, where she enjoyed spending time with friends and participating in community activities.
Theresa had a true gift for knitting and was an incredibly talented and accomplished knitter. She lovingly created countless sweaters, blankets, and keepsakes for her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and family members, each piece made with great care and love. Her handmade creations will remain treasured reminders of her warmth and generosity.
She was the loving mother of Lorna Medeiros, Donna Francis and her husband Andrew, and Sheila Cardoso and her husband Jose Cardoso Jr. She was the dear sister of Edmund Bousquin Jr., Donald Bousquin, Roland Bousquin, and Susan McDermott. Theresa was the cherished grandmother of Alexander Francis, Benjamin Francis, Rebecca Francis, Christopher Francis, and Douglas Francis, and the proud great-grandmother of Deacon and Paisley.
She also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends. To those who knew her best, she was a special mother, loving Mémère, great- Mémère and beloved auntie to all, whose kindness, warmth, and generous spirit touched the lives of so many.
Her family and friends will remember her for the love she shared, the comfort she gave, and the beautiful memories she created throughout her life.
