CHICOPEE – Theresa O. “Terry” (Blanchard) Bergeron, 81, of the Aldenville section of Chicopee, was Called Safely Home on Saturday, February 28, 2026. She passed into Eternal Life at Holyoke Medical Center surrounded by the care and comfort of her loving family. She was born in Holyoke on January 28, 1945, a beloved daughter of the late Edward J. and Cecile L. (Benoit) Blanchard. She was raised and educated in Holyoke and moved to South Hadley when she was 14 years old. She later lived in Chicopee Falls before moving to Aldenville, where she lived the last 25 years of her life. Terry enjoyed crafting and crocheting, and always loved to find a good tag sale. Her biggest joy in life was her trips to the casino with Punky and trying her luck with a good scratch ticket. Most of all, she loved spending time with her family and many friends. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Philip J. Bergeron, Sr. who was Called Home on February 15, 2014. They were married on June 8, 1963 at Saint Patrick Church in South Hadley and were blessed with over 50 years of happiness together. She leaves her four loving and devoted sons, Philip J. “Punky” Bergeron, Jr. of Eastham, Corey J. Bergeron of Chicopee, Whitey A. Bergeron and his wife, Anne, of Chicopee, and David P. “Bidou” Bergeron and his wife, Amy, of Granby; her six cherished grandsons, Nicholas Bergeron, Mark Chartier, Mason Bergeron, Myles Bergeron, Devin Bergeron, and Ethan Bergeron; her dear sister, Darlene A. Courchesne and her husband, Donald, of Holyoke; and her many dear nephews, nieces, cousins, friends, and extended family members. She will be sadly missed by her two beloved cats, Dakota and Callie. In addition to her parents and husband, she was predeceased by her dear son-in-law, Angelo Rivera; and her three dear brothers, Edward Blanchard, Norman Blanchard, and George Blanchard.
