She was born on Nov. 26, 1927 in Mannheim, Germany, a daughter of Herman and Marie Loeb. She attended school in Germany and moved to the U.S. after marrying Robert Fournier.
Mrs. Fournier worked as a homemaker to her husband and children until his death in the mid 1970s. She then went to work for G.H. Bass in Wilton.
She was a longtime communicant of St. Rose of Lima in Jay and enjoyed knitting and crocheting. Her family and friends will undoubtedly miss the fruits of her labor in the kitchen as she was a wonderful cook over the years.
