Janet C. (Walsh) Fougère, 80 of Hanson peacefully entered into Eternal Rest on February 22, 2025, at her home surrounded by her family. She was born in Boston, daughter to the late James E. and Catherine (Dowd) Walsh.
Janet was a graduate of Blessed Sacrament High School in Jamaica Plain with the class of 1961. She was the class president and up until recently she organized an annual class reunion. She was blessed to have long lasting friendships with her wonderful classmates, a graduating class of only 37. She was an active participant in her local parish, St. Joseph the Worker, as a CCD teacher and Eucharistic minister. She was a founding member of The Tri-Town Lions Club and editor of “The Eye Catcher” a publication of Massachusetts Lions Eye Research Fund, Inc.
After moving to Hanson in 1971, she raised her family in their first and only new house turning it into a loving home to raise her growing family. She worked hand in hand with her husband Richard in building the family printing business, J&R Graphics. First at home in a spare room in the house, then in a new building on Main Street where for a while she ran her own successful division, Copy Plus.
Janet is survived by her loving, doting husband of 63 years Richard Fougère Sr. She was the loving mother of Renée Nason and her husband Daniel of Hanson, Christine Fougère of Whitman, Richard Fougère Jr. of Hanson, Kenneth Fougère and his wife Kristy of Hingham, Peter J. Fougère of Taunton. She was so proud of her title of “Nana” to her 10 grandchildren Alex, Monica, Kevin, Kenneth, Travis, Mitchell, Shane, Kayleigh, Sara and Natalie. Janet was also blessed to be “Gigi” to 3 great grandchildren Logan, Micah and Daniel.
Janet was predeceased by her lovely sisters Marjorie Vorrosso (2019) and Karen Heraty (2017).She had many loving nieces and nephews.

Janet was always a very friendly, loving and giving friend. I never saw her without a big smile on her face. We both moved to Hanson about the same time, and she never changed.....always one of the most friendly person I ever knew. My heart goes out to her husband Rich and all her family..she will be surely missed by everyone who knew her. My heart and prayers goes out to the family.
