Wendy Ann Bolduc Wendy A. Bolduc, 53, daughter of Penny Bolduc and the late Jerome Scott Bolduc of Waterville, has passed away of aphasia. She was surrounded by friends and family, with a beautiful lakeside view at her mother's home in Oakland, Maine. Wendy was born on November 20, 1968. She graduated from Waterville High School class of 1987, and went on to earn a Masters Degree in Educational Administration at the University of Maine. At the age of 28 she became the Assistant Principal at Helen Thompson Elementary school in Gardiner. Wendy had a passion for children's education and along with that passion came a vision. After moving to Florida she turned her vision into a reality. She named it Hand in Hand Academy, a place for hands-on learning and education with love. Starting with only a few students in her living room, it grew into two full sized buildings which included a day care and a primary school each consisting of nearly 100 students. Her approach consisted of theme-based exploration, hands-on learning, and individualized milestones with a focus on critical thinking, leadership, communication, and creativity. She molded hundreds of young minds through a fun, and loving environment. Today, some of those kids have grown into talented artists, medical professionals and writers, each carrying with them a love for learning, a habit of asking questions and a well nurtured imagination. While she loved taking her tightly knit community of teachers, students and parents on field trips, she held another field close to her heart. She was a fierce goalie on the soccer field, attending the State Championships with her Waterville High School team. She also played in a New Tampa Adult recreation league. Yet another passion of Wendy's has always been spreading joy each holiday season. She would decorate and wrap each and every gift with an extravagance that Hallmark would envy. However her eyes would illuminate when she was with either one of her two granddaughters, her love for her family was palpable. Wendy Bolduc lived every moment to its fullest with care, thought and kindness. She is survived by her mother, Penny Bolduc, brother Jeffery Bolduc, wife Lisa Bolduc, niece Laura Bolduc, sons Joshua and Christopher Viles, and granddaughters Hunter and Pandora Viles. .
