Lewiston-Monita (Pratt) Ducharme of Winthrop, born in Lewiston, Maine, passed away at D'Youville Pavilion on June 26, 2026 at the age of 79.
She graduated from St. Dominic Academy and went on to spend many years working as a hair
stylist before finishing her career as a kitchen designer at Home Depot, where she worked for 17
years. She truly enjoyed talking with customers and staff and took pride in her work.
Monita was creative and had an eye for design, even designing two homes and a rental property
of her own.
She enjoyed time at the lake; boating, kayaking, and soaking up the sun. She found comfort and
companionship in her cats over the years and especially loved going out to eat with friends and
family.
She will be remembered for her strong personality and the moments shared with those closest to
her.
She faced Alzheimer's with the enduring love of her daughter and her husband, who cared for
her through the years, and the steady support of her sister and lifelong best friend, who remained
close by her side.
No services are planned.
