Elaine A. Beausoleil, 80, of Acushnet, MA passed away on Wednesday, March 15, 2023 in Charlton Memorial Hospital. Born in Fall River, she was the daughter of the late Wilfred and Juliette (Arruda) Beausoleil. Growing up with dogs and cats Elaine developed a deep love for animals at a very young age. Over the years her love grew into a life-long passion and dedication. Working as a bookkeeper for 38 years, she worked alongside her best friend, Dr. Christine Gaumont, and helped to establish the Acushnet Animal Hospital in 1984. When she wasn't sharing her time with her furry friends, she enjoyed spending time with close friends, playing golf, gardening and the warm sunshine. She was a devoted Catholic and was a communicant of St. Mary of the Bay Parish in Warren.

Elaine is survived by her stepbrother, James "Jimmy" Coombs of Newport, RI; best friend, Dr. Christine Gaumont of Acushnet, MA, as well as many loving friends.
