STERLING - Conrad E. Provencher, 90, passed away peacefully on Thursday, March 2, 2023, at Life Care of Leominster after an illness. He was born and raised in Gardner, the son of Arthur J. and Yvonne (Chicoine) Provencher and had lived in Sterling since 1958.
He leaves his loving wife of 64 years, Jacqueline (Taft) Provencher; his sons, Barry J. Provencher and his wife, Patricia of Wrentham, and William J.
