Obituary

Thomas A. Chartier, age 76 of Bellingham, Washington passed away peacefully on December 27, 2023. Tom was born and raised in Bellingham, WA on August 4, 1947 to Rachalle and George A. Chartier. He attended schools in Bellingham and Skagit County. Tom went to work for Georgia Pacific September of 1966, a millwright by trade with the latter years as the vibration analyst until GP’s closure in 2007. After retirement, Tom spent his time woodworking, and was a proud member of two car clubs, Skagit Old Car Club and Whatcom County Cruiser. Tom also went on many adventures traveling with Judy. Some of his favorites were traveling to locations where he could scratch off his bucket list of places such as the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick, Jamaica, a family cruise to Alaska, and to the Maine coast, renting a car in Boston with friends, and visiting as many lighthouses as possible along the way.

Tom is survived by his wife Judy G. Chartier, son Marc Chartier (Sara) of Philadelphia, daughter Renee Chartier (Brian Wallace) of Oak Harbor, grandson George Chartier and granddaughter Raylin Lee Wallace. Tom was preceded in death by both his parents and with his first grandchild, Olivia Lousie in 2010.

A Celebration of Life for Tom will be held on Saturday, March 9, 2024, at the Bellingham Ferry Terminal at 1:00.
