Sandra Jane Skladany, age 77, passed away peacefully at Fairview Senior Living in Hudson, NH, on March 7, 2025. She had been a resident of the long-term care facility since September 2023, where she earned the nickname “The Mayor” for her warm smile and outgoing personality—she knew all the staff members’ and residents’ names, and was the first to welcome newcomers when they moved in.

Sandra is predeceased by her father William Swartz, mother Jane (Fritchman) Swartz, fiancé Albert Budro, and brother-in-law Anthony Salerno.

She is survived by her daughter Elizabeth of Boston, MA; sisters Deborah Queeney of Little Elm, TX, and Diane Salerno of Roswell, GA; and brother Daniel Swartz and his wife Carolyn of Westfield, NJ. She also leaves behind seven nieces and one nephew and their families, whom she adored and relished spoiling with elaborate gift packages for holidays and their birthdays.

Sandra was born in Bethlehem, PA, on August 5, 1947. She grew up in Iselin and Gillette, NJ, graduating from Watchung Hills Regional High School in Warren, NJ, in 1965. She went on to become a highly skilled secretary who could type upward of 100 words per minute. Later in life, she began a new career as a home health aide, a job she was made for. She loved her clients and took great joy in caring for them.

Outside of work, Sandra was an avid reader and movie-goer. She also delighted in family vacations at the New Jersey Shore and New Hampshire Seacoast. She had elegant taste and decorated her dwellings over the years with cherished antiques, prized works of art (many featuring giraffes, her favorite animal), and a sparkling blown glass collection. She was a devoted Christian with a deep faith, worshipping over the years at Community Chapel Church of the Nazarene and Christian Bible Church in Nashua, NH. She was particularly active in organizing activities and outings for senior parishioners, with the Butterfly Place in Westford, MA, being a favorite destination.

Sandra’s family wishes to express our deepest gratitude to the compassionate staff at Fairview Senior Living and Home Health & Hospice Care of Southern NH. They are exceptionally skilled, tender, and attentive caregivers who made her final months joyful and serene, and she appreciated them so much. They also provided—and continue to provide—incredible support to her family as they process their loss.

Her family will be holding a small private memorial later this year. In lieu of a public celebration of life, we ask that you honor her memory by donating your time or other resources to a charitable cause close to your heart. In addition to faithful tithing, Sandra was extremely generous through other channels, most notably Compassion International, where she sponsored a child named Grace for over 15 years. Nothing would make Sandra happier than knowing her spirit of giving lives on with her loved ones.

   Richard Alves da Silva, 76, of Nashua, passed away at his home, surrounded by his wife, family and friends, Friday evening, March 28, 2025.           

   The youngest of five children, he was born in Brockton, Massachusetts on February 16, 1949, a son of the late Alexander Alves da Silva and Rose Pereira (Silva) da Silva. Richard grew up in Brockton and graduated from Brockton High School in 1967. An Army veteran, Richard proudly served his country from 1969 to 1972 when Uncle Sam came calling. Following his military service, he furthered his education at Massasoit College, earning his Associates Degree in Science in 1974 and went on to earn a BS/BA at Suffolk University.

   Richard spent over 30 years working for the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA), first at the Jamaica Plain VA and then the Bedford VA in Fiscal Service. He worked his way up from Accountant to Chief of the Department. Later in his career, he moved within the DVA to what was then known as Decision Support Systems (DSS), housed at the Bedford, Massachusetts VA.

     After leaving the Army, Richard took up long distance running and held many race records in local communities for a number of years. He qualified for the Boston Marathon when the qualifying times for his age group had been tightened up to 2 hours and 50 minutes. Sadly, due to an injury, he was unable to run the race. During COVID, Richard taught himself to play guitar and proudly played for his wife, greyhounds and guitar friends. Richard loved to send videos of new songs that he had learned to play to his family and friends. He always shared them with his guitar group first. Ultimately his favorite pastime was playing with and walking his greyhounds, Bryndel, Carlee (aka his Cawlee-Flower), Louie and Franco.

    Richard traveled to many places throughout the world, but his favorite places were those that he traveled with his greyhounds, like Greystock (GA); Greyhounds Reach the Beach (DE); Grapehounds (NY); Greyhounds in Gettysburg (PA); Burlington, VT and so many other places.

    He was a proud member of the Lauren Bateman’s Fellowship of the Strings Community.

    Members of his family include his loving wife, Patricia S. Klee (Nashua Ward Three Alderwoman); his four siblings, Nancy Lundberg and her late husband Carl, Robert da Silva and his wife Cora, the late Alexander da Silva and the late Rose Marie da Silva; nieces and nephews, Lynn Crapis, David Lundberg, Jeff da Silva, Sarah da Silva, Susan da Silva and Dan da Silva; dear family friend, Lynda Gillin; his beloved Greyhounds, Carlee, Franco, Bryndel (deceased) and Louie (deceased).

     Richard’s true passion lived with his beloved greyhounds and all greyhounds. He was extremely generous in his donations to greyhound shelters. His hope in life and in death is that he could save every greyhound and have enough property to house many. He would read stories about the rescues from the shelters listed below and immediately take out a credit card and make a donation or sponsor a foster. It is his wish that any purchase of flowers should be put aside and the monies be donated to the following shelters: Fast Friends Greyhound Adoption, 14 W. Swanzey Rd, Swanzey, NH (603) 355-1556; Greyhound Friends at Saddle Hill Rd, Hopkinton, MA 01748, (508) 435-5969. In addition to his greyhounds, he loved being a member of his guitar group named the Fellowship of the Strings and to be one of the original members of Lauren’s Lifetime Fellowship. Richard will be interred at the New Hampshire Veterans’s Cemetery, 110 Daniel Webster Highway (Route 3) in Boscawen, NH, Thursday, June 19th at 11 a.m. Friends are invited to attend.  To leave an online message of condolence, please visit www.farwellfuneralservice.com

Bonnie Christine Sico Russell of Goffstown, NH, passed away peacefully on March 9, 2025, at the age of 72, after a brief illness. She was born in Westfield, MA, on December 11, 1952, to Girardo A. and Eleanora (Consolatti) Sico.

Bonnie’s life was filled with compassion, creativity, and adventure. After graduating from Westfield High School, she pursued a degree in business administration and education, ultimately earning a master’s degree in counseling. While working in the accounting department at Anheuser-Busch in Merrimack, NH, she met the love of her life, Harry Russell. They married on November 1, 1980, and lived in Nashua, NH, before trading New England’s snow for the New Mexico sunshine in Las Cruces in 1993. There, Bonnie worked as a supervisor at the New Mexico State University Student Health Center until her retirement.

This chapter of the duo’s lives was filled with exploration and discovery. Visitors would not miss an early-morning walk, a trip to Historic Mesilla (or even Juarez for the adventurous), or the sight of jackrabbits darting into the mountains. Bonnie’s time in New Mexico also deepened her devotion to animals. As a Humane Society volunteer, she not only gave her time but also her home. She and Harry adopted dogs Charlie and Sammi and cats Oscar, Felix, and Lotti, providing them with a life filled with love.

When not exploring New Mexico or visiting family in Colorado and New England, Bonnie and Harry traveled far and wide, from Hawaii to Italy. Bonnie’s deep connection to her Italian heritage was reflected in both her love of cooking and her travels. She and Harry made several trips to Italy, visiting places like Rome, Portofino, and Elba.

Bonnie had an artistic soul and a heart full of curiosity. She was a talented artist, avid reader, and had a beautiful singing voice. She found joy in music, nature walks with her cousin Naomi, and watching birds at the feeder. A devoted, supportive, and genuine presence in her family’s lives, she leaves behind her loving husband of 44 years, Harry E. Russell, and her stepchildren: Janet (Francisco) Ginja, Debbie Morrisette, Sandra (Dan) Riedy, Harry Russell Jr., and John (Nicole) Russell. She was a cherished grandmother to Ryan, Evan, Jordan (late), Jacquie, Nicholas, and Macie, and a great-grandmother to Luisa.

Bonnie is survived by her siblings Gary (late wife Janine) Sico, Neva (Richard) LeSage, and Samuel (Lauri) Sico, as well as many cousins, nieces, and nephews who adored her.

Calling hours will be held at the FARWELL FUNERAL HOME, 18 Lock Street, Nashua, Friday evening, March 14^th from 4 to 6 p.m. with a prayer service to follow.  Interment will take place at a later date in  East Cemetery in Hollis NH.
