Brenda Marie Hamelin, of Hudson, NH, passed away peacefully at home, on the 31st of August, surrounded by the love of her family. Brenda was the widow of Raymond G. Hamelin, Jr.

Born on July 19, 1944, in Nashua, NH, she was the daughter of the late Frederick J. and Evelyn A. (Jalbert) Richardson. Brenda dedicated her life to caring for those she loved. Her greatest joy was her daughter, Jennifer, and her beloved grandchildren, who were the light of her life. She cherished every moment with them, and her family will always remember her warmth, laughter, and unwavering love.

For over 55 years, Brenda worked as a hairdresser, sharing not only her skill but also her kindness and friendship with everyone who sat in her chair. Her clients quickly became friends, and she built a legacy of compassion and connection through her work.

Outside of the salon, Brenda found happiness in life’s simple pleasures. She loved spending sunny days at the beach, where she felt most at peace, and she enjoyed many fun-filled evenings playing bingo with friends.

Brenda will be remembered for her generosity, warmth, quick wit, and the way she made everyone feel special.

In addition to her parents, Brenda was predeceased by her husband Ray, who passed away on December 22, 2016. They were married on February 4,1967 and shared nearly 50 years together.

She was also predeceased by her brothers, Carl F. Richardson in November 2001 and Alan J. Richardson in January of this year.

She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Jennifer & Peter Cebrero, her grandchildren, Isabella and Sofia, and many friends and extended family who will deeply miss her.

A private service will be held to honor her life. To leave an online message of condolence, please visit www.farwellfuneralservice.com Arrangements are in the care of the Farwell Funeral Service, 18 Lock Street, Nashua.
