Jeanne Lorraine Laliberte, formerly of Nashua, NH and Florida, closed her eyes for the final time on Sunday evening, October 18, 2015 and has now been reunited with her husband George with whom she shared 52 years of marriage before his passing in 2004. Mom, with her family by her side fought the relentless, never-ending battle with Alzheimer’s. We admired her determination and strength to fight the battle that she could not win. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
Born in Pawtucket, Rhode Island on December 5, 1936, Jeanne was the daughter of the late William and Jeannette (Payette) Lussier. She was educated in Pawtucket schools and later attended the New Hampshire Technical Institute in Concord, NH.
In 1965, Jeanne and her family moved to Nashua where they made their home for many years and raised her four children and watched her grandchildren grow. Jeanne also worked as a dental assistant for Dr. Arthur Comolli and Dr. Raymond Sirois both of Nashua.
As the years progressed, Jeanne and George retired to Florida and found a new home on a golf course. It was here they enjoyed daily golf and became true Floridians. Jeanne was the biggest cheerleader for all of her kids and grandchildren’s activities. She loved the beach in York, Maine, and loved sports, especially her New England teams. Jeanne was a member of the Nashua Country Club where she enjoyed golfing and curling.
Jeanne is survived by her daughter, Debi Beetz and her husband Jim; three sons and their spouses, George and Tricia, Dennis and Claire, Gary and Grace; her grandchildren, Derek, Deanna and Craig Jordan, Krista and fiancé Brian, Eric and girlfriend Laura, Tracey and fiancé Jeremy, Amanda, Grace, Stasia and Chris Shimkus, and Kristina; great-grandchildren, Cole, Olivia, Chloe, Cayla and Finn; a sister, Sue and her husband Norman Gilvey; a sister-in-law, Dolores Lussier; a brother-in-law, Richard Laliberte and his wife Jeannette; a sister-in-law, Jeanne Corser; as well as nieces, nephews and cousins.
