Theo Norma O’Brien, 99, passed away peacefully on March 25, 2017 at home, surrounded by her family. Theo was born on August 4, 1917 in Campton, the daughter of the late Karl W.

Wallace in 1995, and Barbara J. Mainville in 2010, and her brother Karl “Bucky” Jackson in 2006.
She was raised in Campton before moving to Concord where she became a hairdresser and met her husband. In 1958 they moved to Pelham, then to the Londonderry/Derry area in 1974 until her passing. She loved sports, both playing and watching, especially golf, tennis and bowling.
She is survived by her daughter, Denise Roche and her husband Christopher, their children, Brandon and Brittany and several nieces and nephews.
