Brigitte F. Noe, 55, of New Boston, NH passed away suddenly on Thursday, January 11, 2018 at the Catholic Medical Center, Manchester, surrounded by her loving family.
Brigitte was born In Sherbrooke, PQ, Canada on June 20, 1962 to Solange & Jean-Marc Bechard. Brigitte leaves behind her husband Charlie Noe of New Boston and daughter Katy Swafford of Manchester; a step daughter Crystal Noe of Washington, DC and stepson Charlie Noe and his wife Katherine of Bridgeport, CT; a sister France Clark and her husband Dennis and their two sons Austin & Jeremie of New Boston; a brother Marc Bechard and his wife Carmel of Merrimack, NH. Brigitte was pre-deceased by her sister Louise Bechard of Manchester and her father Jean-Marc Bechard of Merrimack. She also leaves behind numerous family members in the States and Canada.
Brigitte passionately embraced living through her devotion to her family, including her two Shih Tzu “boys,” Bailey and Hercules. She never passed up the opportunity to hunt for a good bargain, especially in the company of her daughter, but knew that some things were worth paying for both in time and money. In later years, she worked hard in her garden and generously shared flowers and advice with those she knew. She was also known for her extensive pottery collection. She will be missed for all these passions, but more for the liveliness she brought to all gatherings and to the people in her life. Brigitte embodied optimism in the face of setbacks and the spirit of joyful living to her family and friends.
Following cremation, memorial calling hours were held on Monday, January 15, 2018 from 4 - 6pm in the Peabody Funeral Homes and Crematorium, 15 Birch St. Derry. A service followed at 6:00pm in the funeral home. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Animal Rescue League of NH, http://www.rescueleague.org/donatenow.
