Obituary

BELMONT---Melissa Preston (Mainville) passed away unexpectedly on August 7, 2021, at her residence.

Melissa was born on November 26, 1976, in Lowell, MA, the daughter of Denis and Colleen (McManamon) Mainville.

Melissa attended Gilford schools, graduating from Gilford High School before attending NH Community College where she received her degree.

She worked for several years at Lakes Region Hospital and established lifelong friendships with many of her coworkers. Throughout her life she gathered a broad circle of friends who remained friends throughout her life.

Melissa is survived by her beloved daughter, Jessica Marie Preston, her parents, and her brother, Joshua Mainville. She is also survived by her uncles, Michael McManamon and his wife Maureen, Paul Mainville, Jeff Mainville and his wife Charyl, David Mainville and wife Karen; her aunts Patricia Mongeau, Cathy Nickerson, Louise Woodward and her husband Brad; and many, many cousins and their spouses.

She was predeceased by her loving grandparents Robert and Velma McManamon, of Chelmsford, MA. As their first grandchild she was the “light of their lives” and they were hers. They had a special bond throughout her life and it gives us solace to know she is back in their arms again.
