GILFORD ----- Mary Ayotte Gablaski, 72, of Red Oak Drive, passed away at her daughter’s home on Wednesday, April 23, 2025.
Mary was born on September 13, 1952, in Franklin, New Hampshire, the daughter of Catherine (Chase) Ayotte and Joseph
Ayotte.
Her passion was connecting with people, seeing the best in every individual and creating platforms for those around her to thrive.
Mary was passionate about her children, reading and connecting with her friends and family. She was married to Richard for 45 years, who passed away in January of 2024. She also loved animals. She would always say, “I love my dog more than I do people.” She was a selfless woman, who dedicated her life to God and her family. She was the kindest soul but also a force to be reckoned with. She was fearless when she needed to be but walked with more grace and love than most around her. She gave more than she would ever take and always lived with her glass half-full.
Mary was a self-made businesswoman who concorded the workforce and held positions such as VP HR, CEO and she graduated Magna Cum Laude from UNH.
Mary is survived by her loving daughters, Katherine Auger, Courtney Gablaski, Stephanie Gablaski and Cyndi Gablaski; grandchildren, Deven Auger, Isabella Diorio, Maria Diorio, Stanley Monteiro, and the twins Chase Monteiro and Elizabeth Monteiro; her brother Ged Ayotte and her beloved pet, Scout.
