Diane I. Pearson

Diane I. (Lavigne) Pearson, 58, of Hooksett, passed away peacefully on June 26, 2026.

Born in Manchester on March 20, 1968, Diane was the daughter of Clement and Lucille (Dubuc) Lavigne. She attended Manchester Central High School and later earned her degree from Rivier College in Nashua. Since 1999, she had been a valued member of the Paragon Electronic Systems family, working as a dedicated data administrator.

Diane lived her life wholeheartedly devoted to her family and friends. She had a remarkable gift for making everyone feel included, celebrated, and loved. She found joy in gardening, decorating the spaces around her, and crafting thoughtful creations for those she cherished. No painting project was ever too big or too hard to reach. She loved boating on the lake, relaxing on the beach, and snowmobiling through the mountains. Above all, she treasured time spent with the people she loved. Known for never wanting a good time to end, Diane was often the life of the party—lighting up every room she entered and lifting the spirits of everyone around her.

Family was the center of her world. Diane poured her heart into raising her three children, supporting them through every stage of life from infancy to adulthood. They were her greatest joy and the constant focus of her days. Together with her husband, she built a warm, loving family—one that grew not only in number but in deep, lifelong friendships. Her nieces and nephews, her sisters, sisters‑in‑law, and brothers‑in‑law all held a special place in her heart. She cherished every gathering, large or small. Diane was also a devoted friend who loved her circle deeply, whether sharing moments in a lively group or enjoying a quiet one‑on‑one lunch. She will be remembered as a loving Wife, Mother, Gigi, Daughter, Sister, Aunt, and Friend—generous with her heart, her time, and her energy, always giving more than she had to offer.

She was predeceased by her father, Clement J. Lavigne, in 2014.

Family members include her husband of nearly 34 years, Christopher J. Pearson of Hooksett; her children, Bryanna Fitzgerald and husband Sean Michael of Manchester, Cooper Pearson of New York City, and Sabrynna Pearson and fiancé Matt Gilroy of Manchester; her mother, Lucille Lavigne and her partner Jay Hunter of Hooksett; her in-laws David Pearson and wife Amelia of Hookett; and her siblings, Linda Parent and husband Andre of Leesburg, Florida, and Denise Comeau and husband Stephen of Bangor Maine; along with several nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends.

Per her wishes, there will be no public calling hours. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Monday, July 6th at 10 AM at St. Joseph Cathedral on Pine Street in Manchester. Burial will follow at Mt. Calvary Cemetery. A celebration of life will be held in the fall.
