Joseph E. Belliveau

Joseph E. Belliveau, 95, of Manchester, passed away peacefully on June 30, 2026, surrounded by his loving family.

Born in Lynn, Massachusetts, on April 9, 1931, Joseph was the son of Alfred and Marie (Gaudet) Belliveau. He graduated from St. Jean-Baptiste High School and, shortly thereafter, enlisted in the United States Air Force. After serving his country for 20 years, he retired from the military with a rank of Technical Sergeant and began a second career as a Maintenance Technician at the New Hampshire Vocational Technical College in Manchester.

Above all else, Joseph cherished time spent with his family. He loved gathering with siblings and cousins, sharing stories from his childhood, and preparing meals, especially for family celebrations. During his early retirement, Saturday evening Uno games and Sunday morning family breakfasts became treasured traditions. In later years, he enjoyed reading novels by Tom Clancy and Clive Cussler, completing word search puzzles, and watching the Boston Red Sox.

Joseph is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 62 years, Annette; his children, Paul Belliveau and his wife, Pauline, of Hudson, New Hampshire, and Michelle Mersereau and her husband, Thomas, of Manchester, New Hampshire; his grandchildren, Andrew Belliveau and his wife, Senri, of Torrance, California, Jonathan Mersereau and his wife, Taylor, of Newington, Connecticut, Amanda Flynn and her husband, Casey, of Nashua, New Hampshire, Sarah DiChiara and her husband, Joseph, of South Easton, Massachusetts, Aaron Mersereau of Manchester, New Hampshire, and Samantha Roye and her husband, Colin, of Long Island City, New York; his great-grandchildren, Katarina-Rose, Charlotte, Lucy, and Jonah; his brother, Alfred Belliveau of Lynn, Massachusetts; and countless beloved nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, Joseph was predeceased by his siblings, Robert Belliveau, Marie Baribeau, Theresa LeBlanc, and Celia Logrippo all of MA.
