Kristi B. LeBlanc

She was born in Manchester on February 4, 1981, the daughter of Lori (Sidman) LeBlanc and Richard LeBlanc. She graduated from Manchester West High School, class of 1999 and the Continental Academie of Hair Design.

She was a talented and passionate hair stylist and color specialist, always willing to share her knowledge with others. She was most recently transferring that passion studying towards a new career in retirement investments.

In her life: Kristi was an independent and determined young woman whose free spirit and inner strength inspired all who knew her. She had an astonishing eye for fashion and makeup, loved shopping with her Mom, playing a round of golf with her Dad, spending time at the beach especially in Florida with her family and friends, traveling, riding her motorcycle, and her dog "Tyson".

She had an amazing passion for life and taught all who knew her some valuable lessons on how to live. She was gracious and selfless with inimitable courage that will forever be admired. Her beautiful eyes and infectious smile would light up a room and warm the hearts of her family and friends. Her amazing sense of humor and laughter were her gifts to protect those around her.

She leaves behind her parents, Lori and Richard LeBlanc of Bedford; her fiance Kevin Nyberg of Nashua; a brother, Joshua LeBlanc and his fiance Jessica Boulard of Los Angeles; a sister, Sarah Kelliher, husband Scott and nephew Sam of New Jersey; grandparents, Emile LeBlanc of Bradenton, FL, and Leonard and Patricia Duval of Bradenton, FL; several aunts, uncles, and cousins and other close family members whose lives are forever changed and enhanced by her love.
