Lucille Vaillancourt

Lucille (Beauregard) Vaillancourt, 84, of Manchester, NH, passed away on February 13, 2025, at the Hillsborough County Nursing Home after a period of declining health. She was born in La Patrie, Quebec, Canada on June 3, 1940 to Francois and Josephine (Lapointe) Beauregard. Lucille lived in Manchester for over 60 years and worked at Velcro USA for 20+ years. She was a member of the ministry of the Ladies of St. Anne. This group of devoted religious women focused on charitable enterprises such as the Christmas Fair and Penny Sale, whose proceeds benefitted the parish and local community. 

 Lucille was a loving mother, grandmother, sister and friend, who was also affectionately known as grandma or grandmama. She was incredibly talented in various crafts, including sewing, knitting, and crocheting, as well as baking and preserving fresh fruits and vegetables from her husband’s fruit trees and garden. She also loved participating in and attending craft fairs. Her crafts and goods, including her famous raspberry pie, were often sought after. She also enjoyed playing games with family and friends, as well as going to lakes and beaches for gatherings.

 Lucille is survived by her husband of 64 years, Berchmans Vaillancourt; four children, Richard Vaillancourt and wife Allison, Francine Giroux and partner Craig Smith, Linda Biron and husband David, and Russell Vaillancourt; eight grandchildren, five great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.
