Haverhill MA: Jeannette Madelaine Lachance, 92, of Haverhill MA, born and educated in Saint Robert Bellarmine, Beauce County, PQ Canada, died Wednesday November 30th at Kaplan Family Hospice House in Danvers. Jeannette immigrated to the United States at the age of 20, worked in the Haverhill shoe factories, and later was employed as a tester by Lucent Technologies, and retired after 33 years of faithful service.

Jeannette was one of fourteen children born to Georges and Delia (Gagne) Lachance, and often shared many wonderful memories of her childhood on the farm in Canada. Her faith in God, and the importance she placed on her daily participation at All Saints Church in Haverhill, was evidenced by the way she lived her life.

She leaves her brothers Rene, of St. Robert Bellarmine, and St. Ludger Beauve PQ Canada, Florent, and his wife Monique (Moreau), of Laval PQ Canada, Reginald, and his wife Jocelyne of Hollywood Hills Florida, sisters Aline Poirier and her husband Roland of Haverhill, Georgette Lachance of Mt. Clemens MI, and Marcelle Brosseau of Boisbriand, Canada. Jeannette was like a mother to her nephews George, John, Daniel, and Carl Poirier, niece Lorraine King, and grandnephews Jared, Drew, and Ethan, and many nephews and nieces in New Hampshire, Florida, Michigan, and Canada.

Jeannette was predeceased by her brothers Adrien, Gedeon, Fernand, and Adari, and sisters Irene Mercier, and Dianne Lambert, all of Canada, and Cecile Jacques of Hampton Beach New Hampshire.
