Courtney J. Lemire

With broken hearts, the family of Courtney Janice Lemire announce her passing at home surrounded by her loving family on Tuesday, February 3rd after a brave fight with Leukemia. Courtney was born in Littleton on January 2nd, 2015, to proud parents Nick and Samantha Lemire.

Courtney was a student at Lakeway Elementary School. She was also an athlete with the Special Olympics and especially enjoyed bowling. She had a burning desire to know what was for dinner beginning first thing every morning and was affectionately known as the “taco queen” at her house. Courtney loved school, unicorns, Disney princesses, and helping in the kitchen. Above all else, she loved her family and spending time with them, especially her brothers (Riley and Milo). Courtney will be remembered for her sweet, kind heart and her infectious giggles. She was a special girl to so many people and will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved her.

Courtney was predeceased by her uncle, Nick Marquis. She is survived by her parents, brothers, maternal grandparents (Mark and Joy Hebert), paternal grandparents (Larry and Teenia Lemire), aunt (Beth Marquis) and her partner (Brian Kinsman), and cousins (Kurt and Kody Marquis and Kopelyn Kinsman).

A memorial gathering will be held on Friday, February 13th from 3-5pm at Phaneuf Funeral Home & Crematorium in Littleton. Following the gathering, a reception will be held at Reklis Pint House in Bethlehem. Friends and family are invited to attend to enjoy some tacos in honor of Courtney.
