Laura Ann Gagne, 59, of Weare, NH, passed away on February 25, 2026. Born in Goffstown on April 16, 1966, she was a daughter of George and Patricia (Collins) Gagne.

Laura grew up in Weare and was a graduate of Weare High School, Class of 1984. She went on to attend Michael’s Cosmetology School and spent several years working as a hairdresser. Laura later worked at Jac-Pac before beginning a nearly 20-year career at Stonyfield, where she dedicated many years of hard work and commitment.

Laura found her greatest peace by the ocean. She treasured time at the beach, delighted in whale watching excursions, and loved visiting Nubble Lighthouse. She was wonderfully creative, spending time painting rocks and crocheting small treasures to leave in places for strangers to discover, each one meant to brighten someone’s day. An avid animal lover, Laura held a special place in her heart for her cherished dog, Annie.

Laura is survived by her mother, Patricia Gagne of Weare; her cousin, Linda Kohler and her husband William of Wells, ME; her aunt, Judith Borst of Carroll, NH; her best friend since first grade, Dona Roberts and her husband David of Milford, NH, along with Dona’s daughters, Aliza Leuci and Katrina Robinson and their families; as well as several cousins and friends. She was predeceased by her father, George Gagne.

Private burial will be held in the spring at Pine Grove Cemetery in Weare.
