Marianne (Otis) Estey, 83, of Concord, NH, passed away peacefully on April 17, 2026, at Presidential Oaks, surrounded by her loving family.

Born on February 10, 1943, in Concord, Marianne was the daughter of the late Constance (Peabody) Otis and Oscar Outhouse. She was a lifelong resident of the area and built a life centered on family, kindness, and unwavering generosity.

Marianne was predeceased by her beloved husband, Donald Estey, and her sons, Kevin Estey and R. Scott Estey.

She leaves behind her devoted children, Kenneth Estey Sr., and Kimberly Bisson and her husband, Dana Bisson. Marianne was a proud and loving grandmother to Kristopher Estey, Mary Hensley, Krystal Robertson, Kenneth Estey Jr., Ashley Estey, Brittany Estey, Briana Estey, Kayla Bisson, Derek Bisson, and Kelsey Bisson. She also leaves several cherished great-grandchildren, along with dear nieces, cousins, and friends.

Marianne spent the final 13 years of her career as a secretary with the SEA/SEIU, retiring at the age of 70.

Marianne found joy in life’s simple pleasures. She loved spending time with her family, visiting with friends, and never missed an opportunity to relax with her favorite shows on the Hallmark Channel. She had a special place in her heart for all of her “grand puppies,” who brought her endless happiness.

Known for her generous spirit, Marianne truly had a heart of gold. She was always willing to lend a helping hand and would do anything for anyone in need. Her warmth, compassion, and selflessness will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

A memorial gathering will be held on Thursday, April 23, 2026, 3:00 – 5:00 at Phaneuf Funeral Home and Crematorium, 172 King Street, Boscawen, NH. A private burial will take place at a later date.
