Mary Caroline Bellavance

Mary Bellavance, 72, passed away unexpectedly on November 6, 2025. Mary was a loving mother, grandmother, sister, and friend whose warmth, humor, and generous spirit touched everyone who knew her.

Born and raised with a deep love for family, Mary’s life was defined by her devotion to those closest to her. She is survived by her four sons, whom she adored: Ronald Burgess and his wife Kelley of Goffstown, NH; Christopher Burgess and his wife Jenn of Nashua, NH; Timothy Burgess and his wife Amy of Weare, NH; and Joseph Chandonnet and his wife Britt of Auburn, NH

Mary was a proud and devoted grandmother to Conner, Tristen, Cheyenne, Christopher, Hailie, Logan, and Remington, and a joyful great-grandmother to Everett, son of Tristen. She is also survived by her sister, Carol Haggar and her husband Frank, and her brother, Joseph Pawlick and his wife Patricia.

Mary was predeceased by her sister Susan Pawlick and brothers John Pawlick and Leo Boucher. She was a cherished aunt to many nieces and nephews who will fondly remember her laughter and love.

Mary found joy in life’s simple pleasures. She loved curling up with a good book, crafting, cooking delicious meals for family gatherings, and exploring her ever-growing DVD and streaming collections. She delighted in FaceTiming with her out-of-town grandchildren, always keeping close no matter the distance. With her trademark wit, she also proudly “helped keep the wine industry in business.”

Mary’s legacy is one of love, laughter, and family. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Private services will be held by the family at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Mary’s name to Boston Children’s Hospital, per her wishes.
