Pauline J. Leclerc
Pauline Jeanne d'Arc Leclerc died on Friday, July 27, 2012 from complications of congestive heart failure. She was residing in her home in Nashua, NH until Friday when she was taken by ambulance to Southern New Hampshire Medical Center where she passed away in the ICU just before midnight. She was 80 years old.
Pauline was born on May 5th, 1932, in Lowell, Massachusetts to Arthur Armand and Alice Irene (Bergeron D'Amboise) Leclerc. She was baptized at the Ste-Jeanne d'Arc church in Lowell. Her father, a native of Manchester, NH, was employed in Lowell for a short time where he met and married Alice and returned to Manchester where the rest of Pauline's siblings were born.
A descendent of French immigrants, Pauline's ancestors emigrated from several areas in Quebec, Canada. Her parents and grandparents worked in many of the textile and shoe making mills in both Lowell and Manchester. Over time, they also established businesses and ran farms. She was very proud of her grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins that became part of the tapestry of workers, farmers and professionals in the Manchester and Lowell area.
Part of a close knit family and extended family group, Pauline has two brothers and one sister. She is predeceased by her brother Normand Leclerc of Sinclairville, NY and her sister Jacqueline (Leclerc) Houle of Stanton, VA. Her youngest brother, Arthur Armand Leclerc, Jr., lives in Laughlin, Nevada with his wife Theresa.
Growing up, she lived on Cilley road with her family and graduated from Saint Anthony's grammar and high schools in Manchester. A registered nurse, she graduated in 1952 from the Notre Dame de Lourdes Hospital School of Nursing that was at the current Catholic Medical Center, also in Manchester. She had the honor of being the president of her graduating class.
Pauline was married to Clifford Ernest LeBel. Clifford and Pauline were classmates at Saint Anthony's and graduated together. They married on December, 19, 1953 and divorced in 1979. Pauline re-married in 1985 to Warren Tyler and divorced in 1994.
She had a long nursing career starting at what was the old Boston City Hospital and ending at what was the Hunt Memorial Hospital in Danvers, Ma. She then used her medical knowledge in the employ of Blue Cross Blue Shield as a Utilization Review Nurse. In their employ, she enjoyed travelling to the various hospitals under her purview.
While raising a family with Clifford, they moved to Boston and then lived in many Massachusetts communities including Mattapan, Alston, Easton, Needham, West Peabody and Beverly. It was in Beverly that they built a new home, raised their children and worked in the area.
Her children include; Joanne Irene (LeBel) of Seabrook, NH and her husband Robert Addison, David Ernest LeBel of Ipswich, MA, Daniel Arthur LeBel of Nashua, NH and his wife Diana (Senn), Maria LeBel of Derry, NH and her husband James Webb, Raymond LeBel of Litchfield, NH and his wife Jolene (Hurley).
She has many grandchildren and great grandchildren that she was known as 'Memere' to and loved greatly. Also, her nieces and nephews were dear to her heart.
Throughout her adult life, Pauline was a cat fancier. She had many cats as pets and also bred them for sale and to show. Siamese cats where one of her specialties. Her car was easily recognized by her vanity license plate – LECHAT.
In her retirement she enjoyed keeping up with her many friends and family members. She belonged to a lunch group made up mostly of nurses and nursing school classmates that usually meet in Manchester informally called the 'Nightingales'.
The family will receive visitors 5-8pm Tuesday July 31st at Phaneuf Funeral Homes & Crematorium, 243 Hanover Street in Manchester.
