Rebecca J Heath

Rebecca Jean Heath, beloved sister and aunt of Manchester, NH, departed this world peacefully on December 10, 2025, at age 72.

Rebecca (Becky) graduated from Manchester High School West. She went on to graduate from the Santa Monica School of Cosmetology, Santa Monica, CA and the Joe Blasco School of Makeup, Hollywood, CA. Rebecca was a successful esthetician in Beverly Hills, CA for over 40 years before relocating back to NH. It was her joy to make her clients look and feel beautiful.

In her lifetime, Rebecca was defined by her devotion to her family and friends, with whom she cherished every moment, and created lasting memories. Becky was a vibrant spirit, and her life was always filled with laughter and love. She spent her free time practicing yoga, her love for decorating, and losing herself to the simple pleasure of a good book. She had a big heart for all animals, her love and warmth extending to all creatures, no matter how small. Her love reached beyond her friends and family, and Becky took great pleasure in giving back to her community by volunteering each week at Food for Children. Her commitment to helping those in need added to her joyful spirit, which enveloped everyone in her life like a warm blanket.

Rebecca is survived by her two sisters, Bonnie McDonald and Michelle Evans; her brother, Henry Lemieux; her beloved niece and nephews, Drew McDonald, Thomas Evans, and Emily Evans; and her beloved companion, her dog Sophie.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Reggie Heath and Jean Howard Lemieux; and her sister, Connie Heath.

A Celebration of Life will be held in Becky’s memory on Thursday, January 8 from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Phaneuf Funeral Homes, located at 243 Hanover Street in Manchester, NH, followed by a gathering at The Puritan Backroom in the Pappas room, 245 Hooksett Rd, Manchester, NH 03104.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Food for Children (https://www.foodfc.org/donate/) in honor of Rebecca’s selfless and compassionate dedication to helping those in need.
