Meaghan Michelle Aubut

Sanbornton Meaghan M. Aubut, a longtime resident of Sanbornton, made her journey into the arms of our Lord on November 9, 2016, surrounded by family. She fought cancer with persistence and resilience, winning every battle but ultimately losing the war. Meaghan was born in Laconia, June 13, 1997, daughter of Tracy Aubut and Michelle Beaudry. Meaghan attended, and was a 2015 graduate of, Laconia Christian Academy. Meaghan had many loves in her life. She had a passion for cooking, an obsession with the Food Network, and had a deep love for her three dogs. Everyone who knew her will remember her sass, her strong will, and her care for her friends and family. Despite having her own struggles, she became a mentor of sorts for other children dealing with cancer-related issues. Ambar, Jacy, and Tyler always had a special place in her heart. She especially enjoyed her time with her eight cousins, and always loved visiting her grandparents. Even through treatment and multiple hospital visits, she still took a class through NHTI with the hopes of attending the University of Vermont in the fall of 2017. She aspired to be a pediatric oncologist with the intention of helping other children that are going through what she went through. She is survived by her father, Tracy E. Aubut and his wife Kerri of Franklin; her mother, Michelle C. Beaudry of Sanbornton; her best friend and sister, Aimee E. Aubut of Sanbornton; grandparents Irene (Aubut) Morissette of Tilton; and David and Claire Beaudry of the RV; aunts Shari Colby and her husband, Travis; Heather Beaudry and her husband, Donald; Deanne Sargent and her husband, Jason; cousins Abby, Trevar, Bradley, Miles, Rochelle, Matthew, Joseph and Andrew; as well as her three dogs, Grace, Zoe, and Emma. She was predeceased by her grandfather, Richard Aubut in 2012. According to Meaghan's wishes, there will be no calling hours planned. A celebration of life will be held on Friday, November 18th at the Belknap Mill on 25 Beacon Street in Laconia, in conjunction with Grace Capital Church, from 3-6pm. The celebration will begin at 3pm but we encourage attendance at any time. We will be celebrating Meaghan's life by telling some of the many stories of her short, but very full life. A private burial will be held for family at a later date. Assisting with arrangements is the William F. Smart Sr. Memorial Home in Tilton. For those who wish to honor Meaghan's wishes, rather than flowers, please consider a donation in her name to the New Hampshire Humane Society at nhhumane.org or P.O. Box 572, Laconia, NH 03247-0572.
