Rose "Rosie" Marie Foote

On March 21, 2023 Rose "Rosie" Marie Foote passed away peacefully in her sleep
at home in Northfield NH. Rosie was born and grew up in Laconia, NH and lived a
wonderful life for 85 years. She was predeceased by her loving and dedicated
husband of over 30 years Sherman Foote.
Throughout her life Rosie held many different jobs and her last was a professional
presser at Franklin Cleaners which she enjoyed. Rosie’s primary goal in life was to
support and encourage her children, grandchildren and step-children regardless
of the circumstance. She was the glue that kept the family together.
Rosie hosted many, many family celebrations where she would cook for all. You
could always count on a hot cup of coffee and many delicious dishes. Her
tradition of providing everyone their “nuts ‘n bolts” at Christmas or making their
favorite pastry for their birthday was appreciated by all.
She looked forward to and enjoyed her summer vacations at York Beach with her
daughters and granddaughters. Everyone loved Rosie’s sweet and feisty
personality.
Rosie is survived by her sons Gary Benoit and his wife Tina, Ken Benoit and his
wife Kristina, Scott Benoit and his wife Diane; daughters Brenda Thisell and
Sharon Shepherd; grandchildren Jessie Thisell and her husband Pat Smith, Ben
Benoit, Dominique and Michael Murphy, Nikita and Dan Mayotte; and great
grandchildren Jackson, Lincoln, Bonnie, Ezra and Wendy. Rosie also leaves behind
her lifelong friend Corine Keyser.
A memorial celebration for Rosie will be held at a later date. Expressions of
sympathy may be made to St. Jude Children Hospital or the Granite VNA.
