COLEBROOK – Rose Anna Beloin Lavigne, 98, passed away on Friday, June 8, 2018 at the Coӧs County Nursing Hospital in West Stewartstown after a long and beautiful life in Colebrook which she always said was a wonderful place to raise her family. She was born on March 29, 1920, in East Hereford, Que., the daughter of the late Joseph and Orise (Bedard) Beloin. She was a great mom, devoted wife and caregiver to her husband Ernest who predeceased her in 1995. She loved to care for her flower gardens, cook, sew, and take daily walks with her neighbor, Adrienne. Rose was pleased to work at Manchester Manufacturing for several years as MMI’s Sample Maker. Her children, Suzanne Collins, Helene Phillips, and Raymond Lavigne miss her dearly, as do her son-in-law Brent Phillips and grandchildren Timothy and Jeffrey Phillips, their wives and children. She is also survived by one brother Alfred Beloin, Ray’s stepchildren, and fiancée Kim Plumley. Rose Anna was predeceased by her sisters Alice, Armanda, Clara, Evelyn, Lea, Maria and Yvonne; her brothers Armand, Josephat, Rosario and their spouses; and daughter-in-law Bèrangére Lavigne. There are no calling hours. A private graveside service will be held at St. Brendan’s Cemetery at a later date. The family requests that any memorial donations be made to the Coӧs County Nursing Hospital Memorial Fund, P.O. Box 10, W. Stewartstown, NH, 03597, in recognition of the excellent, compassionate care she received after she made CCNH her home.
