Joanne Gloria Daigle, 64, passed away unexpectedly at her home in Londonderry, Wednesday, October 16, 2024. She was suffering from a gastrointestinal hernia that led to a blockage in her small intestine and unfortunately was not aware of the severity of the symptoms. She was born on January 20, 1960, to the late Ernest and Cecile (Bouvier) Desmarais, in Lowell, MA. She grew up and was educated in Dracut, MA.

Joanne had many joys in life. She enjoyed playing trivia and board games with her family, listening to music and attending concerts with her sons, and spending time at the park and going on walks. Most of all, Joanne cherished the time she spent with her family and friends. Along with her work as a nursing assistant for Home Helpers, she volunteered at the Palace Theatre as an usher manager. She was also a communicant for nearly 30 years of St. Jude's Parish, in Londonderry, NH.
