Carolyn Dee Beranger
January 11, 1960 — August 11, 2024
With heavy hearts and warm memories, we announce the passing of Carolyn Dee Beranger, on August 11, 2024 in her hometown of Rochester, NH. Born on January 11, 1960, Carolyn spent her life surrounded by the people and places that she loved.
A graduate of Spaulding High School's Class of 1979, Carolyn was raised in Gonic and made Rochester her lifelong home. She was a devoted homemaker who filled her home and life with love, laughter, positive energy, and good music.
Preceding her in passing are her parents, O'Neil and Anna Richey; her brothers, Jere Thompson and Ronald Richey; her sister, Bonnie Lorenz; and her father-in-law, Robert Beranger.
Carolyn is survived by her lifelong partner and husband of 41 years, Scott Beranger; her daughters Amy Beranger and Kim Gildea (Beranger); and her three adored granddaughters, Mayson Gildea, Ahna Beranger-McNulty, and Quinn Gildea. She leaves behind her sister, Sharon K. Richey, her brothers, Jay (wife Renee) Richey, and Paul (wife Donna) Richey, and sister-in-law Debra Thompson. Carolyn's survived family includes mother-in-law, Karen Beranger, John (wife Delight) Beranger, Steve Beranger, Ed Owen, Rob (wife Jennifer) Owen, Beth (husband Mark) Hickey, and a large circle of nieces and nephews.
Carolyn was the embodiment of kindness, patience, peace, and joy. She was a genuine soul with incredible fortitude. She faced life's ups and downs with grace, always finding the silver lining and spreading positivity wherever she went. Whether she was listening to her favorite music, relaxing on the back deck, or spending a sunny day at the beach, Carolyn lived life with enthusiasm. She had a deep love for people, her pets, birds, good books, holidays, and, most of all, her family and friends. Being a "Nana" was her greatest joy, and she treasured every moment with her granddaughters.
To know Carolyn was to love her. Her warmth, laughter, and incredible personality touched so many that she met, and her bright spirit will continue to shine in the hearts of those who loved her.
Family and friends may visit Friday August 16, 2024, from 4PM - 6PM at the R. M. Edgerly and Son Funeral Home, 86 S. Main St. Rochester, NH.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to: Mass General Cancer Center at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital.
