Christina Conneely

Christina (Jemery) Conneely, age 57 of Rochester, NH passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday October 21, 2020 at Wentworth Douglass Hospital with family at her side. Christina, also known as Chris or Chrissy to her friends and family believed that death is not a loss but is a transformation of the soul. She believed that life should be celebrated rather than mourned. Chris was born in Salem, MA on February 5, 1963 and is the youngest child of Ralph Jemery and Barbara (Durant) Jemery. Ever an enthusiast of the supernatural, Chris has often said to look for "signs" in the world and that  if one is open minded they will be able to see the many ways that those who have passed will never leave us. That is true now, as Chris will forever be with the many people who loved her. Chris is survived by her husband of 39 years- Terry Conneely, her son Patrick Conneely, her daughter Kiri Conneely, her son in law Eric Bastianelli, grandsons William and Alexander of Rochester, NH, her sisters Debra Davidson of Rochester, NH,  Kathy and her husband Kurt Morris of Milo Iowa, Isabel Lizotte of Salem, MA as well as many nieces, nephews and their children. Chris is predeceased by her parents Ralph and Barbara Jemery, brothers Harold "Jimmy" Battice of Lebanon, ME, Patrick Lizotte and nephew Moses Lizotte of Rochester, NH. Chris always thought and cared for others. She was an active participant and volunteer of schools and churches when her kids were young. She was also an assistant to children with special needs during that time. More recently she worked at DT Magnetics as a prototype inspector and lastly as an in home care provider to the elderly and disabled through The Homemakers Association and Lutheran Services. Though no job was as important to her as caring for her family, including her parents who both resided with her in their final years. Chris was talented at making those around her smile, including strangers with her made up songs, rhymes and dances. She was always generous and wanted to do at least one kind act for others each day. She loved abundantly and lived life fully, especially during her final summer which was spent with her family camping and had the best time. She looked to the future with humor and with hope and would ask all who knew her to do the same. Services will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers please make donations to you local food pantry.
