Francena M. Sousa "Granny Franny"

Francena M. “Granny Franny” Sousa, 81, long time resident of Methuen, Massachusetts, passed away on Sunday August 23, 2026, at the family home in Fremont, New Hampshire.

Born in Methuen, Massachusetts, she was the only daughter of the late, Ralph R. and Rose R. (Finocchiaro) Beal. Growing up in North Andover with her only brother, Ralph, Franny was a graduate of North Andover High School, Class of 1963.

Franny developed long-time friendships at each place she worked. She was employed by the Lawrence Public Schools for many years in roles ranging from Lunch Lady to paraprofessional. Over the years she also worked at various department stores, local restaurants (who remembers her after hours at Sam’s Steak Out) and as a Matron for the Lawrence Police Department. She loved playing Bingo and would loudly exclaim “Ole” every time the #69 was called. She looked forward to seeing her Bingo friends on Tuesdays. Franny absolutely loved Tom Jones and was lucky enough to see him live several times. She knew the lyrics to every song and would get up and dance with such pure joy. Franny was kind and generous. If you ever needed something returned without a receipt Franny was your girl! She welcomed the challenge and would not leave the store without either getting you a full refund or store credit. She was the center of her family. All she ever wanted in life was for her children to be happy. She was a true Mama Bear if you dare to cross any of them! Franny had a love for lilacs and looked forward to her daughters picking them for her on Mother’s Day.

Franny was truly loved by everyone that knew her. She will be forever missed especially by her adoring daughters, Nancy Sousa of Fremont, NH, Brenda Merrill and her husband, Christopher of Danville, NH, her son, Paul A. Sousa, JR., brother, Ralph Beal, cherished grandchildren, Brittany Sousa and her partner, Tracey Smith, Taryn Merrill, Troy Merrill, Joseph Sousa and her great-grandchildren, Lilah and Luca. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren put a sparkle in her gorgeous blue eyes and a smile on her beautiful face. She will also be sadly missed but forever in the heart of her longtime love, Linval “Henry” of Lawrence, MA. Franny is also survived by many nieces and nephews, of whom she loved. Francena was predeceased by her daughter, Tina (Sousa) Bryson. May we all be at peace knowing that she has been reunited with “her Tina” and her parents who she missed so dearly.

Relatives and friends are warmly welcomed to celebrate Franny’s life on Sunday August 30, 2026, with Calling Hours from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, at the Brookside Chapel & Funeral Home, 116 Main Street, Plaistow, New Hampshire.

Sissel Johanne Dahl

Sissel Johanne Kvaal Dahl passed away peacefully on August 14, at the age of 83. Born on November 5, 1943, in Bergen Norway, to Leif Selsbak Kvaal and Helga Cecilie Kvaal, Sissel lived a life built around family and friendship, with a lifelong passion for books and sailing.

In 1968, Sissel left Norway for the United States to build a life with Jarle Hagen Dahl, the man she loved. They met in January, at a New Year's Eve party in Bergen. That April, knowing he would soon be leaving the country, Jarle invited her on a ski trip into the mountains — where he proposed, and Sissel said yes. Together they crossed an ocean, turning that whirlwind beginning into a lifelong adventure. The couple eventually settled in Atkinson, New Hampshire, where they raised their three children.

A graduate of the University of Oslo, Sissel was a voracious reader with a lifelong love of literature, and she built her career sharing that love with children as a school librarian — first at Atkinson Academy, and later at Iber Holmes Gove Middle School in Raymond, where she worked until her retirement. Anyone who assumes a librarian must be soft-spoken never met Sissel. She was gregarious, outgoing, and full of energy —often known to be the loudest person in the room, and without question the most outgoing librarian you would ever know. The children who passed through her library left not just knowing how to find a book, but loving the idea of reading one.

Sissel loved people, full stop. She built a network of lifelong friends so close she considered them family, and she brought a spark of life into every room she entered.

Alongside Jarle, she found a second great love in sailing. For decades, the two of them sailed the coast of Maine together, and it became her paradise. Even in her final years, when she could no longer be out on the water, she loved reminiscing about anchoring at her favorite spot in Casco Bay — the Goslings — sipping wine and watching the sun go down.

Above all, Sissel dedicated her life to her family, and especially her grandchildren, who held a singular place in her heart.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Leif Selsbak Kvaal and Helga Cecilie Kvaal, and her sister, Tove Kvaal Grevstad. She is survived by her husband, Jarle Hagen Dahl; her three children, Birger Stamperdahl and his wife Juliet Stamperdahl, Cecilie (Cecilia) Dahl and her husband George Cronin, and Kari Johanne Bodycote and her husband Bob Bodycote; her three grandsons, Xavier McNulty and his wife Linnra Ma, Ian McNulty, and Leif Stamperdahl; and a number of extended family members in Norway who have given her the gift of a connection to home all these years. She is also survived by a number of granddogs, who brought her great joy — except, famously, Harlie (with whom she had a complicated relationship.)

No services are planned at this time; a celebration of life will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in her memory to the Children's Literacy Fund (https://secure.clifonline.org/forms/donate), which provides under-resourced children in Vermont and New Hampshire with new books, author visits, and enriching literacy experiences. Sharing the gift of reading with children was Sissel's life's work, and we can think of no better way to honor her than to help that work continue.

Sissel left a light in the world that will not soon dim.

Janice worked for many years in the office of Pulsar Alarms. She was very fortunate to have coworkers who were like a second family to her. Her perfect day was spent on the water, kayaking and fishing. She enjoyed gardening and truly had a green thumb.

She is survived by her grandsons, Nick Brennan, Jonathan Sheehan, and Derek Sheehan, who brought her much pride and joy.

Wayne Mark Solimine

Wayne M. Solimine, 69, of Haverhill, Massachusetts, passed away on Saturday August 8, 2026, at his home he shared with his loving wife, Pauline and one of two cherished daughters, Jennifer.

Born in Stoneham, Massachusetts, he was the middle child of four brothers and three sisters to the late, Edward and Helen (Taraskiewicz) Solimine, and was a graduate of North Reading High School, Class of 1975.

Wayne was an avid Boston sports lover, especially the New England Patriots. He was notorious for his color commentary and could give sportscasters a run for their money. Growing up, Wayne loved to play hockey. To this day, he still enjoyed ice skating in the winter at the Veteran’s Memorial Rink in Haverhill where he taught his daughters to skate. Wayne also loved attending football games at his old high school in North Reading, vacationing to Aruba and Disney with his family, and watching anything sci-fi. Not one to shy away from hard work, he took pride in his long career in tile and construction, having worked on projects such as the “Big Dig” and the Hatch Memorial Shell in Boston. At the end of a long day, Wayne loved a good slice of pepper and mushroom pizza, a diet coke, and his mom's homemade whoopie pies. He loved to give treats to his best boy, Pepper. Wayne lived a simple, quiet life, but his many memories and everlasting spirit will live on in the lives of those who knew and loved him.

Wayne will be sadly missed but forever held in the hearts of his loving family and devoted wife of almost forty years, Pauline (Croisetiere) Solimine, cherished daughters, Jennifer and Chelsea Solimine of Haverhill, Massachusetts, brothers, Edward Solimine and his wife, Kathleen of Naples, Florida, Stephen Solimine and his wife, Peggy of Estero, Florida, and Scot Solimine and his wife, Barbara of Haverhill, sisters, Diane Solimine and her husband, Mark Wiley of Revere, Massachusetts, and Karen Solimine of Bedford, New Hampshire.

Patrick E. Doherty

Patrick Edward Doherty, 44, of Atkinson, New Hampshire, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, at his home, with his loving wife Julia by his side. He leaves behind his wife, three children, family, and countless friends who will miss his laughter, his friendship, and the unmistakable way he made people feel welcome.

Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Patrick was the fourth of five sons born to Dennis J. Doherty and Jane M. (Moan) Doherty and grew up in Wayland, Massachusetts. He and his twin brother, Mark, shared a bond that remained one of the most important relationships in his life. Patrick was a graduate of Wayland High School, Class of 2000, and later earned his degree in liberal arts from Fisher College.

Patrick's greatest joy and greatest source of pride was his family. Being a dad was the role he cherished most, and there was nothing he loved more than spending time with his children, making memories, and simply being together. He and his son, Brennan, shared a special bond through sports. Patrick loved coaching basketball and flag football, but his favorite place to be was on the court with his son, whether coaching from the sidelines, helping him improve his game, or simply shooting baskets together. Those moments meant everything to him. With his daughter, Liliana, he shared a love of art and drawing, happily spending hours creating and coloring side by side. And then there was Marlee, his little mini-me — the two were truly two peas in a pod, and Patrick adored her personality, her spirit, and the pieces of himself he saw in her.

Patrick had a way of making people feel like old friends. He never met a stranger he couldn't connect with, and his warmth, humor, and easy way with people drew others to him naturally. He had a deep appreciation for underground hip hop and loved sharing music, stories, and laughter with the people around him.

Some of Patrick's happiest memories were made at Hermit Island Campground, a place he loved dearly. It was there, many years ago, that he met his wife, Julia, and what began there grew into a life together filled with love, family, friendship, and memories that will last forever. Hermit Island remained his favorite place in the world — a place that represented some of the best parts of his life and the beginning of his family's story.

Patrick's bond with his twin brother, Mark, was especially meaningful — Mark was not only his brother, but his very best friend, and the two spoke multiple times a day, sharing a lifetime of inside jokes, adventures, and memories. He also treasured the lifelong friendships he built with the people he grew up with. The "Coch Crew" knew how to have a good time, and no matter how much time passed or how life changed, those friendships remained an important part of who he was.

Patrick was incredibly proud to be one of five brothers and loved being part of his large, close-knit family. He was deeply grateful for his mom and dad and never took for granted the unconditional love, support, and encouragement they gave him throughout his life. He shared a close bond with each of his brothers: Patrick and Shawn shared a love of Boston sports and could always be found texting back and forth about the latest game or score; Dennis was a constant and reassuring presence, always believing in him and reminding him to go after the things that made him happy; and Brian and Patrick grew even closer during the years they lived together in the family home in Brighton, with Patrick looking up to his older brother.

Patrick's greatest partner in life was his wife, Julia. For nearly thirteen years, they supported each other through life's ups and downs, always balancing one another in the best ways. He was her calm and steady presence, and she was always there for him, loving and caring for him through every chapter of their life together. Some of their favorite times were the simplest — being near the ocean, eating lobster rolls, and enjoying each other's company.

Patrick will be sadly missed but forever carried in the hearts of his wife, Julia (Paone) Doherty; his son, Brennan Paul; his daughters, Liliana Louisa and Marlee Emerson; his parents, Dennis J. Doherty and Jane M. (Moan) Doherty, of Wayland, Massachusetts; his brothers, Shawn M. Doherty and his wife, Erin, of Warwick, Rhode Island; Dennis T. Doherty and his wife, Ingrid, of Holliston, Massachusetts; Brian R. Doherty and his wife, Julie, of Concord, Massachusetts; and Mark J. Doherty and his wife, Ashley, of Worcester, Massachusetts; his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Paul Paone and Maureen Mulcahy-Paone, of Kingston, New Hampshire; and his brother-in-law, James Paone, and his fiancée, Kelley, of Hampstead, New Hampshire.

Patrick adored his time with his nieces and nephews and took great pride in watching them grow. He is also survived by his godson, William Patrick, who carries his name; his nieces and nephews, Grace, Camden, Kennedy, Bridget, Sadie, Colin, Jack, Ella, Pearl, Henry, Quinn, Vera, James, Daniel, Cameron, and Rylee; and many beloved cousins, whose friendship and connection he cherished throughout his life.

Though Patrick's life was far too short, the love he gave was immeasurable. He will be remembered for his enormous heart, his sense of humor, his love of music, and his gift for connecting with everyone he met — but most of all, for the deep love he had for his family. His greatest legacy lives on in his children, who will always know how deeply their dad loved them and how proud he was to be their father, and in the family, friends, and countless lives he touched along the way.

Relatives and friends are invited to Calling Hours on Saturday, August 29, 2026, from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM at Brookside Chapel & Funeral Home, 116 Main Street, Plaistow, New Hampshire. A Celebration of Life for Patrick will take place at the funeral home at 12:45 PM.

Following his retirement after thirty-five years of service he helped organize and instruct computer training programs for seniors in Lawrence, MA and Brunswick, Maine.

In 1996, Gerry and his wife Denise built a lovely home on Orr’s Cove in Harpswell Maine.

He also served for many years as a Eucharistic and Hospital Visitation Minister. While living in Haverhill, he coached Little League Baseball, and served as a coach and president of the Haverhill Youth Hockey Association.
