Carmen M Duhaime

Carmen M. Duhaime of Peterborough, NH peacefully passed away at the age of 91 on May 11, 2023.

The daughter of Felix and Beatrice Beausolieu, Carmen was born in Fitchburg MA and grew up in Greenville, NH. She left Greenville soon after high school to pursue a career in medicine and graduated from Rivier College with her RN. She worked at Norwood Hospital in Norwood, MA as an emergency room nurse and then Monadnock Community Hospital as a floor nurse.

She was married to Robert B. Duhaime for 68 years and left nursing to become the office manager for his dental practice where she remained until their retirement in the early 2000’s.

Carmen was a dedicated parishioner of St. Peter’s and then Divine Mercy and had a deep love and commitment for all things Peterborough. She was a member of the Conservation Commission, a supporter and patron of the Peterborough Recreation Path, purchasing a bench dedicated to her and Robert, and a long-time volunteer at the Peterborough Food Pantry.

She loved gardening, needle pointing, flower arranging, cooking, and was an avid crossword puzzle solver.

Carmen is survived by her husband Robert, her daughter Anne Brnger and son-in-law Peter of Keene, NH, her granddaughter Emily Smith and her husband Kristian of Peterborough, NH, and her grandson Alex Mainolfi of Suffield, CT.

Anne and Peter want to thank the amazing staff at Wachusett Rehabilitation and Nursing Center and the Hospice staff at Brookhaven Hospice.
