Beatrice Greene

Beatrice Greene, 72, of Lakeland, Florida, passed away peacefully in her sleep on July 4, 2022, after a lengthy battle with liver disease. Beatrice grew up in Merrimack, New Hampshire, the first of seven children to Theodore and Fleurette (Oulette) Bureau. She lived and worked in Nashua and Bedford, New Hampshire, Phoenix, Arizona, retired in Pensacola, Florida, and settled in Lakeland. Throughout her career, she held many jobs (a lot of times two at a time to support her girls). Most notably, Bradlees, Heritage Cleaners, Kollsman and Best Ford. She enjoyed cross-stitch and crocheting blankets as keepsakes but loved nothing more than her family. Beatrice will be dearly missed and always remembered.

Beatrice was predeceased by her parents, Theodore and Fleurette Bureau (Bedford, New Hampshire), and her sisters, Claudette Caine and Sandra Spooner (Merrimack, New Hampshire). She is survived by her sisters, Donna Flanders and Nancy Vaillancourt; brothers, Norman and Peter Bureau; her loving husband, Steven Green; her daughters- and son-in-laws, Michelle and Mike Chartrand, Katharine Powell and Ric Hall, Jennifer Powell and James Smith and Elizabeth Tremblay; stepsons, Russell, Brandon, Brian and Ryan Greene, 14 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. Beatrice requested a celebration of life be held in her honor as opposed to traditional funeral services. We request all of Beatrice’s loved ones and friends to join us in celebrating her beautiful life at John O’Leary Community Center, 4 Church St., Merrimack, on Saturday, Sept. 10, 2022, between 2-4 p.m.
