Bernadette Raff nee Martineau went peacefully with her Lord on the evening of October 19th, 2022. The Manchester, NH native awaits her 4 loving children, Camille (Pifer), Michelle (Rick Huff) , Dan (Kris dePontbriand), and Lisa (Gary Maybury) . She also leaves behind beautiful memories with her 11 Grandchildren and 10 Great-grandchildren. Bernie also has 2 brothers in Manchester, Dick Martineau and Cal Colby.
She was pre-deceased by her brother Roland Martineau. A lover of travelling, gardening, and watching and feeding birds, she loved to be outside, and always active. She will be sorely missed, but left a great legacy.
A memorial service will be planned for a later date.
Thank you to the wonderful staff at HopeWest Hospice, in Grand Jct, Co. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to them, and Bernie would love that. Her final words were “my family”, with a smile on her face.
Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.callahan-edfast.com for Bernies family.
