Jannette E. Talbot

She was born on May 2, 1944, in Keene, NH, daughter of the late Erma L. (Moore) and Herbert W. Sprague, Sr.

Following high school, Jannette had been employed by Douglas Toys, American Optical, and Osram Sylvania from where she retired. She was always regarded as a hard-working and dedicated employee.

Jannette was one of the most charitable and giving people you could ever know. Whether it was goods or a monetary gift, she faithfully supported the Sullivan food pantry and the Salvation Army. She enjoyed participating in the Sullivan sewing club and Project Linus, a non-profit organization, that provides new handmade blankets to children in need. Many of her hats and blankets were gifted to the Cheshire Medical Center for cancer patients undergoing treatment. She also helped area churches by tailoring and fixing vestments.

Jannette was passionate about her family and loved spending time with her grand and great-grandchildren. She enjoyed gardening and was blessed with a green thumb. Her famous jams and jellies will be sorely missed. Her strong-willed, energetic, and outgoing personality will be remembered fondly by all those who knew her.

Jannette will be dearly missed by her husband: Dan L. Talbot, Sr. of Sullivan, NH; son: Daniel Talbot, Jr. and his wife Christine of Sullivan, NH; grandchildren: Keith Boettcher, Amanda Boettcher, Samantha Boettcher, and Joey Whittle; great-grandchildren: Carter, Jordan, Elijah, Austin, Lexi, Willow, and Stella; siblings: Beatrice Warner and Gary Sprague; as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family, and friends.

In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her brothers Manny and Herbie Sprague.

A Celebration of Life will be held from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm on Sunday, April 2, 2023 at Fletcher Funeral Home, 33 Marlboro Street, Keene, NH.
