Theresa Shirley LaBounty

Her parents, Joseph L. and Leona M. (Gratton) Frazier, welcomed their daughter into the world on March 31, 1936, in Bennington, Vermont. Shirley grew up in Troy, NH and was a graduate of Our Lady of Monadnock Academy in Jaffrey, NH.

Following her marriage to Edward P. LaBounty, Sr., the couple resided for many years on Elm Street in Keene, NH. The couple spent 42 years together creating wonderful memories until his passing on February 10, 2001.

Shirley worked for over 25 years as the head cook at the Keene Middle School, a job that truly gave her great joy over the years.

She enjoyed creating beautiful crafts and knitting. Shirley was an avid Red Sox fan, catching as many games on TV that she possibly could.

Shirley was a longtime parishioner of St. Bernard Church in Keene.

She will be greatly missed by many, especially her two sons, Edward P. LaBounty, II and his wife, Becky, of Swanzey, NH, Anthony J. "Tony" LaBounty and his wife, Laura, of Swanzey; three grandchildren, Travis LaBounty, Ashley LaBounty, Bianca LaBounty; a brother, Ronald Frazier, of Burlington, CT; three sisters, Elizabeth Nutter of Keene, Thelma Lawrence of Pelham, NH, Katherine DiLuzio, of Sarasota, FL; two sisters-in-law, Jane Haddlock, of NV, Fran Pruett of Hampstead, NH; and many nieces, nephews and extended family members.

A mass of Christian burial will be celebrated on Saturday, July 29, 2023 at 10:00am in St. Bernard Church, 185 Main Street, Keene. Burial with committal prayers will follow in the St. Joseph Cemetery, Main Street, Keene.

In lieu of flowers, for those who wish, donations may be made in Mrs. LaBounty’s memory to the American Cancer Society, NH Division, 2 Commerce Drive, Suite 110, Bedford, NH 03110.
