Tribute
Celeste E. (Dufresne)
Cronin, 77
HAVERHILL, MA
Celeste E. (Dufresne) Cronin, 77, of Haverhill, died Saturday
August 21, 2010, at the Merrimack Valley Hospital with her
family by her side, after a sudden illness.
Born in Haverhill, she was the
daughter of the late Darrell and Eva (Lamothe) Cronin. She
attended St. Joseph's grammar school and was a graduate of St.
James High School, Class of 1951.
Along with being a homemaker, she
was employed as a house keeper at the former Hale Hospital in
Haverhill. Celeste made her life as a mother her number one job,
her devotion to all her seven children and unconditional love
never wavered. To her we were all perfect in her eyes, and she
would never change a thing. Everyone who knew
her, always knew
that she was a very bright, sweet and caring woman. You could tell her heart was big. She especially loved seeing her grand/great
children, but I think she was starting to lose count. Her
passion included reading, camping, movies, collecting teddy
bears and snow babies and especially music. Whenever she would
hear
any of Neil Diamond's songs her smile could light up the
room, she attended several of his concerts over the years. But
in her final moments, she did it her way with such grace,
bravery, and dignity, that we all are honored and blessed that God
made her our mother.
Celeste is survived by three sons,
Francis (Frank) Cronin of Haverhill, Edmund A. Cronin of
Florida and Patrick D. Cronin of Hampton Falls, NH. Four
daughters, Deborah T. Cronin of Plaistow, NH., Ellen E. Cronin
of Hampton Falls NH., Celeste M. Cronin of Ormond Beach Florida
and Kathleen M. Merrill and her husband Clayton of
New Durham
NH, eight cherished grandchildren, Melinda Cronin, Kyle Woodman, Savannah, Travis and Jake Merrill, Danielle, Ashley and Joseph
Cronin, five great grandchildren, a brother Darrell Dufresne of
Seattle, WA. She was predeceased by her brother Felix Dufresne.
