Milanie Dupuis
September 23, 1925 — March 12, 2012
GROVETON - Milanie Dupuis, 86, of 26 Main Street, died in the evening of Monday, March 12, 2012 at her home after a brief illness. Her loving husband Leon G. Dupuis and children were at her side. Born and raised in Berlin NH, her parents Roman and Elizabeth Litvin predeceased Milanie. She was born September 23, 1925. During and after high school she was an avid ice and roller skater. In earlier years, she and her husband skated and did ballroom dancing with their friends. She worked at New Hampshire's grand hotels until she married. After marrying Leon, they settled in Groveton where she devoted her life to her husband of 61 years and five children.
She was a communicant of St. Francis Xavier Church and a past member of the Daughters of Isabella. Milanie frequently volunteered her time to support various church events and activities.
Milanie's life was spent as a homemaker. She loved to knit and crochet and was proud to make scarfs, and mittens for all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was especially proud to make baby blankets for the baptisms of her great-grandchildren. Although she loved craftwork, playing family card games, and reading mysteries her greatest passions in life were travelling with her husband and family, and being with family as much as possible. She enjoyed attending all activities her children and grandchildren participated in; always making an effort to be there to support their endeavors.
The last few months of her life were spent with her husband and children. She frequently discussed her joy of life and fortune to have lived so long. She was a wonderful, caring and loving mother. Holidays were always special with the latest Christmas being a typical one bringing 23 children, grandchildren and great grandchildren home.
She will be remembered as being a loving wife, mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt and friend.
Also surviving are her son James and his wife Diane of Barrington, NH, son Daniel and his wife Wanda of Ocean City, Maryland, daughter Nancy and her husband Gilbert Major of Andover MA, son Gary and his wife Elena of Amherst MA, and son Peter and his wife Julie of Milford NH; ten grandchildren; four great grandchildren; her brother Robert Litvin of Berlin, sisters Elizabeth Forestall of Berlin and Mary Jewell of Virginia; and many nieces and nephews. Her brothers William Litvin, Peter, John, Alexander, and Michael Kluchnick and sister Vera Barbin predeceased Milanie.
A mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church on Saturday March 17 at 11 AM. Father Daniel Deveau will officiate. Visiting hours at Bailey Funeral Home, Lancaster, NH will be held on Friday March 16 from 6:30 to 8:30. An internment service will be held at the St. Francis Xavier Cemetery in the spring.
The family would like to thank the staff of Northwoods Home Health & Hospice and Father Deveau.
