Sarah Elliott Rousseau died unexpectly on January 7, 2015.
The most important part of Sarah’s life was her family. She tried for years to become a mother and that dream came true when Gretl Elliott Rousseau was born on November 20, 2014. Sarah knows that Gretl will be lovingly cared for by her family. Sarah leaves behind her husband Adam A. Rousseau, her mother Constance Allard Elliott, and her sister Laura Elliott Johnson along with her daughters Grace and Audrey Johnson. She will be missed greatly by her mother in law Cindy Rousseau and brother in law Joshua Rousseau. Sarah’s extended family although large was extremely close knit, and she will be forever in the hearts of many aunts, uncles and cousins most importantly Muriel Allard, Chip and Linda Allard along with Tom Rousseau and Nancy Bolton.
She was born in Manchester August 22, 1975. She graduated from Trinity High School in 1993 and Notre Dame College in 1997. She devoted over 20 years of her life to her other “family” at Alpha-Bits Learning Center. As a director, teacher and friend to all the families at her school, “Miss Sarah” will be missed by many, many children that she loved so fiercely each and every day.
Sarah’s vivacious and beautiful personality lit up any room. She loved her home that she and her husband lovingly restored here in Manchester. She also loved her home that she shared with her family in Naples, Florida where she always enjoyed the sunshine and time on the ocean.
She was predeceased by her father Robert L. Elliott in 2004, her father in law David A. Rousseau in 2012, her cousin Andrew J. Allard in 2007, and most recently the man who walked her down the aisle on her wedding day, her cousin Matthew L. Allard in 2015.
A celebration of Sarah’s life will be held Saturday, January 17th at Manchester Country Club in Bedford, NH. It will begin with a prayer service at 10:00am followed by a reception. All are welcome.
