LEICESTER; Lisa Ann Haynes, 52, formerly of 1671 Main St. passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 24 at St. Mary Health care center on Queen St. in Worcester after a long and courageous battle with lung disease.
She leaves her daughter, Nicole M. Haynes of Rochdale; her mother, Beverly J. (Berryman) Haynes of Leicester; a sister, Diane E. Gosselin, her husband Brian along with their two children who Lisa adored, Alexis E. and Nicholas S. Gosselin from Spencer; along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
Lisa was predeceased by her father, Ralph W. Haynes in 1990 and her brother, Stephen W. Haynes in 1973.
Lisa was born in Worcester and graduated from Leicester High School in 1982, and then she spent many years working in various manufacturing companies until she became ill. Aside from spending time with her family, Lisa had many hobbies, including gardening, collecting coins, and making crafts. Lisa was especially good at anything involving mechanics and could put anything together, whether it was a puzzle or something electronic. Lisa had an incredible sense of humor and a contagious laugh. She will be forever missed by those who love her.
The family would like to thank the staff on the fifth floor at St. Mary Healthcare on Queen St. in Worcester and the VNA of Worcester for the exceptional care and compassion they provided Lisa in her final months. The family would also like to thank the Leicester Police Department for going above and beyond to assist Lisa during her illness.
Per Lisa’s request, following cremation, a Graveside Service will be held in Pine Grove Cemetery, 208 Pine St, Leicester, at 10:30 am on Saturday, July 30. There are no calling hours. In lieu of flowers, donations in Lisa’s name may be made to the Leicester Police Department, 90 South Main St. Leicester, MA 01524, and checks made payable to the Town of Leicester for the much needed use of body cameras for the officers’ personal protection.
