Jeanne Seccareccio, was born in August of 1936 to loving parents Henry and Elva LaRiviere. She was raised in Lawrence, MA alongside her dear sister Dolores (Dolly). Jeanne passed away after a brief health struggle. A graduate of St Anne's School, Jeanne made true, lifelong friends there. As a beautiful young woman, she was married to Anthony Seccareccio and together they had one cherished daughter, Michelle. Jeanne went on to open her own keypunching business and later to work at Raytheon in Andover, MA. Jeanne took great pleasure travelling either solo or with family. She visited cities in America & in Europe (with her mother in London), and in China (an especially fond trip with her cousin Patricia). She was a most loving and supportive mother. Be it visiting an art museum, chatting over salads or uncovering great finds at antique stores, Jeanne and Michelle enjoyed & admired each other tremendously. They were best friends. During most of her adult life, Jeanne lived closely with & cared lovingly for her mother whom she adored. Still, she found time to open two elegantly curated gift stores: First, Ruby's in Salem, NH and later, The Veranda in Methuen, MA. She moved from Lawrence to Andover (with her little dog Buddy in tow) and yet again to settle in Plaistow, NH. An artist & creative person in her own right, in each location in which she lived she created a beautiful home with unique treasures and pretty plants. Well liked by her neighbors, she was kind, generous and a very strong woman, living life on her own terms. She was distinctively one of a kind.
