Blanche A. Vermette, 94, a lifelong Nashua resident, died peacefully at her daughter’s home on Saturday, December 25, 2021, surrounded by her loving family. She was the beloved wife of the late Conrad Vermette who predeceased her on Sept. 10, 1982.

Blanche was born in Nashua on Dec. 29, 1926 and was the daughter of the late Amarieus Morin and Armance (Cote) Morin. She attended Nashua schools and graduated from a two-year Bible college. For many years, she was employed by the Nashua Mills.

Blanche was devoted to Christ and worked with several different church ministries through the years, feeding and clothing those in need. She was a member of Grace Fellowship Church a number of years and currently belonged to Amherst Christian Church. She helped those with special needs as an Assistant Brownie Leader at Mt. Hope School, and volunteered her time at the Nashua Soup Kitchen and the Tolles Street Mission. She ministered with the teen outreach at Sheepfold Church. Blanche also dedicated over 20 years of service volunteering at many nursing homes in the Greater Nashua area. She faithfully devoted time each day, both on her own and with two partners, to intercessory prayer on behalf of their families, friends, the country and the world. Whenever the opportunity presented itself, she handed out her Gideon Bibles. She loved spending time with her family especially with her grandchildren and great- grandchildren who brought her such delight.
