Paul Stanley Yarmo

Paul Stanley Yarmo, 70, a lifelong resident of Hudson, New Hampshire, passed away unexpectedly yet peacefully in his sleep on March 22, 2024. He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, colleague, and friend, and leaves behind a legacy of love, wisdom, creativity and faith.

Paul was born on August 19, 1953, to John and Jacqueline (Malhoit) Yarmo. As the eldest of four children, Paul was playful and comedic and had a gift in sharing his humor through telling his stories with a witty light hearted banter.

Paul loved Hudson where he was raised and where he raised his own family. He took pride in being an Alvirne High School graduate, was a talented high school athlete and had a love for playing and watching sports, especially the Patriots, and the Akron Zips where his youngest (and favorite) son played football. Paul’s love of sports instilled in him a sense of leadership and dedication that launched his future success as an educator and real estate entrepreneur. After graduating high school in 1971, Paul received his B.S. in Elementary Education from Keene State College, and later attended graduate school at Brigham Young University.

Paul’s love for his hometown was evident in his numerous contributions to the community. One of his proudest achievements was the introduction of the Snoopy decoration in Hudson Town Square in 2013. Ok, that’s not exactly his proudest, but he truly loved that this whimsical addition quickly became a beloved part of the town’s Christmas display which epitomized the man that he was, a man that desired to bring joy to as many people as possible! Paul’s creative vision and dedication to spreading happiness in any way possible will be remembered fondly by generations to come.

After college Paul embarked on a spiritual journey to find his purpose on this earth. He explored many faiths which ultimately led him to find his purpose in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, where Paul met his soulmate and wife of forty-five years, Debra Jean Yarmo. Paul’s unwavering faith and commitment to his beliefs were evident in the way he lived and loved his family.

Paul’s ingenuity drove his professional transition from education to the field of real estate, where he started a small appraisal business. His quick wit and charm endeared him to many in the real estate industry and propelled his small appraisal company into a thriving network, establishing himself as a prominent broker in the industry. His ability to connect with others and build relationships made a positive impact by helping many individuals along their own real estate journey.

Paul’s greatest joy in life came from his family. He cherished his partnership with his wife, Deb, and together they created a beautiful family of 7 children and 26 grandchildren. With a tender heart and a compassionate spirit, Paul was a beacon of love and support for his family and his community, always putting their needs above his own and always ready to offer comfort and understanding. He will be greatly missed and may he rest in eternal peace.

Paul was preceded in death by his parents, John S. Yarmo and Jacqueline L. Yarmo. Paul is survived by his wife, Debra Jean Yarmo; His children: Jennifer (Matthew) Mortenson of Goshen, KY, Danielle (Kasey) Erickson of Longmont, CO, Brandon Yarmo of Hollis, NH, Andrea Yarmo of Hudson, NH, Logan Yarmo of Temple, NH, Kaitlyn (Alex) Muirbrook of Aubrey, TX, and Brycen Yarmo of Hudson, NH, as well as his beloved twenty-six grandchildren. Paul is also survived by his brothers Robert (Mary Sanford) Yarmo, John (Barbara Michaud) Yarmo, and his sister, Jackie (Charlie Gray) Yarmo, and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

A funeral service to celebrate Paul’s life will be held on March 29, 2024, at 6:00 PM at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, located at 110 Concord Street, Nashua, NH.
