Elaine Florence (Boucher) Dube

Elaine Florence (Boucher) Dube, 80, of Nashua, New Hampshire, passed away on January 27, 2026, surrounded by love.

Born in Nashua, she was the daughter of the late Annette (Bouchard) Boucher and Edgar Boucher. Elaine built a life grounded in community, dedication, and the quiet pride she took in her work and relationships.

Elaine began working early in life, serving as a cashier at the A&P supermarket during her high school years. She attended St. Louis de Gonzague as a freshman and sophomore before transferring to Nashua High School, graduating with the Class of 1964.

Following graduation, Elaine pursued her passion for beauty and hairstyling by attending a local hairdressing school. She went on to work at the Looking Glass hair salon, where her warm personality and natural talent made her a favorite among clients. She later continued her craft from home and part‒time at the Greenbriar nursing home, offering comfort and confidence to residents through her gentle presence.

In addition to her work as a hairdresser, Elaine spent many years as a cashier at Alexander’s and Hannaford. Her friendly nature, steady reliability, and genuine kindness made her well‒loved by coworkers and customers alike.

Elaine was deeply involved in her community and family life. She served as a Cub Scout den mother, guiding young scouts with patience and creativity. She was also an active member of Immaculate Conception Parish, where her faith and commitment to service were central to her life.

Family time was one of Elaine’s greatest joys. She cherished camping trips in the White Mountains, hiking scenic trails, and savoring the peaceful beauty of nature. Every summer brought the much‒anticipated week at Hampton Beach–a tradition filled with laughter, ocean breezes, and memories her family will forever hold dear.

At home, Elaine found joy in crocheting, especially in crafting afghans that became treasured gifts for those she loved. Her handiwork, like her spirit, brought warmth wherever it went.

Elaine is survived by her son, Michael Dube, and his partner, Jenna Rzasa; and her beloved grandchildren, Paige and Cole, all of Nashua, NH. She is also survived by her brother, Leon Boucher, and his wife, Elaine, of Amherst, NH; her sister, Ann Gagnon, and her husband, William Gilman, of Keene, NH; her brother‒in‒law, Ron Dube, and his wife, Roseanna, of Mason, NH; and her brother‒in‒law, Rick Carbonneau, of Nashua, NH.

She leaves behind many nieces and nephews who brought her great joy: Karen Coutu and her husband, Michael; Craig Boucher and his wife, Julie; Karlie Tolman and her husband,

Joe; Justin Gagnon and his wife, Whitney; Kris Feinberg and her husband, Stu; Luke Dube and his wife, Christine; and John Dube and Ben Dube.

Elaine was predeceased by her husband, Maurice Dube; her sisters, Andrea Boersma and Marie Carbonneau; her brother‒in‒law, Wayne Gagnon; and her niece, Erica Hurd.

Elaine spent many years at the Courville Community in the later part of her life, and her family extends heartfelt thanks to all who cared for her with kindness and compassion.

Elaine’s life was shaped by the relationships she cherished and the simple joys she valued. She carried deep pride in her roots, her work, and the community she called home.

She will be remembered with love and gratitude by all who knew her.
