LACONIA - Jeanne C. Foote, 90, of Court Street and formerly of Union Avenue, went to be with the Lord on Sunday, Oct. 18, 2009, at Bedford Hills, Bedford.

She was the widow of Haven L. Foote, who died in 1997.

Mrs. Foote was born April 18, 1919, in Chartierville, Quebec, Canada, the daughter of the late George and Marie (Beauclair) Pelchat. She lived most of her life in Laconia and was employed at Browning Laboratories Inc. and Wilcom, retiring in 1982.
