Allenstown, NH – Janet Dorothy (Auprey) Beauchesne, 72, a lifelong resident of Allenstown, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her loving family, on Monday, October 6, 2025, after a courageous battle for a year and a half with pancreatic cancer.
She was born on August 12, 1953, in Concord, NH, daughter of the late Albert and Constance Marie (Spaulding) Auprey.
Jan married the love of her life, Ernest “Ben” Beauchesne in 1971 and they shared 54 wonderful years together.
Jan worked for the NH Department of Health and Human Services in Concord for 33 years, first as the human resources manager and later as a business systems analyst, retiring in 2004. She then went on to work part-time for 16 years at Concord Hospital as an ER registrar.
Jan loved trips to Ogunquit Beach in Maine, girls’ trips shopping and cruises with her friends. A self-described “foodie,” she enjoyed going out to eat, especially trying new restaurants. Jan loved to be fit and enjoyed exercising. Most importantly, she cherished time spent with her beloved family. Jan was always smiling, always ready for a laugh, and lived for the good times shared with family and friends. Her joy for life will never be forgotten.
