Visit the Phaneuf Funeral Homes & Crematorium - Hanover Street website to view the full obituary.
Carol Charest (90) of Manchester NH, passed away peacefully on May 1, 2020. Born on February 16, 1930 to Wilfrid & Mary (Carroll) Paris, Carol would spend her life in Manchester where she raised her large and loving family. Carol graduated from Central High School in Manchester and would later enjoy over 30 years of employment as a secretary at New Hampshire College where she made many friends and colleagues along the way. Her greatest pride was raising her 5 boys, all of whom will miss her greatly. Carol will be remembered as a caring and loving Nana who was at her best when surrounded by her family. Memories of her at home and at her kids' houses during the holidays or having walks around the mall will not be soon forgotten. Above all, Carol loved her family immensely and will be dearly missed by all whose lives she touched. Carol has joined her late former husband Roland Charest, sister Maybeth Oberti & son Michael Charest in heaven. She is survived by her son Gregg Charest and his wife Janice; son Brian Charest and his wife Cathleen; son Kevin Charest; son Douglas Charest; grandchildren Michelle, Rene, Susan, Amy, Elizabeth, Brent, Eric & Heather; great grandchildren Nicholas, Isabella, Vivienne, Susana, Olivia & Macy; as well as many nieces, nephews and extended family. A special thanks goes out to the wonderful and caring staff at Villa Crest Nursing home for the excellent care they provided to Carol during her time there. A private service in memory of Carol will be held in the near future.

My Nana, she will always be missed. She knew how to make sure that I always felt only loved by her. Her dignity, wit, strength and integrity have shaped me as a person. She always had something clever to say, a lesson to share, a hug and kiss to give. I'm so fortunate to have been able to call her Nana and carry her in my heart at all times.
