Marion Gordon Obituary
Born April 30, 1962 in Manchester, Marion was the daughter of the late Maurice Letendre and Elaine (LaForge) Letendre of Pittsfield.
Marion graduated from Pembroke Academy in 1980 and was a mail carrier for the U.S. Postal Service in the Concord office, delivering to Bow.
She'd been a resident of Pittsfield for the past 23 years and enjoyed gardening and reading. Most of all, however, Marion loved motorcycles in general and riding her Harley specifically.
Marion is survived by her husband of 25 years, Philip "Sparky" Gordon of Pittsfield; two children, Hannah Gordon and Philip Gordon III, both of Pittsfield; a brother Michael Letendre of Manchester; two sisters, Suzanne Miller of Grafton, and Kristie Long of North Carolina; a half-sister, Patty Simpson of Montana; nieces and nephews; and her special friend, her dog Jack.
Marion was predeceased by a daughter, Kelly, in 1987.
Family and friends may share a time of remembrance Sunday, December 4, from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. at Still Oaks Funeral & Memorial Home, 1217 Suncook Valley Hwy. in Epsom.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, 5005 LBJ Freeway, Suite 250, Dallas, TX 75244 or The Breast Cancer Society, 6859 E. Rembrandt Ave., Ste. 128, Mesa, AZ 85212.

Marion, I will always remember your smile and your laughter! Your stories of family and your big trip! May you rest in peace and be free from all pain! Know I will always remember you and your laughter. I pray for your family to be strong during this very difficult time.
It will be the little things
that you will remember,
the quiet moments,
... the smiles, the laughter.
And although it may seem
hard right now,
it will be the memories
of these little things
that help to push
away the pain
and bring the smiles
back again.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Sparky, it's been way too long since I've seen your happy smiling face. And I didn't know Marion, but from the pictures Trish posted I can tell she was an amazing woman. I can see her bright spirit shine, right through her beautiful smile! I am so terribly sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you and the rest of the family! My thoughts are with you. Great big hugs!! Xoxo

Rest in peace my friend. You were a great partner in crime when we were young and I will always cherish the memories, especially those that involve us driving around and singing at the top of our lungs. Condolences to your family.

Marion you will be missed. You were one of the best carriers the Postal Service has ever had. You did your work and then went home to take care of your family. Your love you had for others radiated. At this time I am keeping your Family in Prayer. My deepest sympathy goes out to those you left behind. Denise Archambault
