Barbara A. Kasper, 79, of Manchester, passed away peacefully on September 17, 2025.

Born in Pittsburgh, PA, on January 11, 1946, she was the daughter of John and Doris (Samara) Finn. She resided in Manchester for most of her life and was a proud graduate of Central High School, Class of 1964.

Barbara worked as a legal secretary with attorney Michael B. Clougherty where she dedicated thirty-five years of service with professionalism, loyalty, and kindness. She later continued her career with attorney McDowell & Morrissette, PA, where she was respected not only for her skill and dedication, but also for the warmth and friendship she brought to her workplace.

Barbara had a unique sense of style that was subtle but noted and admired. She appreciated the simple things in life for herself, but was always a huge fan of her family and friend's successes and achievements. She adored her pets and cared for them with the same tenderness she showed to those around her. Barbara was always on the go and would take great joy in bringing people together. Whether hosting holiday parties or casual get-togethers, she created an atmosphere filled with warmth and laughter.

Above all, Barbara was a devoted wife, mother, sister and dear friend. Thoughtful, compassionate, and quick to offer support, she was treasured by those fortunate enough to know her. She touched the lives of many and will be remembered with love and admiration. An angel has left us.

Barbara is survived by her beloved husband, William Kasper, with whom she shared forty-five years of marriage; one son, Nicholas Kasper, of Miami, FL; two sisters, Patricia Alger and her husband James, of Nottingham, and Nancy Finn and her husband Jeffery Halsey, of Exeter; a step-nephew, David Halsey; along with many cousins and dear friends who will fondly remember her warmth and generosity. She leaves behind a legacy of love, grace, and kindness that will continue to inspire those who knew her.

Services: Calling hours are Wednesday, September 24, 2025, from 3 to 5 PM at Connor-Healy Funeral Home and Cremation Center, 537 Union Street, Manchester, NH, 03104.

I have so many fond memories of Barbara from the YMCA- we would meet up to go for short runs and we would laugh about her stomach gurgling because she said she drank too much coffee!

Although I only knew Barbara for a short time, she treated me like an old friend. What a wonderful personal quality. She is sorely missed now and shall be fondly remembered always.

We go way back. Too many laughs to count. She was a good friend & I'll miss our conversations about the "old days,"

To Barbara's husband, Bill. So sorry for your loss. I didn't know your wife personally, but I heard about her often from our mutual friend Bill Gagnon, who passed away earlier this year. I remember that you were the one who first handed me an Anne Rice book and got me hooked (I was Fran Weaver back then). My deepest sympathies on the loss of your beautiful wife.

Barbara was the kindest person I have ever meet and she had the grace of an Angel and a huge heart; over the years I have witnessed her always taking care of others, whether it was a family member or a friend and gave support and love to those whole heartly, even the furry stay cat’s that would roam the property, she would feed them and gave them a warm and loving home. That was the kind of person she was, I do indeed feel fortune to have known her and will miss her dearly. My deepest sympathy goes out to the family.
