Newton, NH: Donald J. Munroe, 85, of Newton, died October 29, 2025, at the Rockingham County Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Brentwood.

Predeceased by his loving companion of many years, Rosemary McKee, he will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his brother and sister-in-law Richard and Mary Ann Munroe of Newton, his brother Robert Munroe of Epping, and his sister Claire Smith of Newton, and several nieces and nephews.
