Elise Lavoie Pydynkowski, 65, passed away peacefully on Monday, October 6, 2025 at home, surrounded by the love of her family. She was the loving wife of Kevin Pydynkowski, with whom she shared forty-two beautiful years of marriage, with more than fifty years shared together.
Born in Revere on October 9, 1959, she was the daughter of the late Gerard and Jean (Cody) Lavoie. Elise was raised and educated in Salem and was a graduate of Salem High School. She lived in Danvers for over twenty years, where she raised her family, before making her home in Freedom, New Hampshire, for the past decade.
Elise was an avid gardener who found joy in the outdoors and the simple beauty of nature. Going for a walk, having a fire, and spending time in the mountains or Ossipee lake were some of her favorite things. She loved people and helping others and had a knack for making friends out of strangers. She was a loyal friend and fostered many lifelong and close friendships. Above all, she loved her family. She was absolutely devoted to her grandchildren, who were the light of her life. She loved life and brought joy, laughter and song everywhere she went.
She leaves three children: Kara Schwalbe and her husband, Kyle, of Billings, Montana; Kyle Pydynkowski and his wife, Michelle, of Raymond, New Hampshire; and Taryn Davis and her husband, Dylan, also of Raymond, New Hampshire. Elise was the cherished grandmother of Emmett, Wyatt, Ella, and Allie. She also leaves her siblings, Michele FitzGerald of Billerica, Gregg Lavoie of Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, Leanne Morin of Middleton, and Gary Lavoie of Alpine, Utah, as well as many nieces, nephews, and lifelong friends who will miss her dearly.
Visiting hours will be Thursday, October 16, 2025 from 4-7PM in C.R. Lyons & Sons Funeral Directors, 28 Elm St., Danvers Square. A service celebrating Elise's life will be held Friday, October 17, 2025 at 10AM in the funeral home. In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be made to NH Lakes at 17 Chenell Drive, Suite One, Concord, NH 03301 or the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation at 5526 West 13400 South, #510 Herriman, Utah 84096.
