Heidi Hayes Obituary
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Heidi Anne Hayes on March 8, 2025 at the age of 60. Heidi was born on May 26, 1964, in Manchester, New Hampshire to Dan “Jack” and Mary Hayes.
Heidi was a clinical nurse coordinator for oncology at Dana Farber. Hardworking, she had an urge to always learn and grow in the oncology field. She touched the lives of all who knew her with kindness, generosity, and her bright personality. Her presence illuminated every room she set foot in. Selfless, she had a passion for taking care of others as well as a love for animals; especially her 2 dogs.
Heidi is survived by her sister, Holly; her children, Ryan, and Katie; her 3 grandchildren, Raelyn, Xander, and Indie; and her 2 dogs, Maya, and Bailey.
A Celebration of Life gathering will be held at Phaneuf Funeral Home, 243 Hanover St. Manchester, NH 03104, on Saturday, March 22, 2025, from 12:00pm-2:00pm. Friends and family are invited to attend and celebrate her life. The family requests that no black be worn to the service, but rather bright colors in honor of Heidi.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Humane Society of Manchester, the ASPCA.org/donate/ps-memory-sl-p1?ms=MP_PMK_GooglebrandMemorialSL&initialms=MP_PMK_GooglebrandMemorialSL&pcode=WEBMEMORYSLPPC&ds_rl=1066461&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwkN--BhDkARIsAD_mnIphrIuowQAVNqTVFggl97_kZN_4eSNLbjT__Yet6mR6Kdc7-V9PwYEaApWQEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds">ASPCA, or the Battered Women’s Shelter in Heidi’s memory.
