Joyce “JoJo” Clark (Lemieux), age 71, passed away peacefully on January 7, 2026, following a period of declining health.
Born to the late George E. and Lena E. Lemieux, affectionately known as “Peabody,” JoJo was known for her caring nature and quiet strength. She dedicated much of her life to helping others, both personally and professionally.
JoJo is survived by her children, John Clark and his wife Shana of Brattleboro, Vermont; Chris Heath and his spouse of Winchendon, Massachusetts; and Sarah Heath and her spouse Dean of Winchester, New Hampshire. She is also survived by her siblings Rebecca Rice of Winchester, New Hampshire; Gary Lemieux of Winchester, New Hampshire; and Raymond Lemieux of Manchester, New Hampshire. JoJo was a devoted grandmother to Toria, Ava, Destiny, Haydn, Camden, Lucian, Samantha, Stacey, Emily, and Riley.
She was predeceased by her siblings Judy and Benny, her son Stewart, and her granddaughter Abigail Dawn.
JoJo spent most of her working life in the healthcare field. She began as a nurse’s aide in the late 1980s and later devoted many years to working with children in a treatment facility. She went on to support adults with disabilities through Monadnock Developmental Services until her health no longer allowed her to continue. Over the years, JoJo earned numerous certifications that reflected her commitment and experience in caring for others.
In her quieter moments, JoJo enjoyed reading, spending time outdoors, and the companionship of her beloved cat, whom she thoughtfully rehomed when she was no longer able to provide care.
JoJo has been entrusted to the care of the Cremation Society of New Hampshire. There will be no services at this time. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of JoJo Clark may be made to Brattleboro Memorial Hospital. The family extends heartfelt gratitude for the compassionate care and kindness shown to JoJo and her loved ones during her final days.
