Pauline Delisle Obituary

Pauline Rolande (Janelle) Delisle, 89, Manchester, NH passed away peacefully at her home on February 7, 2026. She was born in Manchester, NH on April 24, 1936, to Roland and Marie (Soucy) Janelle.

Pauline was a loving wife, mother, and memere whose kind heart and supportive ways touched so many. She was always a cheerleader for her family. Her endless love and support helped them seek and attain their dreams. It is hard to forget someone who gave us so much to remember.

No one celebrated holidays alone. Neighbors and friends whose family lived distances away were always welcomed to join our family celebrations. She supported numerous charities, especially those that benefited babies and children.

Pauline worked a variety of jobs throughout her life, but the one she truly enjoyed was being a lunch lady. She was also a lifelong communicant of Sacred Heart Church and was active in a variety of church committees and events.

Pauline was predeceased by her husband Joseph, daughter, Suzanne and her parents Rolande and Marie Janelle. She leaves behind her children, Michael Delisle and his wife, Karen, Robert Delisle and his wife, Laura, Yolande Rohrbach and her husband, Dale, Christine Lyle and her husband, Michael, and Vivian Delisle and her life partner, Martin Havee. She leaves behind four grandchildren, Kelly Ndaw, Geoffrey Delisle, Nicole Bassett and Crystal Warner, and four great grandchildren, Connor and Dillon Bassett and Zach and Ben Warner, her sister, Helene Bourque, several nieces and nephews.

SERVICES: Calling hours will be held on Thursday February 12, 2026, from 4 pm to 7 pm at Phaneuf Funeral Homes & Crematorium, 243 Hanover Street, Manchester, NH. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, February 13, 2026, 10 a.m. at Sacred Heart Church, 265 South Main St., in Manchester, NH.
