Raymond L. Voisine, age 84, of Londonderry, New Hampshire, passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 12, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family. He was the devoted husband of Celine Marie (Boulard) Voisine, with whom he shared 62 wonderful years of marriage, a testament to enduring love and partnership.
Born in Lawrence, Massachusetts in 1941, Raymond was the cherished son of the late Evariste E. and Beatrice (Parent) Voisine. He graduated from Central Catholic High School in the Class of 1959 and went on to serve his country with pride in the Army Reserves. Following his service, Raymond built a long and steady career as a warehouse worker in the food industry, where his work ethic and reliability earned the respect of colleagues, who later elected him shop steward.
Raymond was a man of quiet strength, deep loyalty, and a kind heart. He was the loving father of John Voisine and his fiancée Jennifer Martin, Kevin Voisine and his partner Debbie Danahy, and Trisha Arsenio and her husband Claudio Arsenio. His greatest joy came from being "Pepère" to his six grandchildren: Jacob, Nicole, Nicholas, Harrison, Joshua, and Ryan, each of whom brought him immense pride and happiness. He also leaves behind his dear sister Agnes Riel and her husband Joe, his sister in law Gloria and his brother in law Dick, and many beloved nieces, nephews, and cousins who will miss his warmth and humor.
He is reunited in eternal peace with his precious granddaughter Hannah and his siblings: Richard, Rene, Paul, Robert, Marcelle, Peter, Anita, Lucille, Rita, Claire, and Irene, as well as his sister in law Terry and brother in law Richard.
Raymond lived a life rich in simple pleasures and meaningful connections. He was an avid poker player who loved trips to Foxwoods, along with his weekly scratch tickets, a passionate Boston sports fan who rarely missed a Red Sox or Patriots game, and a dedicated community member. He served as a softball umpire and Little League baseball coach, sharing his love of the game and mentoring young athletes with patience and encouragement. Bowling nights and gatherings with friends were among his favorite pastimes. A proud member of the Knights of Columbus, Raymond embodied the values of faith, charity, and service.
His legacy is one of love, laughter, and quiet generosity. He will be remembered for his steady presence, the happiness he had at family gatherings, and the way he made everyone feel welcome and valued.
Raymond's life was a blessing, his memory a treasure. He was loved beyond words and will be missed beyond measure.
