Claire Guyette Obituary

Claire Guyette of Merrimack, NH passed peacefully in her sleep on January 20th, 2026, just 19 days shy of her 82nd birthday. She was born in Manchester, NH on February 8th, 1944, to the late Adrien and Eva (St. Onge) Bergeron. Claire worked at PSNH (now Eversource) for 38 years before retiring in 2000. She never missed her morning walk, loved to read and spend time in her garden. She was also passionate about sewing and spent much of her time making items to donate to local nursing homes and shelters. She is survived by her husband of 56 years, Richard Guyette; her two daughters, Donna Wageling and her husband Eric, and Kristen Guyette; her grandson Hunter Wageling; and her two brothers Marcel and Raymond Bergeron. Calling hours will be held at the Rivet Funeral Home located at 425 Daniel Webster Highway in Merrimack, NH on Saturday January 31st from 11:00 AM -1:00 PM. Claire loved vibrant colors and the family kindly request to refrain from wearing black. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Darbster Rescue Foundation at darbsterfoundation.com/donate

I worked with Claire at PSNH in Human Resources for a year. She was someone I never forgot. She was a great lady with a great sense of humor. I remember her laughing she had a daughter going off to college and a daughter going into first grade. My deep condolences to the Guyette family.

One of the finest people I ever had the opportunity to work with. Always gracious and helpful dealing with HR issues. We shared alot of smiles in the Spring of 2000 as we were both on the brink of retiring. Glad to see she had a good run. RIP Claire hope to see you in heaven some day.
