Jeannette Lapointe SOMERSWORTH - Jeannette Lapointe, 70, took her final trip on Sunday, Nov. 14, 2004. Destination: Heaven! Where she is with Jesus to whom she gave her life years ago and now takes her place in the Community of Saints. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend and will be greatly missed. She lived in Somersworth her entire life. She was an active communicant at St. Martin Church and joyfully participated in the parish as a member of the Ladies Guild, Our Lady of the Rosary Prayer Group, Eucharistic Minister, baking for fairs and cooking potatoes for the breakfasts. She especially loved singing in the church choir and was eternally grateful for the privilege to sing with her beloved choir. She enjoyed sketching flowers, especially roses, which now adorn the home of her family members and friends. Her greatest joy was visiting with her family at home or on vacations across the country.
