Joan P. Dumont

Joan P. Dumont CLAREMONT — Joan Patricia Dumont, age 83, of Claremont, New Hampshire, passed away on June 8, 2022, surrounded by her sons and dear friends, Jan and Nora. Joan was born May 14, 1939, in Manchester, New Hampshire, to Beatrice Belaire. Joan is survived by her two sons, Roland Dumont, of West Lebanon, New Hampshire; and Mark Dumont and his wife, Paula, of Derby Line, Vermont. She is also survived by her three grandchildren, Catherine (Dumont) Ward and her husband, Ryan, of Derby, Vermont; Tori Dumont and her partner, Josh Riehle, of Palm Coast, Florida; and Matthew Dumont, of Derby Line, Vermont. Joan also leaves her two great-grandsons, Brannen Ward and Mason Riehle. All of whom are her pride and joy. Joan is also survived by special friends, Herbert Savery, Jan Lord, Nora Kells-Gordon; as well as her family at the Tolles Home in Claremont, New Hampshire; and her church family at the Meriden Congregational Church, especially pastors Sue Gregory Davis and her husband, John. Joan was predeceased by her mom and stepfather, Beatrice (Belaire) and Carroll Carlton, of Claremont, New Hampshire. Joan worked extremely hard her entire life, at Petersons Plastics, Joy Mfg., Goodyear Rubber, Splitball Bearing, the VA Hospital and Walmart, making friends wherever she was employed. Joan loved to do random acts of kindness for others while never wanting any credits for those acts. Joan was also known for her sense of humor saying almost anything to get a rise out of someone. Joan was the target of her own self-deprecating humor. Joan was fiercely independent and had a love for all New England professional sports teams. One of Joan’s favorite sayings was, “She lived, she laughed, she loved, she left.” In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Tolles Home, 44 Sullivan St., Claremont, NH; or the charity of one’s choice. A graveside service will be in Mountain View Cemetery in Claremont, New Hampshire, on Wednesday, June 22, at 11 a.m. Arrangements are with Stringer Funeral Homes and Crematorium, 146 Broad St., Claremont, NH 03743.
