Mrs. Letendre was born premature, tiny and fragile and began her life with a fight to survive. It is this feisty spirit by which all who knew her will remember her. She loved life and lived it with a full and generous heart.
She was a graduate of Central High School, Class of 1938.
She was proud of the fact that not only did she walk to school from Hooksett every day, but that she also had a perfect attendance record for all four years of high school.

Mr. and Mrs. Letendre bought land on Lake Winnepesaukee in 1949 and together, brick by brick, built a summer home that is still a treasured retreat for the whole family. Mrs. Letendre hosted a multitude of parties over the years for family and friends and was herself the life of the party.
In all the years her four children attended school, she somehow always found the time to be actively involved in their events, clubs, hobbies and sports. She was a skilled seamstress and created many beautiful and clever costumes for plays and Halloween parties.
Mr. and Mrs. Letendre were avid square dancers and were president and co-president of the Allemande Eight square dance club in Manchester for several years. In 1964 they bought property on Daniel Webster Highway and ran a horse farm and relocated their retail and manufacturing business, Calico House, to this location. In 1986 they began construction of Meadowsett Village, a mobile home park in Hooksett. They managed this and other rental properties the same way they did everything – together.
Mrs. Letendre has been sorely missed for these last years when she lived away from us all in a nursing home in the silence of her illness. But we will remember her always for the laughter, strength and fortitude she brought us in her life.
She was predeceased by a sister, Ann Piaseczny; and a brother, Peter Zela.
