Denise A. Gallant

Denise A. Gallant, born on November 28, 1955, in Leominster, MA, was a beloved wife, mother, Meme, sister, and friend whose spirit will forever illuminate the lives of those she touched. Denise's life was a testament to the strength of the human spirit, the power of resilience, and the beauty of love. "The best portion of a good person's life," wrote William Wordsworth, "is their little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love." In this, Denise was rich beyond measure.

Denise spent her professional career as an OR Tech at Leominster Hospital, where she was known not only for her skilled hands but also her compassionate heart. She retired from the hospital but continued to embody the ethos of care and service in her daily life. Denise made her home in Greenville, New Hampshire, where she cultivated a life of warmth and love with her family. Her laughter was infectious, her wisdom profound, and her love boundless. She was the heartbeat of her family, the steadfast lighthouse guiding them through life's tumultuous seas.

She is lovingly remembered by her husband Steven, and their sons Steven Jr. (Kristin) and Gregory (Amanda). Her grandchildren Grayson, Jetta, Callie, Ryaley and Adyllen and great grandchildren Rhett, Leeland and Calvin Jr. 

Denise was a cherished sister to David Quiet, Allen Quiet, Cheryl Gallant, Sandra Nowokunski, Mary Comeau, Karen Hess, and Joan Richard. Denise was preceded in death by her parents Clarence and Claire Quiet. Her memory will remain a beacon of love, compassion, and strength to all who knew her.
