Marion Elizabeth Yeaton

Her parents, Fredrick and Helen (Stockwell) Charland, welcomed their daughter into the world on July 7, 1922 in Lyndonville, Vermont.

Marion owned and operated her own beauty salon, Marion’s Beauty Studio, on Court Street, Keene, for many years.

When not hard at work styling hair for many in the community, she loved being in her kitchen creating many wonderful meals for her family and guests who came to dinner. It brought her great joy spending precious moments with her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She also enjoyed sewing and knitting earlier on.

Marion’s faith was of great importance to her. She was a longtime parishioner of St. Bernard Church in Keene. When she was no longer able to attend church, she found comfort in her prayers and visits from those who shared her faith and provided her with the receiving of the Eucharist, which was most important to her.

Marion found a special place in her heart for her grand-dog, "Dottie", and that love was return to her from Dottie as well.

Marion is survived by her daughter-in-law, Nancy Yeaton, of Keene; her grandchildren, Karen LaBelle and her husband, Andrew, of Keene, Christopher Yeaton and Somprattana "Nikki" Parkhurst, of Henderson, NV, Jason Yeaton and Kelly Blake, of Troy, NH; and her great-grandchildren, Matthew LaBelle, Christene Yeaton, Ryan LaBelle, and Hunter Yeaton. She was predeceased by her husband of 58 years, Merton L. Yeaton, Jr. in 2000; a son, Leslie Yeaton on January 18, 2019; and a daughter, Joyce Ann Yeaton who passed away as an infant.

A mass of Christian burial will be celebrated on Wednesday, November 4, 2020 at 11:00am in St. Bernard Church, 185 Main Street, Keene. Burial with committal prayers will follow in the St. Joseph Cemetery, Main Street, Keene. There are no public calling hours.

In lieu of flowers, for those who wish, donations may be made in Mrs. Yeaton’s memory to the Resident Activity Fund at Keene Center Genesis, 677 Court Street, Keene, NH 03431.
