Jocelyn Gonyer-Neary

Born on July 12, 1939 in Manchester, New Hampshire, she was the daughter of the late Louis X. and Marie A. LeMire Gonyer. She was predeceased by her brothers, Louis Jr. and Robert, and sisters, Lorraine and Connie.

Jocelyn graduated from the Sacred Heart Hospital School of Radiology in Manchester, New Hampshire and worked as an x-ray technician at Meriden Wallingford Hospital and Radiology Associates of Meriden until her retirement. Over the last 36 years Jocelyn devoted her life to Alcoholic Anonymous, Alanon and Alateen as a mentor and advocate. She was selfless in this role and improved the lives of so many people who struggled with addiction. Jocelyn was known for her positive and gentle spirit, kindness, beautiful blue eyes, and warm and silly sense of humor. She will be greatly missed by the close network of friends who adored her, and her family of which she was so proud.

Jocelyn is survived by her two sons, Tim Gondon and his partner, Cami McLean; Richard Gondon and his wife, Dina Gondon; two granddaughters, Juliette Gondon and Jessica Sepowski ; and a great-grandson.
