Dianne Lynn Paulson

Her parents, Harry and Olive (Martin) Manning welcomed their daughter into the world on January 8, 1956, in Keene, NH. Dianne attended local schools and was a 1974 graduate of Monadnock Regional High School in Swanzey, NH.

Dianne worked for over thirty years in customer service with Markem Corporation here in Keene.

She enjoyed tending to her flower gardens, quilting, scrapbooking, cardmaking, crafts, knitting, cooking, and shopping trips. Dianne also enjoyed her trips to Cancun and the ocean. She loved chocolate chip cookies, her sister Debbie’s fudge and having her nails painted.

Her favorite pastime was spending time with her daughter Sarah, and granddaughters Mia and Maddie, especially watching their baseball games when they were little.

Dianne lived for a good laugh and never missed a beat. Her vibrant spirit and quick wit remained until the very end; true to form, some of her final words to Sarah were a mischievous reminder to "behave".

She will be missed immensely, especially by her daughter Sarah Brothers and her husband Michael of Swanzey; her granddaughters, Amelia "Mia" Tatro and Madeline "Maddie" Tatro of Swanzey; her sister Helen Senechal and her husband David of Hancock, NH; a brother Harry Manning of Nashua, NH; her brother-in-law Steve Bosworth and his wife Teresa of Ocala, FL; and a niece April Powers of Ocala. Dianne was predeceased by son-in-law Benjamin Tatro, a sister Debbie Bosworth, her ex-husband Bob Paulson, and a sister-in-law Debbie Manning.

Family and friends are invited to call on Saturday, May 2, 2026, from 11:00am to 1:00pm at the Fletcher Funeral Home, 33 Marlboro Street, Keene, NH. A graveside service will follow the visitation at 1:30pm in the Mountain View Cemetery, Old Homestead Highway (Route 32), Swanzey.

For those who wish, donations may be made in Mrs. Paulson’s memory the Dartmouth Cancer Center at Kingsbury Pavilion, 580 Court Street, Keene, NH 03431.
