Obituary, Ricker Funeral Homes & Crematory, Lebanon, NH:
Frances "Frani" Hanchett, 77, of Lebanon, NH passed away on October 26, 2023. She was born July 12, 1946 to Helen (Stone) and Errold "Buster" Hanchett in Hanover, NH. She graduated from Lebanon High School in 1964. She attended beauty school in Westbrook, Maine and then worked at the Modern Beauty Shop. She also worked for Decato and Cirone Law Office and then Dartmouth College in the Philosophy and Religion Dept.
In 1965, she married Dennis Dupuis and they moved to Florida in 1994. They divorced in 2009 and she moved back to the Upper Valley. Some of her greatest accomplishments were that she documented all the cemeteries in the Upper Valley and put them all on the FindAGrave Website. She loved researching her roots. She even found some distant relatives in Ireland. She and her sister Pam had the trip of a lifetime in Ireland and connected with these relatives and kept in touch with them. She spearheaded her own project "Adopt a Civil War Veteran" where she received donations for military type stones for the Civil War veterans without military recognition. She was able to get 85/101 veterans the recognition they deserved. She was the first woman City Historian for Lebanon and was also the Lebanon Historical Society President.
She is predeceased by her father (2007), her mother (2015), her sister (2020) and her ex-husband (2014).
She is survived by her two children, Lisa (Dupuis) Wentworth and husband Doug along with her son, David Dupuis and his wife Dawn. She has three grandchildren, Mikala and Jordan Wentworth, along with Ethan Dupuis. She is also survived by her sister Noreen (Rick) Lessard along with nieces and nephews.
