Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Rosemary Falcon Audette of Merrimack, New Hampshire grew wings and flew to meet her maker from Vero Beach, FL on February 26, 2024 after a courageous 4-year battle with cancer. Rosemary was the daughter of Arthur S. and Grace Falcon and was born in Lawrence, MA on March 9, 1947. She graduated from Lawrence High school in 1964 with honors and later earned a BS Cum Laude in Applied Sciences Management from UMass Lowell.
Rosemary had a vast range of career adventures which exercised her writing skills. Among them were positions as Technical Editor/Writer for RCA and Raytheon, computer consultant for Adams-Russell in Massachusetts and as Software Quality Assurance Engineer for Lockheed Sanders in Nashua, NH. One of her favorite endeavors was writing for the WSMN 1590 Broadcaster, where working in advertising and sales she created and wrote the column The Chubby Gourmet, which had its obvious benefits.
Rosemary followed those diverse vocations with a very successful 26-year career in Real estate sales, earning many awards. She was a member of the Women’s Council of Realtors, served on the NH Real Estate Board of Ethics and represented the Nashua real estate industry on the local chapter of Business Network International.
In her spare time, she enjoyed volunteering and participating in the communities where she lived and served on the Boards of Directors for the White Dory Bay Condominium in Provincetown, MA., and the Vista Harbor Condominium in Vero Beach, FL. Rosemary was also an officer of the Disabled American Veterans Unit 7 in Nashua, NH. Rosemary worshiped at St. James United Methodist Church in Merrimack, NH, where she often worked preparing overseas packages for underdeveloped and needy nations.
Rosemary loved to do artwork and travel. Wintering in Florida, she and her Husband were members of the Disney Vacation Club and enjoyed their cruises, all the parks and various festivals, and general travel around the state. Rosemary was an avid Mah Jong and Bridge player and was teacher of a Mah Jong group.
Rosemary is survived by her husband of 41 years, David C. Audette, two nieces, Jennifer Falcon of Worcester, MA and Dr. Rachael Falcon of Albuquerque, NM, her Uncle Roy Arsenault of Hingham, MA, a sister Linda McLennan of Hampton, NH and many cousins. Rosemary was predeceased by her parents, her Aunt Mary (Mae) Arsenault, and her Brother Arthur F. Falcon. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Nashua DAVA Unit 7, 1 Leewood Trail c/o Diane Mellor, Nashua, NH 03062.

Dave, We have so many fond memories of Rosemary. Her smile, wit, and intelligence were rare and priceless. We remember that incredible coincidence when we unexpectedly met at a roadside rest area while driving to Florida, the fun lunches at the Town Tavern, and her gracefulness during these last few weeks of her life. May these memories and more bring you comfort and strength in the days ahead.

Auntie Rosie, thanks for being the “fun” aunt who whisked us away to fantastic places and spoiled us with ice cream lunches and long days at the beach. I’ll miss you.

Oscar ‘Ozzie’ Annis & Charlie Cobb, Nashua, NH – Friends March 6, 2024 pm Dave, Charlie and I are totally shocked. We didn’t even know Rosemary was ill- let alone battling with cancer. We will always remember sharing your condo in P-Town during our annual Yankee Car Club weekend. Seeing you both sitting in front of City Hall watching the crowds walk by and us getting the opportunity to chat with you as we passed by makes for a happy memory. Rosemary said she would help me with my autobiography when I finished it, but i’ve not finished it yet. She was a great asset to BNI and helped us when we were looking for a new home. We’ll certainly miss Rosemary and I hope the prayers we send your way, will help ease your sorrow.

Dave, I can’t believe she’s gone. We connected more over the last few years and she was always so uplifting and ready for the next adventure. My mother, her “Madrinha”, loved her dearly. A sad day for me. With love, Cousin Marlene
