Carleen was a devote Catholic who followed her faith and lived for helping others. She was charitable, not just financially but with the gift of time. Carleen repeatedly opened her home to those in need and her table for those who needed a meal. She was the definition of selfless. She enjoyed long walks on the beach, playing the organ or guitar, drawing, solving any kind of puzzle you put in front of her, and knitting items to be given out as gifts. She was an avid reader who loved to spend time with her family. Carleen will be greatly missed by her loving family and all that knew her. Survivors include two daughters, Laurie Dufour and her husband Robert of Merrimack, NH, Patrice Conley and her husband Paul of Nashua, a son, Ron Trudeau and his wife Sandy of Nashua, a sister whom she raised like her own daughter, Sharon Tyler and her husband Patrick of Hollis, NH, seven grandchildren, Maura Sherman, Robert Dufour, Christopher Dufour, John Conley, Nicholas Conley, Cameron Trudeau, and Danielle Trudeau, four great grandchildren, Lyla, Adria, Mayson, and Makenzie, also many nieces and nephews.
