Diane M. Wilkie

Diane M. Wilkie, 81, passed away peacefully on July 23, 2025, at Southern New Hampshire Medical Center. Born June 27, 1944, in Winchester, Massachusetts, Diane was the daughter of the late Francis and Thelma (Paugh) Noonan. She grew up in Burlington, where she attended high school and began building the foundation of a life centered on kindness, connection, and care for others.

Diane was the beloved wife of the late William Wilkie, with whom she shared many joyful years of marriage until his passing in 2012. She dedicated much of her professional life to healthcare administration, working at Memorial Medical Associates and later with Dr. Levine at Foundation Partners, where she eventually retired. Her compassion and warm demeanor made her a valued colleague and a comforting presence to patients and their families.

Outside of work, Diane was truly a “social butterfly” — known for her friendly spirit and ability to strike up a conversation with anyone. She found joy in simple pleasures: relaxing at the beach, spending time at her cherished lake house in Maine, and exploring new places while camping with family and friends. Her greatest joy, however, came from time spent with her grandchildren and family, with whom she shared countless memories during holidays, cookouts, and gatherings.

Diane’s warmth, laughter, and unwavering love for her family and friends will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Diane is survived by her four children Cheryl Wilkie of Bow, NH, Susan Levesque and her husband Dennis of FL, Debra Lavoie and her husband Rocky of Nashua, and Denise Primeau and her husband Michael of Nashua; her eight grandchildren Kevin Wilkie, Corey Mcclellan and his girlfriend Nikki, Madison Levesque, Julia Primeau, Sydney Levesque, Isabella Primeau, Jamie Lavoie, and Nicole Lavoie; her sister in law Jean Wilkie of Hudson: as well as many nieces and nephews.

In addition to her husband William, She was predeceased by her brother Edward Noonan, sister Barbara Savage, and her brother-in-law Robert Wilkie.
