Noreen J. Verrington, 57, of Nashua, passed away peacefully on May 17, 2026, at St. Joseph Hospital in Nashua. Born on February 19, 1969, in Lynn, Massachusetts, she was the beloved daughter of Francis and Jacqueline (Bachand) Verrington. Noreen was raised in Nashua and graduated from Nashua High School with the Class of 1987.

Noreen shared over 20 loving years with her husband, William Skuse. They truly loved each other, their love deepening with every passing day. She was known for her caring and compassionate nature and always put the needs of others before her own, especially her beloved grandchildren. For eight years, she devoted herself as the primary caretaker for her mother, a role she embraced with love and dedication.

She found joy in life’s simple pleasures, especially trips to Hampton and Rye Beach, tending to her gardens and flowers, and listening to music. Noreen was a devoted fan of the Grateful Dead, whose music brought her great happiness throughout her life.

Above all, Noreen will be remembered for her kindness, loyalty, and the love she shared with family and friends. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Bird Song - Grateful Dead

All I know is something like a bird within her sang

All I know she sang a little while and then flew on.

Anyone who sings a tune so sweet is passing by

Laugh in the sunshine, sing, cry in the dark

Fly through the night

Don't cry now, don't you cry, don't you cry anymore.

Sleep in the stars, don't you cry, dry your eyes on the wind
