NASHUA- Shirley A. (Pacheco) Thompson, 59, died Sunday, September 8, 2019, at Southern New Hampshire Medical Center surrounded by her loving family.

Shirley truly enjoyed life and lived everyday to the fullest. She never went a day without letting her family know that she loved them and cared for them.

She was predeceased by her brother Gilbert Pacheco, and her sisters, Becky Torres and Sally Pacheco.
