Emily P. Fitzgerald

Seabrook – Emily P. Fitzgerald, 80, a lifelong resident of Seabrook, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at Exeter Hospital. She was born in Newburyport, Massachusetts, on July 29, 1946, a daughter of the late Arthur and Frances (Pierce) Turcotte. She shared 56 years of marriage with her beloved husband, Delbert Fitzgerald. Emily was raised in Seabrook and spent her entire life on the same property she called home. She attended Winnacunnet High School and worked at Welpro Shoe Company before spending many years working as a clam shucker for various companies. She later joined Market Basket, where she worked as a cashier for more than 26 years and became affectionately known as “Miss Em.” Emily enjoyed life to the fullest and had a personality all her own. She loved visiting Foxwoods and The Brook casinos, trying her luck at the slot machines, and buying scratch tickets. She took great pride in her garden, where she grew both flowers and vegetables. She never missed an episode of General Hospital and enjoyed her daily shopping trips with her best friend, Carol. An avid dog lover, Emily cared for many of her family's pets over the years. To her grandchildren and family, she was lovingly known as “Mema.” Above all, Emily loved her family. She was happiest when she was feeding others and making sure everyone around her was taken care of, always putting the needs of others before her own. She will be remembered as a true firecracker who was never afraid to speak her mind and whose spirited personality could light up a room. In addition to her husband, Delbert, Emily leaves her children, Arthur Eaton and his wife, Claire, of Seabrook, and Kelley Halik and her husband, Scott, of Kingston; her brother, Arthur Turcotte of Gaithersburg, Maryland; her grandchildren, Bobby and Griffin LaRocque; her nieces, Jodi Marshall and Lori Marshall; and her best friend, Carol Welch. In addition to her parents, Emily was predeceased by her sisters, Opal Marshall and Sandra Randall. Visitation will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Sunday, August 23, 2026, at Remick & Gendron Funeral Home-Crematory, 811 Lafayette Road, Hampton. A service will be held at the funeral home immediately following visitation. Burial will follow at Hillside Cemetery in Seabrook. All are invited to attend a celebration of Emily’s life at the Seabrook American Legion on Walton Road following the burial, whether or not they are able to attend the services.
