Vivianne G. Marcotte

Hampton, NH - Vivianne G. (Tremblay) Marcotte, a well-known resident of Hampton and past resident of Lowell MA, passed away on January 25, 2022 at her home, surrounded by her loving family. Born in Lowell, MA on March 30, 1935, she was the daughter of the late Joseph E. Tremblay and Blanche (LaPlante) Tremblay Dozois. She was raised in Lowell and graduated from Lowell High School in 1953. Vivianne was a Carney Medalist at Lowell High, an honor of academic achievement, and was also recipient of the Math prize, a rarity for a girl at that time! She went on to graduate from Tufts/Forsythe School of Dental Hygiene and worked as a Dental Hygienist prior to marrying and raising a family. While in Lowell, MA and later in Hampton, Vivianne was involved in the community and in the church. She served as PTA president in Lowell Public Schools, initiating many successful changes and fundraisers. After moving to Hampton, she was very involved with the former St. Francis Retreat Center and volunteered at their Tao Book and Gift Shop. As a daily Mass communicant, St. Theresa Church in Rye Beach, NH was an important part of her life. There she managed the Lighthouse Catholic Media program, maintained beautiful altar cloths, served as a Eucharistic minister and was involved in numerous church activities. Vivianne worked tirelessly for many years on the Hampton Conservation Commission. In her tenure as Chair of the Conservation Commission she initiated the grants process that allowed her to begin the salt marsh restoration projects which help protect much of the town from flooding and sea level rise. She brought the commission into the digital age making it a professional commission devoted to protecting the town’s natural resources and educating property owners on protecting their own properties. In one of her last acts as Chair she initiated the purchase of the Development rights to the Hurd Farm. This began a process of purchases of conservation land and development rights that continues in Hampton to this day. She was the wife of the late Atty Albert J. Marcotte.
