Edward Charles Deschamps' Obituary
Life Legacy
PERRY, GA-Edward Charles Deschamps, 66, formerly of Nashua, New Hampshire, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, August 4, 2017. All services are private at the family's request. In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests memorial contributions to the American Heart Association.Edward was born in Nashua, New Hampshire, to the late Joseph and Cecile McIntosh Deschamps. He earned a Bachelor's Degree in Finance from Northeastern University in Boston. He worked in management at Zayre corporate offices, purchasing for all departments, for 20 years. Ed went back to college to earn his Master's Degree in Business Administration from Rivier University in Nashua, New Hampshire. His desire had always been to become an entrepreneur, so he purchased a Napa Auto store in Derry, New Hampshire. He worked hard at making his store the best it could be and was the first Napa Auto store in New England to update to the new store model when it was introduced in the 1990's. After owning the store for over 20 years, Ed and his wife moved to Perry, Georgia, in 2016. They built a new home that allowed Ed to enjoy the milder temperatures and truly enjoy retirement with his wife. Ed had been a Catholic all of his life. He was a member of St. Joseph Parrish in Nashua, for 35 years, and joined St. Patrick Catholic Church in Perry when they moved to Georgia. Left to cherish the memories of Ed are his loving and devoted wife of nearly 45 years, Louise Guay Deschamps of Perry, GA; his children, Ed "E.J." Deschamps, and Danielle Deschamps and her fiancee, Mark Totte, both of Nashua, New Hampshire; and several cousins.Condolences for the family may be left in the online guestbook at www.watsonhunt.com. Watson-Hunt Funeral Home has been entrusted with the arrangements.
