Aundrea Lansdown-Powers, 50, of Severance Road passed away in her home surrounded by family on July 13, 2016, after a long fight with cancer. Aundrea was born in Mineral Wells, Texas, to Nelson Clay and LeIla (Schwertfeger) Lansdown. She grew up in Grand Junction, Colorado, then moved to New Hampshire as a young adult, where she built her family.

Aundrea was married to William David Powers on June 21, 2003. Throughout her professional career, Aundrea had a heart to serve others. She started as an LNA working with the elderly and then taught herself sign language in order to be an interpreter for Concord Hospital. She went on to be a Crisis Intervention Counselor and then transitioned to owning and operating a licensed home daycare and preschool.

Her hobbies included gardening, working with clay, sewing, being outdoors, hiking, and spending time at the ocean. In the last few years, she found her true passion in goldsmithing beautiful works of handcrafted jewelry.

Aundrea is survived by her parents Nelson Clay and LeIla Lansdown; her beloved husband David Powers; three daughters: Amber MacQuarrie, Mariah Lansdown, and Naomi Naritsuka; siblings Evalie Lockard and Nathan Lansdown; lifelong friend and sister Renee Goodwin; son-in-law Jake MacQuarrie; grandchildren Ethan and Olivia MacQuarrie; and lots of nieces, nephews, and caring friends.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. (Mt. 11:28-30)
