Audriana's obituary
Audriana Maryjane “Audri” Bresnahan, age 15, passed away on December 26, 2025, in Dover, New Hampshire. Born on October 30, 2010, in Nashua, New Hampshire, Audri brought immeasurable joy and light into the lives of all who knew her.
From a young age, Audri radiated a vibrant energy that made her unforgettable. She was bubbly, funny, and full of life, a true spark who lit up every room she entered. Her laughter was infectious, her spirit magnetic. Whether she was cracking jokes or simply being herself, Audri had a way of making people feel seen and deeply loved.
Audri had a love for sports and thrived in athletic pursuits. She played basketball, volleyball, track and field, and soccer with passion and determination. Her creativity was equally boundless. She was artistic and imaginative, often expressing herself through drawing and music. She had a beautiful singing voice that she shared freely with those around her. Music was a special bond between her and her mother, Maria. They sang together often and were inseparable for most of Audri’s life.
Cooking was another joy for Audri. She loved preparing meals for her family and took pride in creating delicious dishes that brought everyone together around the table.
Audri’s connection with her family ran deep. As one of the eldest siblings, she embraced her role as a big sister with warmth and enthusiasm. She regularly built forts for her siblings, took them on walks to the playground, played nonstop games with Vivian and the twins, Owen and Elliot, and lovingly picked Vivian up from school each day to walk her home.
Her relationship with her brother Julian was especially close. They played video games together, sang duets, and play fought like best friends do. Their bond was one of joy and companionship.
Audri shared a love of the outdoors with her stepfather, Dan, and they often spent time fishing together. As a big sister to Elyse, Audri was always there for heartfelt conversations, offering advice, encouragement, and understanding.
Audri is survived by her loving mother, Maria Bresnahan; her brothers, Julian Bresnahan and Owen and Elliot Watt Bresnahan; her sister, Vivian Watt Bresnahan; her stepsister, Elyse Watt; her stepfather, Daniel Watt; her grandmother, Leslie Bresnahan; her grandfather, Michael Bresnahan; her great grandmothers, Maryjane Dunn and Katherine Bresnahan; and many devoted aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends whose lives were forever touched by her radiant presence.
She is reunited in peace with her great grandfathers, James Dunn and Francis Bresnahan.
Though Audri’s time on earth was far too short, the impact she made will last forever. Her kindness, humor, creativity, strength of spirit, and above all, her boundless love for those around her will never be forgotten.
May the memory of Audriana Maryjane “Audri” Bresnahan bring comfort to all who knew and loved her.
A Celebration of Life will be held on January 10, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM at Dover Elks 282, Durham Road.
