HOLDERNESS — It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Metta Viola McCranie, who left us on Oct. 4, 2026, at the age of 91. Born on July 25, 1935, in Campton, Metta spent her life bringing joy and warmth to those around her. She was a long-time resident of Holderness, where she will be lovingly remembered.

Metta was known for her compassionate spirit and dedication to her work as a wax injector at Hitchiner Manufacturing Co. Her skills and commitment in the manufacturing industry left a lasting mark on her colleagues and friends. Metta loved knitting, family gatherings, cooking, visiting her grandchildren, picture puzzles, watching the birds and other wildlife in her back yard. She used to enjoy going fishing and camping with her husband and family.

Metta is survived by her daughters, Debbie Cartier and Lynn Chunko; sister, Brenda Boisvert; many grandchildren; one great-grandchild; and many nieces and nephews.

Metta was preceded in death by her husband, Allan McCranie; father, Lester Plant; mother, Frances Plant; daughter, Wanda Brown; sister, Eva Worthen; and brother, Roger Plant.

A graveside service to celebrate Metta's life will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 16, at Blair Cemetery, Campton. For those wishing to pay their respects, please gather with us as we honor her memory and bid farewell.

We invite all who knew and loved Metta to join us in remembering a remarkable woman whose spirit will forever be in our hearts.
