John Mulkerron
Retired Pharmacist of New Hampshire, formerly of Winthrop
John R. Mulkerron of New London, NH, devoted husband and father, died peacefully June 20 surrounded by his family. He was 74 years old.
Born in Boston and raised in Winthrop, he was the son of the late John and Elizabeth Mulkerron. John’s pursuit of higher education began at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy where he earned his BS in pharmacy and graduated with honors. He then went on to earn his Masters in Business Administration from Northeastern University. John was a life long advocate for success in higher education and a true representation of what opportunity such education can bring.
His career began at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as an inspector and later opened several retail establishments throughout the Boston area including Prudential Center Pharmacy, Center Plaza and Park Plaza Pharmacy. In 1990, he moved to NH after being named the Director of Outpatient Pharmacy for the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon. John facilitated and led the opening of a successful outpatient hospital based pharmacy and his model has been replicated in many hospital outpatient pharmacies. After his retirement in 2007, John continued to work in pharmacies throughout the Sunapee Region, acted as a consultant for Planned Parenthood, and taught Pharmacy Technician classes at Lebanon College.
John was able to find the time to volunteer as an active member of the Board of Health for both Lynnfield and Boxford, MA. In addition, he lovingly spent thirteen years building a stunning Friendship Sloop sailboat with his father in law which is still sailing on the Chesapeake Bay. He was an active member of the NH Pharmacists Association, American Pharmacist Association, NH Society of Health System Pharmacists, and the Healthcare Providers Service Organization. John also was an avid historian and expert on World War II.
Although John’s business endeavors and other efforts were quite successful, his most notable legacy is the family that he was so immensely dedicated to. The lessons he left each member of his family about respect, loyalty, tolerance, and unconditional love will live on forever.
He leaves his beloved wife of 49 years, Annmarie (Davidson) Mulkerron; daughters Maura Vallette of Estero, FL, Colleen Collins and her husband, Dr. Jeffrey Collins of Boxford, MA, Shelagh Brodeur and husband, Ronald Brodeur of Estero, FL, Bridget Mulkerron of New London, NH and sons Sean Mulkerron and his wife, Brooke of Concord, NH, and Bryan Mulkerron and his wife, Beth of Wauwatosa, WI, as well as grandchildren Cody, Dillon Noah, Shauna, Keanu, Shane, Annabelle, Nate, Lillian, Lucy, John, Molly, Tess, Sean, Emmet, and Charlotte; a sister, Mary Hagan, of Winthrop, a brother, Paul and his wife, Kathleen of Natick, MA, a brother and sister in law, Bonnie and Steven Colotti of Exeter, NH, and many adored nieces and nephews.
