Jaime E. Dow

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Jaime Eileen Paris Dow, of Methuen, who passed away on May 15, 2026, at the age of 48.

Born in Methuen on February 28, 1978, Jaime was the beloved daughter of the late Keith Paris and Joanne Paris-Wildes. She was a proud graduate of Timberlane Regional High School, Class of 1996.

Jaime was the heart and soul of everyone fortunate enough to know her — a devoted mother to her four beautiful children, who were the center of her world and her greatest pride. She lived life with a fierce spirit and joyful heart, whether snowmobiling through the winter trails of Pittsburg, boating on Big Island Pond or Lake Winnipesaukee, camping in the family RV, or spending weekends at New England Dragway watching her children race dragsters. She loved shopping with those closest to her and never missed an opportunity to cheer on her children at their sporting events and activities.

Jaime adored her two beloved dogs, Bristol and Bella, and treasured every moment spent with family and friends. She was known as a loving wife, daughter, sister, the best auntie, a loyal best friend, and a woman whose humor, generosity, compassion, and kindness touched countless lives.  Strong, fearless, and endlessly giving, Jaime was a true fighter, fought for 9 long years with stage 4 breast cancer, a warrior who faced life with courage and grace, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, strength, and unforgettable memories.

She is survived by her loving husband of 14 years Dana Dow, she also leaves behind her sons, Cameron Katzenberger, Colby Katzenberger, and Alton Dow; and her cherished daughter, Addison Dow, her mother, Joanne Paris-Wildes, and stepfather, Stan Wildes.

Jaime is also survived by her brother, Keith (Kip) Paris Jr. and his wife, Sandra Paris; her sister, Kimberley Paris and her husband, Dave Blamy; and her sister, Emmy Paris and her wife, Carrie Heincelman. Her father-in-law, Mark Dow, mother-in-law, Linda Dow, and sister-in-law Sara Dow.  Jaime also leaves behind many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews, all of whom she loved deeply. She was predeceased by her beloved brother, Mark Paris. Jaime will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her, but her love, strength, laughter, and spirit will live on forever in the hearts of those she touched.
