Robin Barton
Robin Barton was born in May of
1956 in Virginia Beach, Virginia and
died a couple of days ago at the Dartmouth
New Hampshire Palliative
Care Facility after putting up a gallant
battle against diabetes and its
complications. Never one to complain,
she faced this horrific disease
until her body could no longer endure
this hardship. All that knew her found her to be a remarkable
lady full of love and compassion, and I, as
well as family and friends, miss her dearly.
As I awaited the eventual passing of Robin I tried to
understand why the world wasn’t transfied on the significance
of such a monumental event. Do they not feel
the encroaching sorrow that will soon be upon us? Are
they not privy to what’s happening? Did she not touch
all who were lucky enough to know her? I feel sorrow
for their loss, and eternally grateful for being her chosen
one.
“Woman,” was my pet name for this lovely creature,
and it paid tribute to her; she was always such a lady
and defender of family values and children. She gave
freely to the Shriner’s Hospital and the Central Vermont
Animal Shelter, and over the years cared for and cherished
her numerous small dogs. These little bundles of
joy were her constant companions, and brought joy to
her life. This joy, as great as it was, was only a distant
challenge compared to her son Chandler and his children;
she always made it a point to send them a birthday
or Christmas present. If times were tight, they could as
a minimum epect some of her fabulous cookies. hile
at this time I may have led you to believe they were her
whole world, we must acknowledge her mother, brother
and his wife, brother-in-law, and all nieces and nephews
who were also at the core of her happiness. My family
thought the world of her, and she was always a loving
significant figure in their lives. hen possible she was
in contact with all of them and took great pleasure to
know they were well and listened intensely to their days’
undertakings.
Robin loved her numerous gardens, her home, plants,
and gifts from family and friends. Robin prided herself
on her independence and was giving to a fault, always
thinking of others before herself.
Woman was a devout lover of the ocean, its sand, sun,
and the warm breeze coming off the water. Originally
living just a few miles from the ocean in Virginia Beach,
Virginia, she was able to frequently visit and bask in its
beauty. She traded this love of the ocean for the green
mountains in 1987, when she and her son Chandler
moved to Vermont to be with me!
obin first started work for oseph cEntyre a lawyer
in lainfield, ermont, and rented an apartment
above his office. Later on she worked as a legal secretary
or administrative assistant for various firms and
nonprofits. She took great pride in her work, and was
highly praised for her skills and accomplishments. –Michael

September 11, 1963 – April 20, 2022
EAST NTELE, T - n you
I’ve found the love of my life and my
best friend. Eternally yours.
Anthony E. Biron, 58, passed away

home with his beloved wife by his
side. He was born on September 11,

He worked at the family owned and operated C.P.
Dudley Store in East ontpelier. He later found a love
for carpentry which he pursued over the years. The king
of one-liners and dad jokes, quick witted and humorous,
he could always put a smile on your face. He could talk
to anyone, about anything, for as long or as little as he
wanted. A true staple of his community.
Anthony loved to go fishing, he’d go with family, a
friend or by himself, he was always ready. He loved to
share fishing tales and adventures by the river.
