| Obituary | Feb 10, 2001 | OBITUARY: Phyllis (Pudvah) Blodgett, 88, passed away peacefully Feb. 9, 2001, in the presence of her beloved granddaughters, Deborah Cahill and Sharyn Kane, while in Birchwood Terrace Health Care in Burlington. Phyllis was born Jan. 5, 1913, the daughter of Frank Pudvah, in Richford. In 1932, she married Mahlon Blodgett, who predeceased her in 1987. She was also predeceased by a son, Hollis Pudvah, in 1990; his son, Richard Pudvah, in 1995; a daughter, Carol Brothers, in 1994; and two brothers, Richard and Reginald. During the early years of her marriage, Phyllis lived on a farm on West Hill in Montgomery. She always spoke very fondly of the joy of raising her children on West Hill. In the early 1960s, Phyllis and Mahlon moved to the town of Montgomery. While having worked at numerous places during her life, her fondest memories were of working at Jay Peak Resort for more than 30 years. She was the manager of the ""state side" of the resort, and many, many skiers looked forward to visiting her while spending the day at Jay. Many became lifelong friends; it was not unusual to find someone visiting Phyllis every day after she retired. One of her greatest joys came from cooking and caring for others. Phyllis touched many lives in her life and was loved by all. She had unending love and compassion, and her life was one of service to God, and her family. She greeted each day with a smile and will be extremely missed by all. She is survived by two sons, Stanley Blodgett and his companion, Ruby Jones, of Enosburg Falls, and Owen Blodgett and his wife, Myra, of Massachusetts; two daughters-in-law, Rose Fontaine and her husband, Andy, and Margaret Pudvah and children Lori, Kathy, and Michael; and a sister, Pearl and her husband, Doug Tryhorne and their children, Joy and David. She also leaves 11 grandchildren and their families, Sharyn and Tim Kane and children Ryan, Devin, and Danny; Stanley and Shelley Blodgett and children Danielle, Ian, Eric, and Evan; Rodney Blodgett and children Rodney and Emily; Deborah Cahill, Darlene Pudvah, Diane and Rick Handy and children Angie, Michael, and Christopher; Randy Blodgett and children Anthony and Nicholas; Lorelie Lee and children Nathan and Cruz, James Brothers and child Tabitha, Pamela Springer and her fiancé, Angelo, and children Christopher and Mary Brothers (Jordan–Phyllis' great-great-granddaughter); and Michelle, William, and Jean Brothers and children Craig and Becky and Jean's three sons, Christopher, Craig and Jamie; and many nieces and nephews. Visiting hours will be held at 10:00 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 13. Funeral services will be held one hour later, at 11:00 a.m., in Spears Funeral Home, 96 Dickinson Ave., Enosburg Falls. Burial will take place in the spring in Hillside Cemetery in Richford. Donations may be made to the Alzheimer's Association, P.O. Box 1139, Montpelier, VT 05601. The family would like to extend special thanks to the staff at Birchwood Terrace for the wonderful care and love they gave to Phyllis the last years of her life.
