ObituaryDec 16, 2011  OBITUARY: Ruth Champagne, 90, died on December 14, 2011, in her home in Wesley Chapel, Florida, surrounded by her loving family.

She was born on March 24, 1921, in Irasburg, VT, where she enjoyed long walks and skipping stones.

In her early twenties, she moved to Newport, VT and married Henry Champagne Jr. who predeceased her in 2002.

Mrs. Champagne was an original founding member of the Veterans of Foreign War Post #798 Lady's Auxiliary.

She was such a talented and giving woman. She loved crocheting, sewing, square dancing and gardening. Her family is blessed with many hand-made items that will be passed on for generations. Even the sisters at Sacred Heart benefitted from her generosity, as she would bring them vegetables from her garden. She also worked at Slalom Ski Wear until she retired at age 65.

One of her favorite pastimes was playing bingo. This love of bingo has been passed down to her great-granddaughters. Another passion of hers was photography. She captured every important moment of her great-grandchildren's lives for 18 years. These scrapbooks are a wonderful gift that will last forever.

Words cannot express the footprint she has left on the hearts of those who were lucky enough to be loved by her.

Her family misses her terribly but take comfort knowing that she is certainly square dancing with our Lord.

She is survived by her only daughter Christine LeBlanc; by her son-in-law Gaston "Sonny" LeBlanc Jr. formerly of North Troy; by her two grandchildren: Todd LeBlanc and his wife, Keli, and Kimberlee LeBlanc Fowler and her husband, Timothy; and by three great-grandchildren: Kathryn LeBlanc, Kelsea Fowler and Abbey LeBlanc.

Internment will be held on April 27, 2012 at 1 p.m. at the Irasburg Cemetery. All who would like to attend are invited.
