ObituaryJun 10, 2026  OBITUARY: FRANKLIN/MONTGOMERY - Jeffrey Charles Messier, age 66, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, June 9, 2026 at the Northwestern Medical Center in St. Albans.

Jeffrey was born on February 13, 1960 to James F. Messier and the late Sylvia (Benjamin) Messier at Kerbs Memorial Hospital. He was a member of the Franklin United Church.

Jeffrey grew up on a dairy farm in Franklin. During high school, he donated a kidney to save his mother's life. He developed a passion for forestry after enrolling in Ross Morgan's forestry class in the MVU agriculture program. He earned a Vermont FFA proficiency award in forestry. As part of his training he had a work placement in his grandfather's sawmill, Olin Benjamin. Jeffrey operated the sawmill after his grandfather passed. Later, he spent time as a self-employed woodsman and also worked with Wilson Lumber.

Jeffrey was a respected logger and woodsman. When cutting logs and firewood, he always followed accepted practices and would "leave that tree" if it served as a habitat for birds or other wildlife. He was well known as a man who could cut and split a cord of wood in one hour.

Jeffrey is survived by his father, James Messier and his wife Ronna. He was predeceased by his mother, Sylvia Benjamin Messier; his brothers, Michael James Messier, David Olin Messier, and Daniel Thomas "Boone" Messier; and his long-time companion, Sandy Banks.

Jeffrey's family would like to thank his friends, Jeff Goyne, the Lumbra family (especially Penny), Robert and Dennice Perry, Will Moses, and other friends that have helped Jeffrey over the years.

According to Jeffrey's wishes, there will be no memorial services. Jeffrey will be laid to rest with his mother and brothers in the East Franklin Cemetery.

ObituaryMay 10, 2026  OBITUARY: Theresa Couture, 97, of Westfield, VT, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on May 9, 2026, at Michaud Memorial Manor in Derby Line, VT. She was born on July 17, 1928, on Buck Hill in Westfield to Joseph and Rose Anna (Lachapelle) Pion. She spent her childhood years and the early part of her adult life living on Buck Hill, a section of Westfield that has remained dear to her heart all her life. She attended a one-room schoolhouse on Buck Hill for grades 1 through 8. She later obtained her GED through the Adult Learning Center.

On Aug. 23, 1948, Theresa married Jean Paul Couture who had come to Westfield from Quebec to work on a farm. After they were married, they moved to Quebec to work on Jean Paul’s family farm. Two years later they bought Theresa’s family farm and moved back to Buck Hill. A few years after that they bought a farm on the main road in Westfield to be on the school bus route as the children were approaching high school age. Even though they moved off Buck Hill, they kept a piece of land up there to build a camp with a pond. As the kids grew up, many Sundays were spent at the camp with lots of family and friends.

Theresa was a member of Sacred Heart Parish in Troy, and was an Associate to the Daughters of the Charity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. She belonged to the Ladies of St. Andre Bessette Parish, a group with whom she spent many years making quilts for fundraising raffles for the church. She taught sewing classes for the UVM Extension Homemaker Clubs and was a member of the Happy Valley Homemakers Club. She was an amazing seamstress. Over the years she made countless bridal gowns and bridal party dresses. Theresa loved gardening, growing an abundance of vegetables to feed her family with plenty to share. She took great pride in her beautiful flowers that surrounded their home. Above all, Theresa loved being surrounded by her family. She loved to have big family dinners. Walking into her kitchen you were met with the wonderful aroma of whatever she was cooking, which was always more than enough to feed the crowd. She cherished every visit, phone call, or message from family and friends. Until her poor vision made it impossible, she kept tabs on her grandkids with her iPad, watching for and responding to their messages and Facebook posts.

Theresa is survived by her children: Sr. Monique Couture, FCSCJ, Jacques (Pauline) Couture, Jean (Kathy) Couture, Michel (Terry) Couture, Andre (Raelene) Couture, Suzanne (Larry) Kennison, Denise (Bob) Currier, Louise (Brian) Bonvechio, and Ann (Greg) Starr.

She was born in St. Albans on May 15, 1950 to the late Robert & Phyllis (King) Waterhouse.

Carey lived a life marked by resilience, determination, and an unwavering spirit. She was a proud graduate of Richford High School, Class of 1968, and dedicated herself to hard work throughout her life. Her professional journey included valued roles at the Dairy Center, Hockey Stick Factory, Cheese Plant, Bum Wraps, and the American Legion. However, her most cherished role was as the owner/operator of Carey's Diner in Swanton, where she shared not only meals but a warmth that brought the community together.

Carey found joy in the simple pleasures of life. When her health permitted, she loved to fish on the Trout River and lend her enthusiastic support to her sons, Michael and Robbie, helping to coach their baseball teams with passion and commitment. Despite the challenges posed by her diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, she faced her health struggles with grace and strength, never once complaining about the hand she was dealt.

A lover of games and chance, Carey enjoyed gambling and was often found playing Bingo or cards-whether it was Tuck, 500, or her favorite online games, where she forged deep friendships. She had a flair for sweepstakes, often entering with hope, and delighting in the occasional win.

Madeline was known for her welcoming nature and her passion for cooking. She often gathered family and friends around the table, sharing delicious meals and creating cherished memories, inviting family and friends to gather at her pool for joyous celebrations. She took great pride in attending her granddaughter Amber's softball games, always cheering her on from the sidelines. Her love for housework was evident in the care she took in her home, which stood as a testament to her nurturing spirit. Family members would often joke with Madeline by saying, "If you want to make Madeline feel better, hand her a broom!".

In addition to her parents, Madeline was predeceased by her husband, Winfield Bressette; siblings, Ruth Rentz, Pearl Wilson, Ralph Beyor, Carlton Beyor, Marshall Beyor, Marion Brooks, Robert Beyor, Lillian Hakey, Rita Benjamin, and Marie Bell.

In respecting Madeline's wishes, services will be held privately.

Born on May 21, 1935, in Jay, Vermont to George Mayhew and Zelia (Lague) Mayhew, Violette lived a life marked by dedication and faith.

She was a sister, mother, and a supportive presence to all who were blessed to cross her path. She now rejoins in the Kingdom of Heaven her beloved husband Arthur Verge Jr., her son Arthur Verge III, her sisters Muriel Flood and Ozilda Pouliot, and her brothers Ernest, Gilbert, and Maurice Mayhew.
