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.

For those who wish, contributions in Jeffrey's name may be made to the Cold Hollow Career Center FFA, Forestry Program, P.O. Box 530, Enosburg Falls, VT 05450.

Obituary  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 August 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 is survived by 27 grandchildren, 49 great grandchildren, and 6 great-great grandchildren. She is also survived by her sisters-in-law Alice Pion, Denise Bilodeau Couture, Huguette Huot Couture, and her brother-in-law Marc Ghaddar. Also survived by many nieces and nephews.

Theresa was predeceased by her parents, her husband, and infant granddaughter Holly Couture. She was also predeceased by her brothers and sisters and their spouses: Paul (Joyce) Pion, Bernadette Chamberland, Mary (Norman) Turgeon, and Norman Pion. Also predeceased by in-laws: Jeanne d'Arc (Philippe) Piché, Rock Couture, Lucienne (Lucien) Dagenais, Therese (Marcel) Maheu, Claire-Mance Brodeur, Lise Ghaddar, and Charles Couture.

Eugene lived a long life marked by hard work, strong values, and a deep connection to his family.

Eugene had many hobbies throughout his life. In his younger days, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, and four-wheeling. He had a natural talent for fixing things, always able to figure out how to make something work again. He also enjoyed tinkering on projects, spending time with his family, listening to older country music, and watching westerns, which brought him comfort in his later years.

He will be remembered as a man who was stubborn, funny, and deeply caring. Eugene spoke his mind and was never afraid to say what he thought, a trait that made him both memorable and loved by those who knew him best.

He is survived by his daughters, Dolida Kennison, Marena, and husband, Ken Mead; Della and husband, Ricky Hall; and Sabrena and husband, Bill Ducharme.
