Martha Jean Burton
Martha Jean Burton, 75, of Orleans, died peacefully in her sleep at St. Albans Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center on June 30, 2024. Special thanks go out to this facility for all of the kindness and compassion shown to Martha during her stay. She spoke of them all fondly.
Martha was born in Newport on May 27, 1949, to Rachel (Poutre) and Percy Sylvester. She repeatedly reminisced of a wonderful childhood living on Water Street. She attended Orleans graded school and graduated from Sacred Heart High School. She received her LPN nursing degree and spent most of her adult years in the Lebanon and Hanover, New Hampshire, area working in private health care.
Martha married Stephen Burton in 1971 and was married to him for 50 years. Stephen predeceased her in October of 2021. Martha missed him terribly. Martha was an avid crafter. Her and Steve spent many hours crafting wooden projects together. Martha’s greatest talent was her beautiful counted-cross stitching works of art. She created masterpieces. She also enjoyed genealogy. She and Steve traveled far and wide visiting family and gathering information on the Poutre and Sylvester clans. She assembled many scrapbooks full of pictures, history and family trees.
Martha traveled religiously for many years every week from Hanover to spend two days a week with Rachel up until her passing in 2010. They enjoyed being together, baking, Dollar Store outings, and trips to the Ames craft department. Martha and Steve then moved back to the family home on Water Street and loved living there amongst lifelong and much-loved neighbors and friends. Most special was her lifelong best friend Mary Wood and her husband, Ed, and David and Diane Royer.
Martha Jean was much loved by her friends and family. She was always kind and caring. She and Steve were always joking and making people laugh.
It was always exciting times when aunt Martha and uncle Steve came to town. Traditions with their niece Belynda Lussier, the author of this obituary, made with her during her childhood continued into her children’s lives, too. Barton Fair visits were every year for 20-plus years!
She was very special to Belynda. It was an honor and privilege to care for Martha the last four years of her life, as her health slowly declined. Martha always wore a smile, never complained once, even though Belynda knew she was hurting. They enjoyed each other’s company while out shopping, attending appointments, going to lunch, or just out for a drive around scenic Vermont looking for a new ice cream shop. They were always giggling and their times spent together were fun. Before Belynda left Martha to go home, she would always hug and kiss her and tell her she loved her. She would always reply “I love you more,” which brought a back and forth of who loved who more! They always agreed they loved each other equally and called it even.
So, Martha, rest in peace with Uncle and Grammy, and I’ll end with the final go around… ”I love you more.”
A small memorial will be planned later this fall.
Martha cared deeply about donating to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and always sent them something several times a year. She expressed to Belynda before she started to decline that she would like to donate to them upon her passing. If interested, on Martha’s behalf, send the hospital a donation in remembrance of Martha.
Andre “Andy” Harold Baraw
Andre “Andy” Harold Baraw, 63, of Maryville, Tennessee, formerly of Derby, continued on his journey to eternal rest and died on July 10, 2024, after a courageous battle with cancer.
Andy was born on August 3, 1960, in Vernon, Connecticut, to Harold William Baraw Jr. and Darlene (Colt) Baraw. He grew up in Coventry, Connecticut, and spent his childhood summers at the family camp in Derby on Salem Lake, where he and his four siblings enjoyed many adventures together swimming, boating, and fishing, to name just a few. Andy was an avid fisherman for most of his life and spent many hours fishing after work on Salem and Little Salem Lake in Derby. He served in the U.S. Navy from August 1977 until his honorable discharge in August 1981. While in the Navy, he served on the USS Richmond K. Turner as a machinist. He traveled to many foreign lands, including Spain, Italy, Yugoslavia, and Romania.
Andy moved to Glover in 1992 and worked at Sel Bar weaving and drilled wells for Green Mountain Drill Company out of Putney. In 1997, he joined North Country Engineering in Derby as a machinist and was employed there for 22 years until leaving to move to Maryville in 2019. In Tennessee, he worked for XTreme Tower Products as a machinist until his ill health forced him to retire in April 2024.
In 1997, he met the love of his life, Tracey (Baker) Baraw, and they were married in Coventry on October 9, 1999, and made their home in Derby for 21 years. Together they raised two wonderful daughters: Devon James and her husband, Randy, of North Fort Myers, Florida, and Hannah R. Baraw of Maryville.
After having raised their girls and many wonderful years spent in Vermont, Tracey and Andy decided to move to east Tennessee to start an “early” retirement of sorts in a warmer climate with more time to travel and visit family in Florida and time exploring the southern states which included Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Kentucky, Ohio, and North Carolina. East Tennessee and the Smoky Mountains were very good for their wayfaring souls.
On their journey in life, Andy and Tracey also enjoyed many walks and talks together, time boating, fishing, and catching sunsets on Lake Memphremagog. They traveled many miles across the country together including numerous family trips to the beaches of Maine and Florida, lots of camping and four-wheeling in northern New Hampshire, and a couple of different visits to the “Wild West” including Las Vegas, Nevada, Colorado, South Dakota, Utah, Yellowstone, and the grand Teton Mountains of Wyoming. Andy loved to travel near and far and especially enjoyed time spent with his family. He was a great cook and grilled the best burgers around. He was a gentle and kind soul, a loving and faithful husband, father, and grandfather. He never fussed much about anything and truly just enjoyed life and took things in stride, the good and the bad. He will be deeply missed by his loving wife, daughters and grandsons, family, and friends. They wouldn’t have missed it for the world!
Andy was predeceased by his father, Harold Baraw, and his brother Timothy Baraw.
He is survived by his wife of 24 years, Tracey Baraw, of Maryville; his mother, Darlene Baraw of Derby Line; his brothers: William and his wife, Laurie Baraw, of Coventry, Peter and his wife, Terry Baraw, of Spring Hill, Florida; and sister Bonnie Baraw and her husband, Rob, of Derby Line. Andy is also survived by mother-in-law, Gloria Baker. of Newport Center; sisters-in-law: Sally Baraw of Arlington, Texas, Anita Baraw of Margate, Florida, Heather and her husband, Randy Henderson, of Daytona Beach, Florida; brothers-in-law Frank Baker of Daytona Beach and Josh Baker of Newport Center; a special uncle: Dale Colt of West Lebanon, New Hampshire; by his grandchildren Kolby and Ryder James of North Fort Myers; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins. Andy is additionally survived by very special friends Dodi and Bob Hilliker of North Hero.
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” ~ Matthew 11:28-30
A celebration of life is planned for August 16 at the beach house on Salem Lake in Derby from 1:30 to 4 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Andy’s memory may be sent to Gentiva Hospice, RSV, 115 Allensville Road, Suite A, Sevierville, Tennessee 37876, or online at Gentiva Foundation (etapestry.com).
Mark Stuart Andrews
On June 7, 2024, Mark Stuart Andrews died, surrounded by his family, and they said goodbye to an extraordinary man.
Mark, born in Stamford, Connecticut, on October 2, 1954, to Joan Wells Kellogg and Chester Dean Andrews, died from complications of cancer, at the UVM Medical Center. He was 69 years old.
In his youth, he was a record-breaking runner and when he arrived in Vermont at age 16, his passion for speed materialized into skiing and motorcycling; owning over 20 different bikes throughout his riding career.
Married for 42 years, Mark met his life partner and best friend, Jenifer Bump, at Johnson State College in 1972. He also met some absolutely wonderful friends who provided love, laughter, and shenanigans all his life.
While living in the tightly knit community of West Bolton, Mark and Jenifer raised two extraordinary sons. Tucker, owner of Bone Mountain Farm (an organic vegetable farm in West Bolton) and Tyler, a senior environmental scientist in Missoula, Montana, who focuses on the stewardship of natural resources. Mark was an exemplary role model who instilled a dedicated work ethic as well as an honorable sense of values in his family. At home, Mark never stopped moving — whether it was splitting firewood, plowing snow, building additions and cabins, or helping neighbors and friends. When Mark became a grandfather, “Poppi’s” silly antics were unmatched.
Mark’s career began as a teacher of exceptional children. He then worked with adults at the Howard Center in Burlington. After attaining advanced degrees at UVM, he became a special education coordinator at Washington West, a vice principal at Camels Hump, and principal at Richmond Elementary in Chittenden East, a superintendent of schools at Orleans Southwest, and superintendent of schools in Essex Town. He made lasting connections with students, parents, staff, teachers, and administrators. His progressive approach, compassion, and wit allowed him to build commitment and community. His good works are a long-lasting legacy in the field of education.
Mark and Jenifer spent summers at camp on Shadow Lake in Glover for many years. There, they and their family have enjoyed both the friendship of many as well as the peace and calm that the lake provides.
He will always be loved as a husband, father, son, brother, grandfather, and teacher. He made an exceptional impact on all of them. He leaves his wife, Jenifer, of Jericho; his sons: Tucker and his wife, Kaelyn, and their two boys of West Bolton, and Tyler and his wife, Greta, and their two girls of Missoula; a brother Jeff and his wife, Kate, of Redding, Connecticut; sisters: Kim of Ledyard, Connecticut, and Susan Piotti and her husband, John, of Belfast, Maine; sister-in-law Sally Hannock of Coosaw Island, South Carolina; Craig Hendricks, his chum since boyhood; and many beloved nieces, nephews, and cousins.
In Mark’s memory, one may make a donation to the following organizations if they choose: Vermont Land Trust (donation online at www.vlt.org/donate or send a check to 8 Bailey Avenue, Montpelier, Vermont 05602 — put Mark Andrews in the memo) — Camp TaKumTa, a camp for children with cancer, at www.takumta.org (see ‘Make Donation’), or a charity of one’s choice.
Robert M. Alexander
Robert M. Alexander, 91, a longtime Craftsbury resident, died on June 6, 2024, at Copley Hospital in Morrisville of complications from a hip fracture a week before at The Manor assisted living home.
Robert “Bob” was born on March 18, 1933, in Irasburg, to Maynard and Doris Alexander. He was the fifth of six children, or as a customer of his father’s sawmill in town remarked: “Looks like you’ve got yourself a crew for the mill, Maynard.” Bob’s older brother Fred actually took over the mill after Maynard died in 1960. Doris lived another 27 years in the family house next to the Church on the Common, where she was the town librarian. Four of his siblings (Edward, Marjorie, Fred, and Janet) predeceased him, but younger sister Jean is still thriving down in Rutland.
After graded school in Irasburg, Bob went to high school in Orleans where he was a star (or so he said) of the baseball team, whose fight song he could sing on demand even in his last years at The Manor. But his adult life really started when he met his wife of 67 years, Roberta Spaulding, of Craftsbury, in the early 1950s, at Urie’s Pavilion dance hall on Shadow Lake in Glover, where he once locked her in a coat closet (briefly) to show off to his friends. But Roberta “Bobbie” knew he was from a good family and didn’t hold it against him (or as her husband would repeat over the years to his sons: “Your mother was very choosey, but she chose me!”)
Bob and Berta (his name for her) dated while he was attaining an engineering degree at Norwich University and she was at Green Mountain College in Poultney. They were married on September 10, 1955, at the church on Craftsbury Common, then headed west to Colorado, the Badlands of South Dakota, and to New Mexico, while he worked on the building of the interstate system for the Federal Highway Administration. His career path eventually led them back to New England, where their sons Peter and John were born in the early ’60s while living in Montpelier, before moving to Connecticut briefly while he attended Yale University, then Woburn, Massschusetts, and then finally back to Vermont, where he joined Engineers Incorporated with some fellow engineers in South Burlington.
In 1972, the family moved again to Concord, New Hampshire, where he became the assistant traffic engineer for the state, while Berta started a teaching career at Concord High School where she was State Teacher of the Year in 1981, an accomplishment that he spoke admiringly of for years afterwards. On nights and weekends, he built a wooden power boat from scratch in a shed behind the garage, which had its maiden voyage in the Atlantic in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, with no leaks, to the relief of everyone.
In 1988, Bob and Berta moved back to Vermont after their boys were on their own to help Berta’s parents, Jerry and Gladys, in their elder years in Craftsbury. Bob became a consulting engineer and Berta went into real estate. Bob eventually joined up with his old Engineers Incorporated buddy Ken Pinkam at his firm in Burlington, though the family was apprehensive about his hour plus commute each way. Never ostentatious with his own vehicles, he drove two Yugos in succession, until they disintegrated from wear.
Bob and Berta had several houses over the next 30 years, first on the common, then down the hill beside Lake Hosmer in Mill Village, where their last house, a cape, arrived on four flatbeds from Canada. They loved the lake life with their various cats and chocolate labs, sailing and paddleboating and watching the wildlife, especially the loons and migrating geese. The homemade boat lived upside down on the back lawn in disrepair, though Bob always said he was going to get to it. When pressed on the matter he would use one of his favorite phrases from work: “Maybe yes, maybe no, but don’t quote me.” The boat was the last item removed from the property when the couple had to move to the Craftsbury Community Care Center (4Cs) in 2019, a year before the pandemic.
In the fall of 2020, during COVID, the couple was separated for nine months after Roberta had to move to nursing at The Manor, but Bob was able to join her there in July of 2021 in the assisted living unit after the vaccines made it safe for everyone to get back together. With the purchase of a wheelchair van, the family could go to McDonald’s in Morrisville for the rest of that year along with drives back to Craftsbury and Irasburg, and even the favorite warm weather vacation spot — York Beach Maine — one last time, where Bob regaled his wife, sons, niece Jessica, and a caregiver Roberta, with his jokes and stories.
Roberta died the following year in July 2022, and Bob continued on for almost two years, watching the news on Channel three, reading the Burlington Free Press and all his books on WWII, and enjoying visits from his sons, especially his youngest John, who saw him twice a week without fail. When he turned 90, he denied it, saying his family was all wrong and he was actually 80, but they didn’t correct him. It was his highway of life, and the engineer is always correct.
An outdoor memorial service will be held Saturday, July 27, at 10 a.m. at the Craftsbury Village Cemetery with Pastor Kim Larose, followed by refreshments at the Church on the Common. Memorial contributions may be made to the Craftsbury Community Care Center (4Cs) by mail at 1784 East Craftsbury Road, Craftsbury, Vermont 05826. Online condolences may be made at curtis-britch.com.
