• Shirley Crawford, 98, of Wilmington. Died on Sept. 14, 2024. Born on May 31, 1926, she was the daughter of the late Ruby (Griswold) and Hermon Parsons. On July 6, 1944, she married Leon Crawford and they were married for 50 years before his death. Shirley was a woman of great determination. As was the norm of her generation, she was unable to get her high school diploma. She later attended classes and received her GED while taking care of her family and helping on the farm. She worked with and beside her husband cutting firewood, haying fields, sugaring, and any other chore that needed to be done. She also cleaned homes up until her 80s. She loved to read books, papers, magazines, etc. Any article about someone she knew, or did not know, she would cut out and put in a scrapbook. She was very interested in the genealogy of her family and spent many hours doing research. She started painting in her later years and continued until her death, giving her paintings to family, friends, and many people who just stopped in. Her home was open to everyone, and once you entered, you were welcomed and fed. There was always enough for everyone. She prepared holiday meals never knowing how many people would be there, but always having enough food. She always enjoyed being home. In her later years, she preferred to be home until you asked about going to the casino. She could always be ready in 20 minutes. She went and enjoyed going to the casino right up to three weeks prior to her death. When asked if she won, she responded with a smile "I don't know, I can't remember how much I brought with me." She had a great love for her pets, especially her chickens, dogs, cats and, in her later years, her cats Bonnie and Clyde. Shirley is survived by her sons Herman "Scott" (Nancy), Alan (Suzanne), Rodney (Candy), Roger (Cheri), and her beloved daughter Charlotte (Gary) Birch. She was affectionately known as "Gramma Chickens" to grandchildren Tonya, Todd, Ryan "Boe," Katie, Jason, Ann-lyn, Crystal, Kristy, Matthew, Kevin, Lisa, James, and Shelly Lynn, She is also survived by 24 great-grandchildren and 16 great-great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.

• Carrol Dominic Havreluk Sr., 91, of Brooksville, Florida, formerly of Jacksonville, Vermont. Died Sept. 6, 2024, surrounded by his loving wife and family. He was born in Readsboro to Moisey and Anna (Januska) Havreluk on March 13, 1933. He served in the Marine Corps from 1953 to 1956 during the Korean War as a battalion office chief clerk, followed by seven years in the Marine Reserve. Carrol married the love of his life, Reita Lee Tanner, on Aug. 6, 1955, in Brattleboro; they had just celebrated their 69th wedding anniversary in August with all their children. They moved to Jacksonville in 1960 when they purchased the No. 3 schoolhouse at an auction, on Gates Pond Road. They turned the one room schoolhouse into a six-bedroom home for their family, raising five children. He always wanted horses so, eventually they leased a field that was next to their property that became a field for horses that came and went over the years. Carrol didn't have a favorite job, he just plain loved driving, especially trucks, something he did well until he was 85. He was a truck driver of his own log trucks, "Havreluk Trucking," in between driving for numerous other companies hauling wood, gas, logs, asphalt, and more. He worked for the Readsboro Electric Light Company and New England Power, digging holes and was a utility mechanic. He loved driving cross country for, or with. anyone. He drove for Denver Southwest Express hauling wine, oranges, and meat, occasionally bringing some extra home. He worked for the Town of Whitingham for 11 years. He retired in May 1998, and immediately drove his motor home to Alaska to spend a summer with his daughter and family. When he returned, he worked for many local businesses as a truck driver. When Tropical Storm Irene devastated the area in 2011, he started working for Wayne Corse at Corse Excavating driving a dump truck to get the roads back open and then continued to work for Wayne in the summers. Wayne and Jen offered their house in Florida for a couple weeks in the winter of 1998 until the house across the street became available. Then they would go down for the entire winter until the past couple years when they became Florida residents in 2019. He loved the great outdoors any time of year, whether he was ice fishing with whomever would be out there or hunting in Somerset with his son and friends. He even went hunting in Alaska in the bush where his daughter Chris and son in-law Matt have a cabin. Once, he got stranded for a couple days because of a snowstorm that dropped about 3 feet of snow. He made a makeshift plow shovel to clear the runway, which took a couple days to get it clear enough to fly out. Maine was a favorite summer spot, staying in York Beach at their favorite campground, the York Beach Camper Park where he was a member of the "Ooba Gooba Club." They met lots of people who became friends over the years. Other summertime favorites were spending time at "The Pond" with his extended family. In the winter, skiing was another favorite pastime, mostly at Hogback Mountain until it closed in 1986. He was active in the Catholic Church, the Knights of Columbus, the American Legion, the Lions Club, and the Couples Club. His other passions included word search games and crossword puzzles. He had numerous surgeries that gave him some serious hardware, he had new knees twice because he wore the first ones out. His femur had a plate with 18 screws, that also needed to be replaced. He could have used a new shoulder but didn't want to be laid up. For the last year of his life, all his children made sure Carrol and Reita were constantly cared for. Beside his wife of 69 years, Carrol is survived by daughters Christina (Mat) Worker of Alaska, Nancy (Pete) Wimmelman, Michelle (John) Knapp, and Lori (Ben) Longo of Vermont, and son Carrol (Gretchen) Havreluk Jr. of Vermont.

• Addison Dean Minott Sr., 94, of Guilford. Died with his family by his side at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire, on Sept. 1, 2024. Addison was born on March 26, 1930, in Montpelier, Vermont to Dr. Chauncey Hunt and Dorothy Flora (Badger) Minott. He spent his early years in Montpelier and then, in 1944, his family moved to Brattleboro. Addison graduated from Brattleboro High School in 1948 and Norwich University, graduating with a B.S. in civil engineering in 1952 as a Distinguished Military Graduate. Addison married Adelaide Warner of Guilford on Sept. 5, 1953 in Essex, Connecticut. They met at a square dance at the Grange in Guilford Center. They would have celebrated their 71st anniversary this month. Addison had a memorable history on the ski slopes. He started as a little boy skiing on pine skis with a jar rubber behind the heel at his grandfather's house on Elm Street and Hubbard Park in Montpelier. When he moved to Brattleboro, he purchased a new pair of downhill skis with steel edges and rear steel spring cable bindings, and a former world class jumper gave him a used pair of jumping skis. At that time, Brattleboro High School had no organized ski team, so he joined the Brattleboro Outing Club which sponsored him with racing and ski jumping. Addison became a member of the Outing Club Junior Jumping Team, competing in events all over the Northeast. He started jumping at Harris Hill in 1947. His mother refused to attend the jumps out of fear of seeing him hurt. Addison said his only injury was a broken nose from over-jumping the hill. Although he loved the thrill of ski jumping, he was especially skilled in the alpine events, particularly slalom. Addison won the BOC Skimeister Four Event Trophy three years in a row and was invited to the New England Junior Championships, winning the event in 1948, (then not medaling when it was determined he was over age by a few weeks), then asked to represent Vermont at the National Junior Championships in Boise, Idaho. Much to everyone's disappointment, BHS turned down his request for absence from school. Pressure was applied by the BOC board of directors and friends of skiing in the area, to no avail. Addison continued skiing for the Norwich varsity ski team competing in collegiate alpine and nordic events serving as captain for his senior year and earning a Class A Eastern Amateur Ski Association rating. He also participated in mountain and winter warfare exercises as a cadet. Just prior to the 1952 Olympic tryouts at Mt. Mansfield, he tore his achilles tendon. After graduation, he received his Reserve Commission from General Omar Bradley as a second lieutenant in the Army Reserve. Soon after. he reported to active duty at Fort Belvoir, Virginia for the Advanced Engineer Officer Course and, after graduation, he was ordered to the Corps of Engineers, Northeast District, in New York City. Addison was assigned to work on snow mechanics for the construction of the Strategic Air Command base in Thule, Greenland. Project "Dogsled" was to determine the feasibility of constructing roads and radar stations on the icecap. Addison supervised airdrops from C-119 "Flying Boxcars" transport planes to construct two radar bases on the icecap. He survived multiple close calls from flying in whiteout storms, emergency landings and helicopter rescues at high elevation with temperatures regularly 20-below-zero. One particular storm prevented him leaving, causing him to postpone his wedding, for which he often apologized to Addie. In 1954, he received his "Blue Nose Certificate" for serving north of the Arctic Circle at the rank of first lieutenant and transferred into the Army Reserve. While serving with the Ready Reserve Unit, Addison worked as project engineer for numerous construction projects which included construction of bridges and paving on the Maine and Massachusetts Turnpikes and Interstate 91. While serving with the Corps of Engineers in Springfield, Massachusetts, he was involved in the construction of several flood control dams and flood damage rehabilitation. In 1980, Addison retired from the Army Reserve at the rank of major. In his civilian career, Addison worked for Dufresne & Henry Engineering as chief design engineer. Later, with the Cersosimo family, they founded Southern Vermont Engineering in Brattleboro. He retired as its general manager in 1987. Addison served on the Vermont Board of Land Surveyors and held License No. 2 from the Vermont Society of Surveyors. Retirement meant time to travel to Florida for warmer weather in winter and multiple trips west to fly fish in Montana, Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado, and visits with a cousin in Lake Tahoe. About this time, he and Addie were bitten by the "genealogy bug" and became historians, especially for Vermont history. Addison was a proud eighth-generation Vermonter, starting with Deacon Samuel Minott at Fort Hill in Putney. While Addison served on the board of directors for the Vermont Historical Society, he and Addie helped manage and organize the Vermont History Expo in Tunbridge. For 10 years, they made sure the flyers went to every town, camped out next to the fairgrounds, and supervised the tents and exhibit halls until the Historical Society no longer held the Expo. They maintained ties and memberships with many of the state's Historical Societies. Later years were spent on the farm in Green River, where Addie grew up, sugaring, maintaining large gardens, heating with wood, mowing, and taking loving care of the family property. Addison and Addie were involved in the founding of the Green River Village Preservation Trust. Addison spearheaded the construction of the fish-way and put his engineering skills to good use maintaining the historic crib dam. They treasured their Green River neighbors and friends of many years. Addison was a devoted husband to Addie, who predeceased him in May 2023. Addison is survived by his four children, Celia Adelaide Minott Slason and her husband Lawrence of Keene, New Hampshire, Priscilla Hunt Minott Demovellan and her husband Lorenzo of Westwood, Massachusetts, Addison Dean Minott, Jr. and his wife Marcia of North Andover, Massachusetts, and Christopher Milne Minott and his wife Karrin of Washington, D.C. He is also survived by 11 grandchildren; Jonathan Slason (Sara Lovitz), Laura Dobens (Brett), Jennifer Sestito (Nick), John Eric Demovellan (Kayla Ochoa), Christa Bentley (Austin), Katelynn Minott (Rodolfo Sanchez), Meagan Kobierski (Kyle), Addison Paul Minott (Christine), Angela Pierce (Kenneth), and Calvin and Adelaide Minott; 15 great-grandchildren; Ezekiel and Gabriel Lovitz-Slason, Fletcher and Marguerite Dobens, Lyla Sestito, Nicolas, Ana Sofia, and Olivia Sanchez-Minott, Emma, Ellie, Annabel and Isla Kobierski, Pearl, Addison Basil, and Chauncey Minott.
