Eleanor L. Ahlers
Eleanor Louise Ahlers, 96, of Morrisville, died peacefully on January 15, 2026, at Copley Hospital in Morrisville, surrounded by family.
She was born August 15, 1929, in Townsend, Massachusetts; one of three children born to the late Edward A. and Florence (Dauphinais) Lancey. She also had a second sister from her mother’s second marriage. Eleanor attended Townsend schools and received her general educational development (GED) degree in Morrisville.
In June of 1949, she married Kenneth Raymond, and they had six children together.
As a young mother, Eleanor attended Johnson State Teacher’s College. She graduated in the class of 1965 and accepted a second grade teaching position in Barton, where she was a dedicated teacher until she retired from her full-time position in 1977.
In 1978, she married Eugene Ahlers in Athol, Massachusetts. He died in 2001, and in 2003, Eleanor returned to Vermont to be near her children, making her home in Hyde Park and later in Morrisville.
Eleanor never truly retired — she simply found new ways to stay busy and useful, prioritizing lifelong learning, adventure, and care for her family and community. She served as a substitute teacher and loving caregiver to several of her grandchildren for many years. She expressed care through cooking for family, friends, neighbors, and church members throughout her life. In addition to being a talented seamstress, she also enjoyed puzzles, gardening, creative writing, dancing, and watercolor painting. She satisfied her “gypsy feet” with travels stateside to Maine and Florida, and across the ocean to Spain, Aruba, Italy, Austria, Greece, and Turkey, always accompanied by a daughter or granddaughter.
Survivors include: three daughters Linda Harriman and her husband, Gary, of Enosburg Falls, Hope Sturtevant and her husband, Lee, of Morrisville, and Robin Rollins and her husband, Michael, of Laconia, New Hampshire; eleven grandchildren: Jennifer Williams, Jessica Harriman, Ashley Harriman, Juli-An Placek, Denise Eagan, Rae Marie Paranto, Lance Richard, Katherine Robertson, Patrick Raymond, Jeremy Raymond, and Benji (Sarah) Raymond; many great-grandchildren; two great-great grandchildren; and nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, sisters Florence Laughton and Claudette Esposito, brother Roger Lancey, and husband, Eugene, Eleanor was predeceased by three sons: Paul (Stephen), George, and Randall Raymond.
A time of visitation will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, January 24, at the United Methodist Church in Wolcott, immediately followed by a funeral service at 2 p.m. with Pastor Pat Thompson officiating. As Eleanor always wore pink, please join in wearing something pink for the services. Refreshments and fellowship will follow in the church dining hall.
Eleanor’s family would like to extend a very special thank-you to the Lamoille Neighbors, especially Kevin Bracie and Beth Springsten, and Home Health and Hospice. Additional thanks to the extraordinary palliative care team at Copley Hospital who eased Eleanor’s way as well as caring for the family professionally and most of all, compassionately.
In lieu of flowers, contributions in her memory may be made to Morristown Centennial Library, P.O. Box 727, Morrisville, Vermont 05661 or to the Lanpher Memorial Library, P.O Box 196, Hyde Park, Vermont 05655.

Mary Louise “Mary Lou” Cummings
Mary Louise “Mary Lou” Cummings, born May 28, 1936, died on January 10 at the age of 89. Kind at her core and guided by a profound sense of responsibility for others, Mary Lou lived a life defined by resilience, service, sharp intelligence, and deep love for her family.
Mary Lou earned her bachelor of arts degree from the Fordham University School of Education and later attended John Carroll University and Georgetown University to pursue postgraduate education.
Mary Lou grew up in the Bay Ridge neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, alongside her younger siblings Sue and Bill. She often spoke fondly of Bay Ridge, describing it as a small town within New York City, a close-knit community shaped by diverse immigrant families. That upbringing shaped Mary Lou’s lifelong ability to connect easily and genuinely with people from all walks of life.
She married James John Cummings in Carmel, California, on December 22, 1959, at the age of 23. Together, Mary Lou and Jim raised six children. Jim’s job with the FBI took them through a series of moves from California to Florida, New York, Puerto Rico, Virginia, and Vermont. With each relocation, Mary Lou was the steady force that kept her family protected and together. Tough, capable, and endlessly resourceful, she navigated it all. From car breakdowns in the summer heat with children in the backseat, frequent moves and new schools, to watching each of her six children eventually leave home for college or the military, Mary Lou took everything in stride, carrying with her a deep gratitude for all that life had to offer.
Those who knew Mary Lou, knew she put kids first. She was a master of meal planning, always ready to feed not just her own children but also the many friends they brought home. Together, Mary Lou and Jim created a home filled with warmth, good food, and an open door.
Mary Lou dedicated nearly 20 years to public service with the Central Intelligence Agency. Integrity and dedication were not just job requirements, but personal strengths she carried naturally throughout her life. In a running joke between the couple — Jim, who worked for the FBI and freely shared details of his day — would complain that Mary Lou never told him a word about what she did at the CIA. The only clue Jim had was Mary Lou’s steadfast discretion and subtle smile that told him everything he needed to know, and nothing at all.
Equally committed to her community, Mary Lou spent much of her retirement volunteering as a Guardian ad Litem in northeastern Vermont, advocating for children in child abuse and neglect cases. It was work she took seriously and personally, guided by a strong sense of justice and an even stronger heart.
Mary Lou loved her McLean Hamlet, Northeast Kingdom, and Vinson Hall communities. She loved playing bridge and could often be found around a bridge table, cards in hand, her mind sharp and competitive. Mary Lou was also a humble but gifted painter and enjoyed staying physically active. When others remarked at how great she looked for her age, Mary Lou always credited her strength and physical fitness to the many years of snow shoveling in Vermont. While in Vermont, Mary Lou was known to host large family dinners where food, laughter, and spirited conversation filled the room. Nothing brought her more joy than time spent with her grandchildren, whom she loved deeply.
Those who knew Mary Lou well appreciated her understated humor. Mary Lou had a gift for the perfectly timed observation that would make you laugh hours later when you finally caught on. She will be remembered as a woman who showed up, befriended all, and handled whatever life threw at her.
In true Mary Lou fashion, she leaves behind a legacy of courage, service, and family — proof that kindness and strength are not mutually exclusive.
Mary Lou is survived by her brother William (Bill) Starkey, and by her six children: John Cummings (Lisa Mezzacapo Cummings), Lucy Cummings Wilson (Scott Wilson), James Cummings (Cecilia Sabatés), Timothy Cummings (Kristin Temple), Megan Kratz (Matthew Kratz), and Mary Kathryn Cummings (Andréa Chávez). She is also survived by her nine grandchildren: Hannah Cummings Wilson, James John “JJ” Cummings, Maya Cummings Wilson, Javier Alonso, Joseph William Kratz, Enrique Alonso, Peter James Kratz, Dylan William Cummings, and Ella Wells Cummings.
Mary Lou is predeceased by her husband, James John Cummings, to whom she was married for 41 years. She was also predeceased by her sister Susan Monahan.
Family and friends are invited to celebrate her life and join in prayer. There will be a funeral mass on Saturday, January 24, at 10 a.m., Vinson Hall, 6251 Old Dominion Drive, McLean, Virginia 22101. A second service will be held in Vermont on Saturday, August 1. Details will be shared with family and friends as the date approaches.
Donald Roger Fournier
Donald Roger Fournier, 64, of Copake, New York, died peacefully on January 10, 2026, surrounded by his family after a brief illness.
Born June 16, 1961, in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, he was the third of five children of the late Leonard and Irene Fournier. Donald was a gifted carpenter who noticed what others missed, believing that the smallest details were what made something truly well made. Known for his remarkable skill and meticulous eye, he poured care and quiet artistry into everything he built. Beyond his passion for carpentry, Donald loved the outdoors and animals — especially the cats he adopted throughout the years.
On June 27, 1987, Donald married the love of his life, Gail (Poirier) Fournier, and together they made their home in Copake. Their two children: Ashley (Fridrik) Kristjansson of Hillsdale, New York, and Michael (Melissa) Fournier of Copake Falls, New York, each gave him a cherished new title — Papa. He was proud of his three beautiful granddaughters: Kaitlyn, Ellie, and Rylie, who will forever miss his smile, laughter, and love.
In addition to his wife and children, Donald is survived by his sister Anita Kosnik-Fournier, and brothers Rene and Ronald Fournier; his mother-in-law, Viola Poirier; two nieces, and two nephews. He was predeceased by his brother George.

Timothy A. Hamblett
Timothy A. Hamblett died peacefully at home on January 14, 2026, of complications from Familial Pulmonary Fibrosis. He was born on July 17, 1943, to Tarlton and Jessie Hamblett. His father died from the same disease. He was married to Beverly Belway Hamblett in 1968, who survives him.

He is also survived by his brother Michael (Jackie). He was predeceased by his parents and brother Ralph (Rick).
Tim was a graduate of Rider University and was a veteran of the United States Army serving in Vietnam in 1967-1968. He met his wife, Beverly, after graduation from Rider, and they were married after his return from Vietnam. They moved to Burlington for Beverly to complete her degree in education from the University of Vermont. Tim went into a management training program with the Aetna Insurance company in Burlington. After Bev graduated, they returned to Newport and Tim joined the Associated Insurance Agency. He joined the family business in 1975 and under the R.F. Hamblett Inc. umbrella, the Pick & Shovel was started. Tim and his cousin Douglas continued the Pick & Shovel, and it is today actively run by Chris and Greg. Beverly retired from teaching and established the clothing and footwear department at the store before retiring for the second time.
Tim had a small mini farm and raised many animals, including a small herd of miniature donkeys. He enjoyed boating, snowmobiling, and with Bev as passenger, his Harley motorcycle. They enjoyed several long trips on the Harley with trips down the Pacific Coast Highway, Death Valley, Mt. St. Helens, and Yellowstone. He, for several years, flew a powered parachute and could be seen in the sky above Newport.
At Tim’s request there will be no services. A celebration of life will be held at the convenience of the family.
Online condolences may be made at Curtis-Britch.com. Anyone wishing may make a donation to Goodrich Memorial Library in Tim’s memory.
Doris “Penny” Hurlbert
Doris “Penny” Hurlbert, of Danville and formerly of North Troy, died peacefully at home on January 6, 2026, surrounded by her loving family.
Penny was born on September 23, 1947, to Robert and Louise Wetherell. She dedicated more than 30 years of her life to nursing, working proudly in nursing homes where she formed lasting bonds with both residents and staff. She especially enjoyed returning to visit and see the nurses she had trained over the years.
Outside of her work, Penny lived a life full of curiosity, creativity, and adventure. She loved riding her Spyder, snowmobiling, and sneaking down back to the river to fish. As many knew, Penny had an unwavering passion for hunting four-leaf clovers — collecting what the family believes to be around 4,000 in a single summer.
She spent cherished time at horse pulls, which she fondly referred to as her second family. Penny also treasured her close friendship with Margo Hanson, sharing endless conversations and memorable adventures — often leading them to China Moon and Walmart.
A gifted local artist, Penny could spend hours gazing at a blank canvas until inspiration struck, transforming it into an incredible work of art. She took great pride in knowing that her paintings found homes across numerous states and countries.
Penny is survived by her children: Renea, Scott, and Mike with his wife, Melissa; her ten grandchildren: Candace, Tim, Chris, Jesse, Angel, Samantha, Kaleb, Skye, Michaela, and Levi; and her eleven great-grandchildren: Hayley, Cameron, Benjamin, Devin, Allison, Gavin, Zoe, Colton, Sofia, Laine, and Waylon. She also leaves behind her sisters Bunny Bickford and husband, Bruce, and June Griswald and husband, Gary, as well as her special sister-in-law Theresa Wetherell.
She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Jerry; her parents; and her brothers Ralph “Bo” Allard and Malcolm “Dovey” Wetherell, the latter also being her lifelong best friend.
The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to Home Health and Hospice — especially Nurse Jen — as well as Katie Burnell at the Danville Health Center and Sabrina, all of whom helped make it possible for Penny to be cared for at home.
Per Penny’s request there will be no services. A celebration of life will be planned for early summer.

Duane Prue
Duane Louis Prue died on January 13, 2026, at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. Duane was born on February 12, 1957, in Newport. He leaves behind his loving wife of 40 years, Marilyn Perron Prue. Duane attended Lake Region Union High school. Duane lived in Barton all his life, near the home he grew up in.
Duane was predeceased by his parents, Reginald and Lena Prue, his mother- and father-in-law, Armand and Barbara Perron, special nephew Joel Bruce Perron, and his dog Queenie, who saved his life many years ago.
He leaves behind his sisters: Marie Coons and husband, Norman, and Karen Allen; his brothers Regionald Prue and wife, Pam, Louis Prue, and Tim Duffy; his in-laws: Judy and Doug Conley, Doris Perron, and Bruce and Laurie Perron. He also leaves behind many nieces and nephews.
Duane and Marilyn had no children, however, the pets that they shared a life with were considered family.
Duane worked as an electrician for many years. He worked for Weldmann Electrical Technology and retired from Cabot Creamery in 2019. Duane was the handyman for many in the family.
In 2019 when his mother became very sick, you could find him at her place every day giving her love and support.
Duane made sure Marilyn was well taken care of always. Marilyn still works full-time and was able to do so as Duane took care of everything at home. Marilyn always had a safe, warm, loving home to come home to. When she came home, he would always say, “Is that my Woman?” and she would always answer, “Yes, always.”
Duane loved animals, playing cards, video games, hunting (in November he got an 8-point buck!), fishing, playing ice hockey, feeding the birds, and taking care of the lawn and yard. Duane was known for his laugh and joking around. He had no filter (good or bad) and you always knew what he was thinking.
For the last 45 years, Duane and Marilyn looked forward to perch fishing in the spring. Duane would dig the worms and they were off. Marilyn would put her worm on the hook but would not take the perch off the hook, help clean the fish or eat the fish. Duane was busy if the fish were biting.
Special thanks to his brother Reggie and Marilyn’s family and friends for all their support.
There will be no services.
Donations can be sent to Orleans Emergency Unit, 1 Memorial Square, Orleans, Vermont 05860.
Life is short, so go fishing in the spring! Please visit www.awrfh.com to share memories and condolences.
