Evelyn Kennison
With love family and friends honor the memory of Evelyn Kennison. Growing up on a dairy farm in West Glover, Evelyn attended Barton Academy and Johnson State College; where she earned her degree in education and went on to teach mathematics at North Country Union High School.
Although she retired after several years of teaching to be home with her two girls, Evelyn continued to tutor and teach part time at the local community college.
Her dedication to others was innate as she served on numerous boards including Irasburg PTC, library board, assistant town clerk, and was especially dedicated to her church. Evelyn was uplifted by her faith as she lifted up others serving as a deacon, Sunday school teacher, and a key member of the Ladies Aid and Church Fair committee. She was always willing to help whenever asked.
Even with her many town commitments, Evelyn’s greatest devotion was to her family. She married David Kennison on July 22, 1972, and was always by his side. Whatever David was doing Evelyn was not far behind. She could often be found splitting wood, filling the bird feeders and mowing the lawn on her Kubota tractor (which was another love of hers) and genuinely enjoyed working alongside him.
Together they raised two daughters, Susan and Denise and welcomed a son-in-law Matthew. They were blessed with four grandchildren: Jack, Sam, Luke, and Madalene.
After a heartbreaking diagnosis of cancer this fall, she died Friday, January 24, surrounded by family and love.
In addition to her immediate family, Evelyn is survived by her father, Donald King; her brothers: Wayne King and his wife, Denise, Dean King and his wife, Pat, and Greg King and his wife, Rhonda; her brothers Donald Andrews and his wife, Judy, and Donnie Kennison and his wife, Brenda; and her several nieces and nephews.
Evelyn was predeceased by her mother, Harriet King; her sister Donalie King; and her mother- and father-in-law Madalene and Dean Kennison.
Services will be held Saturday, February 1, at the Irasburg United Church at 11 a.m. Friends may call one hour before the service.
In lieu of flowers contributions in her memory can be made to:
Irasburg United Church, P.O. Box 177, Irasburg, Vermont 05845, or D-H/Geisel Office of Development Norris Cotton Cancer Center One Medical Center Drive, HB 7070, Lebanon, New Hampshire 03756-0001.

Grace Pauline Crane (nee Bates)
Grace Pauline Crane (nee Bates), 86, left this mortal coil when she died on Tuesday, January 7, 2020, after a sudden illness.
Grace was born May 18, 1933, in Madison, Wisconsin. She graduated from San Diego State University, and was a retired architect.
Grace led a long and adventurous life. She lived all over the world, could converse in several languages, was an accomplished wood carver, knitter, furniture builder, and in her later years developed a love of baking.
Grace was intensely curious, extremely intelligent, well-read, well-traveled, and a true polymath. She was extraordinarily generous, both with friends and family, as well as a general philanthropist. When she gave outside of family, she gave anonymously. She never wanted credit for helping others.
Grace’s old age was reason for increasing wisdom, not basking in past accomplishments or knowledge. She continued taking classes, practicing new skills, and learning new ways of doing things. She was accepting of others regardless of their faith, gender, orientation, race or creed; if you were a decent person, you were accepted.
Grace was predeceased by her husband, Howard Thomas Crane; and her grandson Charles Thomas Hudson.
She is survived by her son Randall Thomas Crane of Sarasota, Florida; her two daughters Rebecca Crane of Sarasota, Florida and Deborah Crane-Foote and son-in-law Kenneth Foote of Barton; her grandson Adrian Mullett of Austin, Texas; and her step grandson Brian Foote of Brooklyn, New York.
Services will be held at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Derby Line on Saturday, January 25, at 11 a.m. with Reverend Susan Lynn Johns officiating.
A reception following the service will be held in the fellowship hall. All are welcome
In lieu of flowers, please donate to the charity that speaks most to your heart.
