Pauline Pudvah Locke
Pauline Pudvah Locke, 77, died on Saturday, May 30, 2020, at her home in Albany.
Her and her twin sister, Paulette, were born on January 2, 1943, to Edward and Mamie (Perron) Pudvah from Glover at the Cottage Hospital with Dr. Buck in Barton.
On July 26, 1958, she married Marcel Locke, who survives her. They were married at the Glover Community Church. This year would have been 62 years of marriage. To this union was born three children: Karen, Kendall, and Korena.
Pauline and Marcel were the owners of Park View Garage and the Vermont Farm Bureau Service Company Warehouse, and they built that business from the ground up.
She loved sharing their syrup from Mom and Pop’s Maple in Albany Center every spring. Pauline was a hard worker all of her life and took care of anyone who was in need.
She was a member of the Albany United Methodist Church, board member of the Coutts Moriarty 4-H camp, member of the Creek Runners Snowmobile Club, and was a caregiver to many relatives.
Pauline was a loyal wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She was the family’s angel on earth.
She loved tractor pulling, snowmobiling, auctions, antiquing with Pat Reed and Pauline Sinon, taking care of her seven grandsons, and helping her church on chicken pie dinner day in October. Her retirement years were spent in Homosassa, Florida, which she so enjoyed.
The family was fortunate enough to have their dad be mom’s caregiver for many years. Dad will treasure that time. As the years went on, the family had some special caregivers that went above and beyond to help the family: Kara Lemieux, Corinna Fournier, Linda Salls, Kaitlyn Lemieux, Kasey Butler, Sally Gonyaw, Carol Brill, Thomasina Jacobs, and Rebecca McDonald.
Mom loved these ladies. The family knew because she would reach up and touch their hair. That meant she loved you. One of mom’s favorite weekly events was Kara’s Nail Shop. She loved your special treatments, Kara.

Henry Quincy Dowd
Henry Quincy Dowd, 66, of Newport, formerly of Newton, Massachusetts, died suddenly at home on Friday, May 22, 2020.
Henry was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on April 20, 1954, to Jacqueline (Ott) and Thomas H. Dowd Jr.
He graduated from Austin Cate Academy and received his bachelor of science and master of business administration from Babson College.
After graduating from Babson he joined Coopers and Lybrand Deloit as an auditor. Henry was an entrepreneur at a very young age and began a chimney sweep company, which evolved into a high-tech heating and air conditioning company, specializing in geothermal heat pumps. He spent his later years as a consultant.
Henry married Carole (Capalbo) Dowd on October 28, 1987. Being an avid history buff, Henry and Carole were married in the Old North Church in Boston, Massachusetts.
He was very active in Masonic Fraternity in Massachusetts where he served as master of Cornerstone Lodge AF & AM in Duxbury, Massachusetts, and Beth Horon Lodge AF & AM in Needham, Massachusetts, where he also served as treasurer. Henry was awarded the esteemed Joseph Warren Medal for distinguished service. He and Carole were very active in the Order of Eastern Star in Massachusetts.
Henry and Carole’s favorite times were spent with family and friends and their frequent trips to Vermont, which he always referred to as their “happy place.” He always said that when he crossed the New Hampshire border into Vermont, he would immediately feel relaxed. This being said, Henry and Carole left the city behind and moved to Newport in 2018. He loved the pristine beauty of the mountains and the lake and said, “This is why they call it a kingdom.”
Henry became a friend to whomever he met and always left people with his favorite line — “Go slow but don’t stop” and Henry never stopped. So remembering Henry, this thought comes to mind: “A long life may not be good enough, but a good life is long enough.”
He was predeceased by his parents, Jacqueline (Ott) and Thomas H. Dowd Jr.; his in-laws Rita (Baldasaro) and Joseph Capalbo; his sisters-in-law Rory and Karen Capalbo.
He is survived by his wife of 30 years, Carole (Capalbo); his sister Lucy Miles of Weymouth, Massachusetts; his brother-in-law Joe Capalbo Jr., and his wife, Susan, of South Dennis, Massachusetts; his beloved aunt Jean MacKinnon of Newton, Massachusetts; his nieces Alison (Miles) Pappas and her son Logan of Bridgewater, Massachusetts, and Lisa (Capalbo) Welch and her husband, Edward, of Nashua, New Hampshire; his nephews Eric Miles and his wife, Gillian, of Abington, Massachusetts, and Joseph Capalbo III and his wife, Kerry, of North Reading, Massachusetts, and their children Matthew, Alexis, and Kayla.
A celebration of Henry’s life will be held in Massachusetts at a later date.
