Jeanette and I used to roller skate at the Craftsbury town hall when we were young.
Helped brick up their sugaring arch one cold February day.
Rest in Peace

I remember Jeanette's calm and caring personality. We shared many Christmas Eves sitting in the living room of her childhood home listening to her read Twas the Night Before Christmas to us younger kids. I heard her read that story for so many years, I memorized it. Since then, I've never spent a Christmas Eve without reading or reciting that story and being grateful for this beautiful and everlasting memory. Small moments like this are the fabric of life. So glad to have known my sweet...

Obituary
Jeanette's Obituary
Jeanette (Waterhouse) Pare, 69, of Newport died June 20th, 2025 after a brief illness. Jeanette was born May 25th, 1956 to Lillian Fay (Griggs) Waterhouse and Herman Waterhouse (deceased 1992). She grew up in Craftsbury on the family farm as the baby of the family where she and her siblings Jimmy (Donna) Waterhouse and Cathy Cole and many extended family members aunts & uncles, nieces & nephews and cousins enjoyed all the changes of the seasons involved in farming; haying in the summer, wreath making in the fall, holiday parties in the winter and sugaring in the spring.
In 1980, she married Anthony Pare (deceased 2019) and left the family farm to begin a new chapter. Together, they spent 23 years of marriage and raised three children: Philip (Monique), Kirk, and Monica (Bobby).
When she met her partner of over 15 years, John Kennison, her family grew to include his daughters—Jennifer (Jason), Stacey (Larry), and Jessica—whom she loved and cared for as her own.
She devoted her life to caring for others. She found her calling as a Licensed Nursing Assistant where she worked for many years in local nursing homes, BelAire and Union House, comforting and caring for her patients. Her compassion went beyond her professional life as she also found great joy in spending time with her grandchildren, Josie and Gwen, Hank and Harrison, Makenna and Tristan, Iris, and LJ.
Friends & family may come to call at Curtis-Britch & Bouffard Funeral Home 37 Lake Road, Newport, VT on Thursday, June 26th, 6-8 pm. A service will be held at the United Church of Craftsbury 7 Church Lane Craftsbury Common, VT on Friday, June 27th, at 5:00 pm with the burial to follow.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be to the Living Waters Hospice House at livingwatershospicehouse.org. On-line condolences are welcome at curtis-britch.com. Arrangements are entrusted to the care of Curtis-Britch & Bouffard Funeral Home, & Cremation Service, locally family owned and operated.
