Claudette Latreille Obituary
Cornwall - Claudette Latreille passed away very unexpectedly June 7, 2020.
She was born on November 30, 1958, the seventh child of Beverly (Douglas) & Leonard Latreille of Monkton, Vt. She grew up on the family's dairy farm with her brothers, sisters and a myriad of animals. She graduated from Mt. Abraham Union High School in 1977. A few years later she met the love of her life, and again returned to the life of a dairy farmer. In addition, over the years she has worked as a chef at the The Waybury Inn, Basin Harbour club, The Hillsboro Club (FL) and for the past 22 years at Middlebury College in their dinning services.
She is survived by her husband of 37 years, Charles Foote, their dog Adam, their daughter Jessica Riney and her son in law Josh, as well as her mother Beverly Latreille of Monkton, siblings Paul (Sheryl) Latreille, Michele (Irene) Latreille, Gisele Latreille, Estelle (Tom) Genest, Jackie (Dan) Henry, Raymond (Jill) Latreille, Sam (Tammy) Latreille, Priscilla Latreille, and Mark Douglas. She is predeceased by her father Leonard and brother Douglas.
She was a spitfire, so full of life. Her gardens are a testament of her love of nature and she never met an animal that she didn't love. Claudette was one of those rare souls who cared deeply for all people around her. She was everyone's mother, always there with a sympathetic ear, a warm meal, or a caring smack to the back of the head if that's what you needed. You never knew when she would pop into your work with a bag of chocolate, the occasional 12 ft lilac tree or just her beautiful smile to brighten your day. The world is truly a better place with Claudette having been in it and she will be sorely missed.
Blessed be the soul of the wild and free.
A Celebration of life will be planed in the future.

Claudette and her entire family were among the first to introduce themselves and welcome our family to Monkton. She was hard working, kind, thoughtful, and always searched for ways to make our world a better place. I'm so so sorry, more than words can ever say.

Claudette and Charlie were our kind, friendly neighbors on Ridge Road, and we were sad to see them move away. They were always outside, working hard on the farm or around the house.
Claudette was always welcoming and up for a chat when my young daughters and I would pass by, and she would let them play forever with Copper, her little beagle with the large personality! We will always remember Claudette's friendly smile and laugh, her love and affection toward her beloved animals, and her steadfast devotion to Charlie, especially when he was ill.
We hadn't seen Claudette and Charlie since they moved to their new home and were shocked to hear that Claudette had died. Charlie, you and Claudette were a great team. We're sending prayers for your continued healing and surrounding you and your family with love and positive energy during this sad time.
