Florence Z. Berthiaume - 1922-2017
A life well lived, Florence passed away on July 28th, 2017 at the Roscoe Care Home in Bristol, Vermont. She was 94. Florence was born November 30th, 1922 in North Stanbridge, Quebec, the youngest daughter of Emma and Abraham Berthiaume. At the age of two, she came to West Addison, Vermont and lived on the family farm with her seven siblings, now all deceased. Tony Berthiaume, Yvonne Gibeault, Zena Brassard, Ezebeide Quesnel, Leonie Vaillancourt, Leonard Berthiaume, and Euclide Berthiaume.
Florence loved life on the family farm. She helped out with the daily chores, taking care of the animals, especially her horse Star, driving the tractor and spending time with her brothers.
She is survived by her Goddaughter Theresa Berthiaume Simard of Maine and her Godson Steve Quesnel of Georgia, as well as numerous grand nieces and nephews.
In gratitude, the family wishes to thank Linda and Kirk Roscoe for their loving care and Dr. Emily Glick of Bristol Internal Medicine.

Florence lived a great life and will certainly be missed. I always enjoyed her positive outlook, simplicity and kindness toward others. I loved listening to her stories about life on the farm. Driving the tractor, going on adventures with her brothers, whom she adored and being a tom boy. She valued her family, life in vermont and was such a sweet, genuine person. So glad I got to spend the time I did with her.
