Maria Dutil Obituary
Colchester - Maria Boudreau Dutil, beloved wife, mother, sister and friend, of Colchester, passed away peacefully on Saturday, December 21, 2019 at Maple Ridge Memory Care from complications of Alzheimer's Disease. She was 69 years old.
She was born in St. Albans, VT on October 13, 1950, the daughter of the late Gilles and Hortense (Desorcie) Boudreau. She graduated from Highgate High School Class of 1967 and attended Champlain College, graduating in 1970.
Maria worked for the UVM Medical Center for more than 40 years, starting at Fanny Allen Hospital and ending her career as a Documentation Auditor in Health Information Management. Maria was a longtime resident of Colchester and a congregant of Our Lady of Grace.
Maria will be missed for her beautiful smile, her unending kindness, and her deep love of family. She made everyone welcome into her home with baked goods at the ready. She provided warmth and solace to us all. Mere words cannot express how much she will be missed.

She was predeceased by her brothers John and Michael Boudreau.
The family would like to thank the caregivers at Maple Ridge for the excellent care and compassionate kindness shown to Maria.

There are only a few people you meet in life who genuinely make the world a better place. Maria was one. She was full of good advice, compassion, humor and warmth. She took care of everybody. She lived a beautiful life, it was just too short.

Oh Maria,
You were such a bright spot in my world, it's hard to imagine you are no longer with us. I will forever be grateful to have been your friend, and I know your 3 precious grandchildren with miss you terribly - I've never seen such a devoted and involved grandmother as you were.
My heart breaks for your loved ones.
Wishing you peace and joy in your new journey.
