PAULINE A. CARPENTIER

PAULINE A. CARPENTIER - MORRISVILLE - Pauline Alice Carpentier, 68, passed away on Sunday, March 22, 2015, in Birchwood Terrace Nursing Home in Burlington. She was born Sept. 4, 1946, in Morrisville, the daughter of Richard and Edna (Moulton) Carpentier. Pauline lived in Sarasota, Fla., for about 30 years, and was a disabled veteran undergoing dialysis, until she received a kidney transplant 26 years ago. Although Pauline underwent many setbacks, she always bounced back, earning her the nickname "The Energizer Bunny." Her military nickname was "Carpie." Pauline moved back to Morrisville about eight years ago and has lived at home until the last few months. She never lost her sense of humor and always joked around with you. She loved doing needlework, wood projects, gardening, traveling, both of her very special families, and was always willing to help anyone. She was a lifelong member of the Women's VFW Auxiliary. We have lost a very special lady and she will be greatly missed. Pauline is survived by her sisters, Jean (Mrs. Richard) Wells of Morrisville, Rachael (Mrs. Clint) Kelley of Rainier, Ore., and Rita Gilles of Troy, N.Y.; brother, William (and Carol) Moulton of Morrisville; her adopted sister, Corrine Ward; very special brothers and sisters, Calvin Baker and family of Richmond, Va., Roger Houston and family of Winchester, Va., Daniel Houston and family of Charlotte, N.C., Nancy Baker of Morrisville, Gloria Lanpher and family of Orlando, Fla., and Brenda Savage and family of North Hyde Park; and several nephews and nieces. She was predeceased by her parents, Dick and Edna Carpentier; sister, Doris (Norman) Spaulding; nephew, Nathan Spaulding; and niece, Holly Wells. Her family wishes to say a very grateful thank you to the staff at Birchwood Terrace, Lamoille Home Health & Hospice for all their wonderful care of Pauline.
