Edith Troughton Obituary
Pittsfield, NH — Edith R. Troughton, 89, of Pittsfield, passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday, February 2, 2022, surrounded by her eight loving children and close family members.
Born in Torrington, CT on August 17, 1932, she was the daughter of the late Frederick and Margaret (Kimberley) Minery.
Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her husband Theodore M. Troughton, Sr. and her six siblings.
From a young age Edie loved to bake and carried that throughout her life, up until a few weeks ago she was still making her famous bread and giving it away to loved ones. She truly loved feeding people! She worked for many years as a waitress, her last job being for Bell Brothers in Pittsfield until her retirement. In her earlier years, Edie loved to knit but as her eyesight started to fail she took to listening to books on tape. She enjoyed her shopping trips and many adventures with her niece Jean Fiske.
Her greatest joy was her family. She felt blessed to have her eight children and lots of grandchildren (to include great and great-greats).
Family gatherings were one of her favorite things. Her favorite color was yellow and she loved sunflowers. But as one great-granddaughter put it "she was the sunflower in all of our lives."
She is survived by her eight children, Theodore M. Troughton, Jr. of Pittsfield, Fern Bond and her husband James of Loudon, Holly
Shonyo and her husband Ronald of Gilmanton, Laurel Tiede and her husband Ernst of Barnstead, Lily Clark and her husband Danny of Barnstead, Ivy Cimon and her husband Peter of Barnstead, Terrie Azotea and her husband James of Pittsfield and Tedie St. Pierre and her husband Ray of Pittsfield, 24 grandchildren, 41 great-grandchildren, 5 great-great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and cousins.
She was a long time member of Faith Community Bible Church in Loudon.
There are no services scheduled at this time. A celebration of her life will be held in the spring. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN, 38105.
