Publish in a newspaper
Barbara worked as a secretary for WDEV in Waterbury and then for the State of Vermont. Barbara was a long-time member of Queen Esther Chapter #7, OES, Waterbury, Vermont, and a member of the Ladies Aide for the Waterbury Center Community Church. Barbara enjoyed taking meticulous care of her home inside and out. She and her family spent many happy summers at the camp that she and Hugh built together in Island Pond.
Barbara is survived by her half sisters Joanne Cooper, Izola Washburn, Joyce Clark, and Linda Dexter. Her children, Susan I. Metayer and her husband, Vincent of Hyde Park, Jennifer P. Boyden and husband Eric of Richmond, Timothy H. Peterson of Waterbury, five grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren. Barbara was predeceased by her husband of 60 years, Charles Hugh Peterson, in 2012, and brothers Wayne Chaffee, Robert 'Rabbit' Chaffee, Craige Chaffee, and a stepmother, Jean Chaffee.
Internment will take place in the Waits River Cemetery in the Spring. Assisting the family is the Perkins-Parker Funeral Home and Cremation Service in Waterbury.

I will always cherish the many conversations Barbara & I enjoyed beginning when we were employed with state government and more recently during the past ten years.
Barbara was a remarkable lady.
