On December 21, 2023, Bernice R. Brisson passed away at the age of 88. She was a beloved, wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother and will be sorely missed.
Born in Hanover, NH to Harold and Gwendolen Rye. The family (including her older sister Lois) moved around a couple of farm locations, mostly in Vermont but finally calling the farm in South Burlington home. There her younger brother Art, joined the family. It was from here that she finished high school, then started working at the Merchants Bank in Burlington.
Working at the bank is where she met her future husband, Don. They would start their life (66 years of marriage) together where they built a house on a small piece of land at the family farm. They moved a couple of times, but stayed in the local area. Over the years they raised three boys, Tony, Tim and Mike. The boys along with their wife's Sue, Dawna and Sheri would give them five grandchildren, Kristy, Mark, Scott, Elise and Brett. Kristy would give them two great granddaughters, Mckenna and Allie.
She was always passionate about supporting the local food shelf as well as the VT Food Bank. In lieu of flowers please donate to your local food shelf or the VT Food Bank.
