Cyril Trombley, a beloved member of the Morrisville community, passed away unexpectedly on March 20, 2025, at the University of Vermont Medical Center. Born on September 3, 1956, in Newport, VT, Cyril's presence enriched the lives of everyone who knew him. His warm heart and genuine spirit left an indelible mark on his family and friends.

Cyril graduated from North Country Union High School in Newport, where he began to cultivate the remarkable personality that would define him. Known for his very dry sense of humor, he was extremely honest and open with those around him. Cyril had a big heart, showing compassion in everything he did, and he effortlessly made others feel valued and appreciated.

A man of varied interests and hobbies, Cyril found joy in life's simple pleasures. He had a special fondness for puzzles, relishing in challenges particularly the larger ones that tested his wit. His love for music and dancing brought him to the VFW in Hyde Park, where he enjoyed lively dances. Cyril's social nature extended to his passion for bowling and being part of a league, further demonstrating his eagerness to connect with others.

Cyril could often be found racing lawn tractors at local fairs, a past-time that allowed him to showcase his competitive spirit. He would often medal, something he truly enjoyed before undergoing major surgery that changed his way of life.

He is survived by his siblings: Lena Trombley, Linda Peno and her husband Homer, Edna Petit and her husband Gary, Suzanne Houghten and her partner Pedro, and Ernest Petit. Each of them holds cherished memories of time spent with Cyril, remembering the laughter he brought into their lives. He is also survived several nieces and nephews His caretaker, Linda Laraway, also played a significant role in his life, providing care and companionship during his later years.

Cyril was predeceased by his parents, Ernest and Alice (Conley) Trombley, whose love and guidance shaped him into the compassionate man he became.

A committal service will be held at the West Look Cemetery in Glover, Vermont on May 17th, 2025, beginning at 11:00am.

As we remember Cyril, we celebrate a life full of warmth, humor, and service to others. His memory will forever live on in our hearts, reminding us of the power of kindness and the importance of staying connected with those we love.
