Fernand Lanoue Obituary
Fern spent over 40 years dairy farming at his third-generation family farm, and 22 years driving a bus for the North Country school system. He was most proud of his family and his part in the formation of the Country Riders Snowmobile Club. Fern really enjoyed socializing with others, especially getting to know students at the school.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, August 5, 2023 at 11 a.m. at St. Mary's Church in Newport, VT, with burial directly following at St. Mary's Cemetery. At Fern's request, there will be no calling hours.

I met Fern out staking trails for the snowmobile club, he invited my husband and I back to his home, where out in the barn he pulled out a picture book of the first 20+ years of Country Riders Snowmobile Club. He shared stories with every picture in that book, from the first meeting to Ernest getting his truck stuck in the mud. I will never forget that day. I met my Cross Rd neighbor, One of the founders of my favorite snowmobile club and a man who became a dear friend. You were my side kick a last years VAST meeting. I will miss seeing you at club events, I will miss seeing you riding your bike past my house, and the occasional stop in to say hello. I will miss listening to your stories, I will miss seeing you out on the trail, and most of all I will miss my friend! My heart and thoughts go out to your family and friends.

While Fern was always a good farmer and took wonderful care of the Home farm, it's his second act where he truly shined. He was more than a bus driver, as I remember him at many of the home meets, whether track or softball, cheering on the kids. He may not have been related to them by blood , but he took a real interest in their lives and it couldn't help but make you smile. Yes, Fern was one of the good ones...
