Marilyn Senter Obituary

MONTPELIER - Marilyn R. Senter, 78, passed away on July 29, 2014, from complications of Alzheimer's. She passed in the comfort of her home with her family present.

She was born in Barre, Vermont, on July 16, 1936, to Alfred and Isabel Rowe. She grew up and attended schools in Chelsea, Vermont.

She started employment at National Life Insurance Co. on State Street in Montpelier, working in the actuary department. Later, she was co-office manager in the pension department. She retired after 32 years as a pension facilitator. After her retirement, she started Ann's Antiques and bought and sold antiques in Maine and Vermont.

She married Bradley Senter in 1957. They have one son, Timothy Senter, and two grandchildren, Zachary and McKenzie Senter, of New York. Her siblings are Marjory Morrill, Robert Rowe, Marlene Adams and Martha Lamonda.

She was predeceased by her brother, Stuart Rowe.

She loved going to the Brimfield antique shows and antiques auctions. She and her husband enjoyed backpacking many miles on the Long Trail and the Appalachian Trail. After camping for many years on the Maine coast, the couple bought a seasonal place on Wells Harbor, and spent 18 years enjoying it.

Her golden retrievers gave her great pleasure over the years, including her present Golden, "Zeb."

The family wishes to thank the personnel, RN's, and the LNA's of Central Vermont Home Health for the wonderful care they gave.

A memorial service will be held at the First Congregational Church of Berlin on Saturday, August 9, 2014, at 11 a.m. Interment will follow the service in the Berlin Corners Cemetery.
