Olivine M. Perrault, 97, died peacefully following a short illness at North Country Hospital in Newport, Vt., on April 7, 2015.
Olivine, a lifelong resident of Lyndonville, was born on May 1, 1917, to Aime and Alice Hebert. She was one of nine children. She was a graduate of Lyndon Institute where she was an outstanding pianist, winning top honors at Allstate competitions. She had her own beauty shop in Lyndonville for many years and was very proud of her chosen profession. She was devoted to her entire family and her deepest pleasure was doing for others. She spent her last year at the Maple Lane Nursing Home in Barton, Vt., where she received excellent care.
Olivine is survived by two sons and their wives, Ronald and Madeleine Ducham and David and Donna Ducham; as well as two stepsons and their wives, Michel and Anne Perrault and John and Maryalyce Perrault; brother Armand Hebert and his wife Priscilla; and sister Pauline Duchaine. Very dear to her were grandchildren: Patricia Ayer, Susan Jones, Jean Manz, Steven Ducham, and Kathryn Rynders. She also leaves 11 great-grandchildren to whom she was very devoted: Whitney and Ryan Jones, Benjamin, Cameron, and Lillie Ayer, Noah and Josiah Manz, Nathan and Alice Ducham, and Grace and Olivia Rynders. Many nephews and nieces also mourn her loss. She was predeceased in death by two husbands, Ronald Ducham and Gerard Perrault; her parents; brothers, Francis, Leo and Adrian; and sisters, Florence Pinard and Leona Hebert.
She also suffered the tragic loss of three young grandchildren: David John, Johnette, and John Peter Ducham.
A celebration of her life will take place at a later date at the convenience of her family.
