, age 99, ended his journey in this life on September 27th, 2013, just months short of his 100th birthday goal. Although his passing leaves his family deeply saddened, the memories he created and the lives he shaped will remain as his legacy. Kenneth's life began on a cold winter's morning in Charleston, Vermont, on March 4th, 1914. The third of five children born to John and Etta (Labounty) Powers, Kenneth's lifelong resilience was evident even in his childhood. Following the divorce of his parents, he endured the hardship of living among various homes where he failed to receive the care and compassion he deserved. Despite this, Kenneth emerged as a loving, dedicated man, who always put his family first, even when it meant noteworthy personal sacrifice. In May of 1934, Kenneth married his cherished wife, Esther Davignon Powers, with whom he shared 49 years of marriage and seven children. Kenneth spent endless days working as a farmhand and deep within the Vermont woods, even on the coldest New England days that left him nearly frozen. Whether sick, bruised, or exhausted, his priority was to make sure that his family was well taken care of and loved. His work ethic never waned and continued well into his nineties, as he busied himself puttering around, visiting garage sales, and tending his half-acre garden. Although his formal education never reached beyond grade school, his innate wisdom and intellectual curiosity ensured that he learned to read and write better than most high school graduates today. His love of reading, a gift that he passed on to his offspring, spanned nearly eight decades, with the Bible and his treasured Western novels serving as his all-time favorites. His inherent talents extended well beyond reading. Kenneth's self-taught ability to play the spoons, harmonica, and guitar delighted his children and grandchildren, and made summer nights at Camp on Brownington Pond unforgettable. In addition, his athletic skills kept the grandkids occupied for hours. In fact, there isn't a grandchild who doesn't affectionately remember intensely-fought badminton games that he refused to lose or the black eyes earned by those brave enough to challenge him to a game of catch. In spite of his intense competitiveness and temperament, Kenneth always had some kind of candy available as a peace offering and a token of his unwavering love. Heartbroken after Esther's untimely death in 1983, Kenneth faltered in sadness until he met and later married his second wife, Lillian Flanders Powers, whose patience and love fortified Kenneth for 27 years until her passing in 2010. Kenneth was also predeceased by his grandson, Dwight Powers, in 1966, and his fourth child, Dale Powers, in 1989. Kenneth is survived by his son Richard Powers and his wife Eleanor of Enosburg, VT, his son Norman and wife Susan Powers of Middletown, CT, his daughter Charlotte Powers Webster of Las Vegas, NV, his son Larry and wife Jan Powers of Newport, VT, his daughter Jane Moulton of Orleans, VT, and his son Robert Powers of Rocky Mount, VA, in addition to 16 grandchildren and many great-grandchildren. As he requested, a simple graveside memorial service will be held on Saturday, October 5th, 2013, at 11 a.m. before his ashes are laid to rest beside his beloved Esther in the Charleston Center Cemetery in Charleston, VT. Because Kenneth so dearly loved animals, including those whose companionship brightened his life over the many years, donations may be made to the Pope Memorial Animal Shelter, 502 Strawberry Acres, Newport, VT 05855, in lieu of flowers. His family will carry their memories and love for "Dad" and "Grandpa" close within their hearts for years to come. They will forever remain grateful for the talents, humor, and love that he shared with them, and which made their lives all that more special. May he rest in eternal peace and watch over them from above until they reunite again one day. A graveside service will be held at 11:00 A.M. on Saturday October 5, 2013 at the West Village Cemetery in West Charleston, VT with the Rev. Richard Whitehill officiating.

, 81, of Newport passed away on September 12, 2013, in Newport, a day after her birthday. Her death comes after a few months of failing health following hip replacement surgery. Born in Irasburg on September 11, 1932, to Earl and Molly (Howell) Simino, in her early years Pauline worked at Jay’s Snack Bar in Derby. Memories created there lasted her a lifetime. One of her most endearing memories that arose out of time at the snack bar was meeting a Newport boy named Wayne Wheeler in 1958. They married on June 20, 1959. Together they raised three sons and operated the Antenna Man, installing thousands of rooftop and satellite antennas during more than half a century of business. Pauline took great pride in her role of wife and mother, but her greatest and most cherished role was that of grandmother — to both two-legged and four-legged grandchildren. Pauline gave her husband, her children and their spouses, and her grandchildren, unconditional love. She and Wayne traveled near and far to attend their school and sporting events. They also enjoyed numerous trips with Community Circle. Gifted with a dry, Vermont wit and a quiet wisdom, she raised three sons, seldom raising her voice. Although she never had a daughter of her own, she always treated her sons’ wives or partners as if they were her own daughters. She found a daughter in her only granddaughter, Emily, her partner in mischief and misadventures. Having been dealt a bad hand at a young age, Pauline had every reason to be a bitter woman, but she wasn’t. She found the best in everything and everybody. While working in Massachusetts, her father met, fell in love, and married a young woman named Molly. She was working there to send money back to her family in Newfoundland. After Earl and Molly married they moved back to Earl’s home town of Irasburg, Vermont. The couple had three children: John, Elizabeth (Scott), and Pauline, the youngest. However, the love affair between this young Vermonter and the young woman from Newfoundland was short-lived. Molly died on June 2, 1937, during a tuberculosis outbreak. Pauline, who was four years old at the time, was left with no memories of her mother. Her father never remarried. John and Elizabeth, who are no longer with us, helped their father raise Pauline into the kind and compassionate soul we all knew and loved. Pauline was a 1950 graduate of Orleans High School. Pauline is survived by her husband, Wayne, and their sons: Jeffrey of Newport Center; Scott and his wife, Penny, of Derby, and Kevin and his wife, Tammy, of Orleans. She loved her husband and sons, but the sun rose and set over her grandchildren: Curtis Wheeler and his wife, Gabrielle, of Presque Isle, Maine, Nicholas Wheeler and his partner, Abby Isleborn, of Bangor, Maine, Emily Wheeler of Essex, Vermont; Jordan and Aaron Wheeler of Orleans, Vermont, and Jeffrey Hensley of Meriden, Connecticut. She is survived by a former daughter-in-law, April Wheeler. In addition, she is survived by her cat, Mittens, and by the many wild birds, especially her cardinals, that she fed throughout the decades. As we now have to say good-bye to our wife, mother, and grandmother, it’s unimaginable to think that we are going to walk the remainder of our lives without her, but without a doubt her quiet teachings are forever rooted in us. And we have little doubt her spirit will forever gently guide us on our journey, the same way she guided us when she was with us. Friends may call from 6-8 p.m. on Thursday, September 19, 2013 at the Curtis-Britch-Converse-Rushford Funeral Home at 37 Lake Road in Newport, where a celebration of Pauline’s life will be held at 10:00 A.M. on Friday, September 20, 2013. Internment will follow at the Lake Road Cemetery in Newport Center. Being a lover of all animals, domestic and wild, people are encouraged to donate in her memory to the Pope Frontier Animal Society, 502 Strawberry Acres Road, Newport, VT 05855.
