ObituaryMar 7, 2015  OBITUARY: MARGARET A. HIGBEE - NORTH FERRISBURGH - Margaret A. Higbee of North Ferrisburgh was taken to heaven by angels on March 5, 2015, after a brief illness at Porter Hospital. She was born Margaret Alice Stevens on July 4, 1929, the daughter of the late Arnold and Beatrice (St. Clair) Stevens. She attended schools in Springfield, Vt. On Sept. 1, 1979, she married the late George Higbee. Margaret worked for several area people, caregiving and cleaning. She took pride in her beautiful flowers and holidays displays. Family and the holidays were very special to her. Margaret was a loving wife, sister, sister-in-law, aunt, great aunt and friend. She is survived by her brother, Arnold Stevens Jr. and his wife, Barbara; and a sister, Evelyn Roberts. Also surviving is her brother-in-law, Olin Flynn; sister-in-law, Joanne Stevens; special nieces, Zandra (Marcel) Cousino, Iona (Loren) Smith, Mari (Paul) Quesnel, Shari (Roger) Lussier, Terry Flynn; and a special nephew, Tim (Erica) Flynn; many very special great nieces and nephews; and a very special friend, Nora Wright. Margaret was predeceased by her husband, George Higbee; a special brother, Herbert Stevens; special sisters, Eunice Flynn, Phyliss Call, and Doris Wetherby; nephews, Kevin Flynn and Scott Cousino; and great nieces, Carrie Flynn and Brianna Popp. Some people make a difference just by being who they are. Their inner light shines bright and touches lives even when they are gone. They still forever play a big part in our hearts... Until we meet again! Funeral services will be held 11 a.m. on Wednesday, March 11, 2015, at St. Peter's Catholic Church in Vergennes, with a reception following at the parish hall. There will be no visiting hours.

Box 11, Vergennes, VT 05491; or St Peter's Church, 85 South Maple St., Vergennes, VT 05491.
