Carol (St. George) Marchand passed away peacefully on Monday, February 6th, as her loving husband of 69 years Peter held her hand.  She had been losing ground to Parkinson’s as this year began.  She has left this world and returned to the universe, to bring her tender, caring touch to any living thing that feels hurt, or is alone, or fights a quiet battle that is not obvious to most but clearly visible to mom.  She is loved by many, and will be missed by all.

It was a beautiful day. The temperature was mild, the sun was shining, and the Finches, Chickadees, and Juncos were singing together.  Mom had sent her little winged messengers to tell dad she was ready for him, so at 11:30 Sunday morning Peter Marchand went on his way to be with his beloved wife.  Dad was many things; caring father, dedicated teacher, hard working farmer, and champion consumer of cookies.  Above all, his love for Carol was without limit.  It is a perfect ending to a nearly 70 year old love story.
