Edith Halpin
September 30, 1937 — January 4, 2023
LUNENBURG – Edith Halpin, 95, passed away peacefully in her sleep at her home on Wednesday, January 4, 2023, following a period of declining health.
Edith was born on September 30, 1927, to Herbert and Mae (Fuller) Silver and lived her entire life in the Lunenburg/E. Concord area. She married Norman “Paddy” Halpin on December 15, 1949, and they celebrated 47 years together.
Her favorite times were spent walking or riding the back roads, picking wild berries, picnicking and sharing time with her family. She loved gardening and her “green thumb” was evident in all the flower and vegetable gardens surrounding her home. She was an avid knitter and an accomplished seamstress who could create, alter, or mend anything as many people in the area can attest.
Edith’s Catholic faith was an important part of her life. She was an active member of St. Leo Parish in Lunenburg until its closure and then attended Gate of Heaven Parish in Lancaster. Edith was predeceased by her husband “Paddy” in 1997, her daughter Janet in 2019 and by her brothers Buddy and Billy and her sister Tootie.
She is survived by her daughter Karen, son-in-law Roland Dube, sister-in-law Jackie Scott and nieces and nephews. She was also blessed with special neighbors, John and Darlene and Dave and Kathy who have always been there for her.
Edith was very grateful to be able to remain in her own home, to look out over the Connecticut River and watch the birds in her backyard feeders.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, January 13, at 11:00AM at All Saints Church, Lancaster. Reverend Britto Adaikalam, pastor, will officiate. A graveside committal service will be held Thursday, June 1st at 11:00 AM in Riverside Cemetery, Lunenburg.
In lieu of flowers, donations are requested for the Gate of Heaven Parish, 163 Main Street, Lancaster or Caledonia Home Health and Hospice, 161 Sherman Drive, St. Johnsbury.
