Margery E. (Passut) Bean , 80, of Lyndonville, died peacefully Tuesday
afternoon Dec. 14, 2010, at The Pines Rehabilitation and Health Center in
Lyndon. She was born Aug. 10, 1930, in Greenfield, Mass., the daughter of
Frederick and Margery (Robinson) Passut. She was schooled in St.
Johnsbury and attended St. Johnsbury Academy. On Sept. 20, 1947, she
married Benny Bean. He predeceased her exactly one year to the day, on
Dec. 14, 2009. They had been married for 62 years. Margery had been a
member of the St. Johnsbury and the Lyndonville women's clubs. She had
been a volunteer at Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital and the
Fairbanks Museum, both of St. Johnsbury. She had worked in the office of
Vermont Tap and Die Co. in Lyndonville for several years. Part-time jobs
helped keep her busy: cooking at Comstocks Restaurant in St. Johnsbury, a
cashier at First National Grocery store in Lyndonville, and other places
during her life. Cooking and baking for her family, reading, writing,
working in her flower gardens, bingo and family gatherings brought her
much pleasure. She also loved her feline companions throughout the
years. Margery is remembered as a kind, gentle, selfless and
compassionate person who will be missed by those who knew and loved
her. Survivors include her four children, Sharon Dolloff and husband Dave
of Lyndonville, Stephen Bean and wife Liz of Leesburg, Fla., David Bean
and wife Janet of Leesburg, and Jeffrey Bean and wife Diane of East Burke;
11 grandchildren; 23 great-grandchildren; her brother Robert Passut and
wife Bonita of Jenson Beach, Fla.; her in-laws, Calvin Bean of Utah, Richard
Bean of St. Johnsbury, Elizabeth Pearsons of Massachusetts, Marjorie Bean
of Massachusetts and Arnold Garand of Waterford; numerous nieces and
nephews, including Brent Passut; and a special family friend, Nate Winsor
with whom Margery was quite close. Funeral services will be private and
held at the convenience of the family. Spring burial will be in Woodmont
Cemetery in East Burke. Donations made in her memory may be directed
to Lyndon Rescue Inc., P.O. Box 401, Lyndonville, VT 05851. Margery's
family would like to thank the nurses and staff at The Pines for the
exceptional care given to her during the last year and a half she resided
there.
