Juliet A. (Gauthier) Potvin, 86, peacefully passed away on Wednesday, May 10, 2017, at Our Lady of The Meadows, Richford, Vt. Juliet was born Oct. 31, 1930, in St Johnsbury, Vt., the daughter of Alphonse and Bertha Gauthier. She graduated from St. Johnsbury Academy in 1948, and the Bishop DeGoesbriand Hospital School of Nursing as an RN in 1951. She began her nursing career at the Brightlook Hospital in St. Johnsbury. It was there working that she began her great love story, nursing her future husband, State Trooper Clement Potvin, back to health, after a crash almost took his life. They married in 1953, and had over 56 years together. During this time, she raised four children and continued her career in Nursing. In 1981, Julie and Clem bought the Moose River Campground and ran it for 20 years until 2001. Julie enjoyed her family, gardening and travel, especially her trips to Alaska, and Florida. She is survived by her children, son Brian and his wife Joni, of Reno, Nev., son Michael of Breckenridge, Colo., daughter Cecilia of Windham, Maine, and daughter Kathie and her husband Bill of Underhill, Vt.; seven grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren. She is also survived by a brother Ronald Gauthier and wife Carolyn of Essex, Vt. Julie was predeceased by her parents, brother Alphonse Jr., brother Paul, sister Cecilia, husband Clement Potvin, and twins Deborah and Mary who were born prematurely. There will be no visiting hours. Funeral services will be held in the chapel at the Veterans Cemetery in Randolph, Vt., on Friday, June 2, 2017, at 9 a.m. Burial will follow. In lieu of flowers we wish to honor our Mother by donating to the National MS Society, 75 Talcott Rd. S. 40, Williston, VT 05495. Attn: Shanna McCabe. The family in great appreciation would like to thank the staff at Our Lady of the Meadows, Richford, Vt., for the wonderful support and care they gave our mother these past 8 years.
