Sterling Dwinell , 76, died Monday, April 16, 2007, at Central Vermont Hospital. Sterling peacefully passed surrounded by his family. Sterling was born May 31, 1930, in St. Johnsbury, Vt. He graduated from the St. Johnsbury Trade School. Growing up he enjoyed hunting, fishing, planting and maintaining trees, and the outdoors. Along with his father and siblings, he helped construct what is now known as the Dwinell family camp in Peacham, Vt. In his later teen years, he met the love of his life, Pauline (Lloyd). They were married on July 4, 1953. The two made and shared their home in Berlin in 1957, which is where the Dwinell family still calls home today. He worked for the Vermont Highway Department constructing the state's roadways. He was definitely a walking road atlas. As a result of an accident in 1962, Sterling was left legally blind. Sterling enjoyed spending time with his family, whether at home or at the family's camp. He eventually retired in 1990. His retirement days were spent drinking coffee under the warm sun, remodeling the Dwinell homestead and exploring Vermont's beautiful scenery. One of his favorite hobbies was fishing, but unfortunately sometimes the only catch would be a Klondike bar at the corner store. He was predeceased in death by his parents, Edward Lee Dwinell and Masie (Adams); his loving wife Pauline and brother, Gilbert. He is survived by his sister, Connie Davis and brother, Dale; son, Jim Dwinell and wife Terry; two daughters, Linda Conrad and her husband, Harley Ricketts; and Debbie Graves and her husband, Greg. He had three grandchildren, Edward Dwinell and his wife, Jennifer, Mandy Dwinell and Ruth Jefferies; and three great-grandchildren, Jared, Eliza and Paige Dwinell. Sterling will be greatly missed. Friends and family are invited to gather at the Dwinell home at 163 Stewart Road, Berlin, following the service. Those of who wish to send donations in lieu of Sterling may contact the funeral home for trees to be planted in his honor.
