Ann-Marie R. Mears

BARRE TOWN-Our beautiful, kind, strong and wildly determined mother, Ann-Marie Mears, passed on to her next life, where she will be free of pain, on May 27th. She greets her much loved and long missed husband Gary Mears, parents Roger and Laurette Chouinard and her brother Leopold Chouinard. Born in Barre on December 21, 1958, she was the devoted daughter of Roger and Laurette. She married her second grade sweetheart, Gary, on June 2, 1979. They made their home in Barre Town where she took great pride in caring for her yard, garden and flower beds. Working outside with her hands gave her great joy. She found being by the ocean relaxing and enjoyed a slow paddle around local ponds on her kayak. She loved nothing more than time with her grandkids; her four little rascals. She made the best homemade rolls in the land, always providing every family event with plenty, where we would all fight over the last one. She worked for the State of Vermont for 33 years. She is survived by her children, Stephanie...
