Guy Lamadeleine, 76, a longtime resident of Barton, died peacefully on January 4, 2022 in Lyndonville. His family and friends will greatly miss the joy and happiness he brought to all who were around him.

He was born March 8, 1945 in Barton, son of Albert and Germaine (Tetreault) Lamadeleine. He attended St. Paul's Catholic School and worked on the family farm for many years. He liked animals, singing, social events in town and stayed close to his sister, Therese Bonnette and her husband, George, and his three nieces. Guy was very musically talented and played the trumpet, cornet, and harmonica. He sang in the choir at St. Paul's with his older brother, Clement, and at St. Theresa in Orleans with Peter Tarbox and his family. Music brought him much happiness and was an important part of his life.

Guy really loved people whether it was visiting with his uncles and cousins at the farm or playing cards with the neighbors he always gave generously of his time and talents. He enjoyed nature and going to Crystal Lake State Park with friends and family. He was a regular at the senior center in Barton and said that spending time with good people would make him forget his age and troubles. It nourished his body, soul, and spirit. He will truly be missed by the people who knew him.

He had a strong faith in God and a sincere, heartwarming, and strong love for people, especially his family and friends. He had a way of seeing the best in people and despite the challenges in his life he always managed to smile, laugh, and persevere and he helped others to do the same.

He is survived by his sister Therese and her husband, George Bonnette, of Barton; his

sister-in-law Henriette Lamadeleine; his three nieces: Anne Gamble and her husband, Rob, and their five children of Glenburn, Maine, Claire Beck and her husband, Gene, of Henderson, Nevada, and Dorothy Bonnette of Albany, VT and by cousins in Orleans county.
