It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Kristi Lynne (Lavoie) Leblanc, an amazing wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend.  Kristi passed away on January 22, 2025 in Boston, MA with her loving husband and her immediate family by her side.  She was born on November 5, 1978 in Newport, VT to David Lavoie and Susan (Quintal) Lavoie. On September 3, 2005 she married the love of her life Eric Leblanc who survives her. Kristi lived in North Troy for the past 20 years.

Kristi grew up in Newport, VT and attended Newport City Elementary School and graduated from North Country Union High School, class of 1996. She then attended Lyndon State College where she received her bachelor's degree in psychology and human resources. Later on she attended UVM where she received her degree in dental hygiene. She worked at Mt. Mansfield Dentistry in Morrisville for 20 years where she loved and enjoyed her work. Every day, she brought compassion and kindness to her patients and she cherished the connections she made.  She was deeply touched by the amount of cards and gifts she received during this past year, reminding her of the lasting impact she had on others. During her recent hospital stay Kristi was known for her generosity and compassion.  Even during her hardest days, she remained dedicated to helping others, especially those facing similar struggles with cancer.

In her free time she looked forward to shopping trips with her family especially with her mom, grandmother and sister.  She loved spending time with her dog, Millie, going for walks with her sister, attending sporting events/games with her husband Eric to watch their children play.  She enjoyed spending time with her family camping, attending country and rock concerts, relaxing by her pool and found joy in going to the ocean.

Kristi was a loving mother to her two children Tristan and Macie Leblanc who meant the world to her. She went to every baseball, softball and basketball game and only recently missed because of her out of state medical appointments. She leaves behind her mother Susan Lavoie and fiancé Tony Malshuk of Newport, father David Lavoie and his wife Jane of Brownington, maternal grandmother Rachel Quintal of Westfield, sister Jennifer Guillette and her husband Armand of Derby and their children Ryan and Mya.
