Rejeanne Major of Barton passed away in Newport on Sunday, January 30. She was born in Sherbrooke, Quebec on September 7, 1930. She was a longtime resident of Barton and a devoted member and volunteer at St. Paul's Catholic Church.

She and her husband Gerry owned and operated Major's Texaco garage and Bel View Campground in Barton in the 1950's through the 70's. Her past employers included Slalom Skiwear and Bogner America and Maple Lane Nursing Home. She was a devoted mother and grandmother to her five children and 6 grandchildren. Many friends were made during her lifetime. She enjoyed visiting with friends and family at the family camp at Lake Memphremagog. She was a very social person and was always up to date on the happenings in Barton, and she often took walks to the state park at Crystal Lake. She loved animals, particularly her cats, but she also loved visiting with her children's pets. Mostly, though, she dearly loved her family, keeping touch on an almost daily basis by either calling her children or visiting them. She will be greatly missed by all whose lives she touched. She was proud of her Canadian heritage and had many fond memories of growing up in Beebe, Quebec. She remained close to her French relatives as best as she could all her life.

She was predeceased by her husband Gerard Major, her parents Victor and Blanche Morin, a brother Rene Morin, and by her son-in-law Bill Kelly.

She is survived by her brother Father Guy Morin from Quebec City, and her children Martial and his wife Alicia of West Glover, Lucille Major Kelly of Quechee, Paul Major of Brownington and his wife Phili, Christine Major of Winston-Salem, NC and Monique and her husband Steve Trono of So. Burlington. Her grandchildren include Sarah Chadburn and her husband Kyle, Emily Major and Neil Major, George Trono and Natalie Trono and Benjamin Kelly.

A funeral mass will be held on Saturday February 5 at 11 am at St.Paul's Catholic Church in Barton. A reception and lunch will be held immediately after the funeral at St. Theresa's parish hall in Orleans.
