Theresa Trotier, 97, of Newport, VT passed away peacefully on April 25, 2024 at the Bel-Aire Nursing home with a family member by her side. She was born in Newport the daughter of Joseph Ernest Lambert and Valeda (Pelletier) Lambert. Growing up in Newport she attended and graduated from Sacred Heart schools.  She married Marcel Trotier and together they had 4 children.

In 1964 she went to work for the Department of Employment Security. She started her job as a secretary and retired as the manager. Theresa was a faithful member of the Catholic church. She loved bowling, golfing and she learned to ski when she was in her 40s. For several years she published her memoirs in the Barton Chronicle. Theresa was an extremely talented seamstress.  When she entered Michaud Manor at 94 she insisted on bringing her sewing machine with her and within the first few days she was making repairs for the residents. As she declined further, she spent her last year at Bel-Aire but still had enough spunk so that the family would get comments from the staff about her cleverness. The family is grateful for all the caregivers she had at the end of her life.

She was predeceased by her ex-husband Marcel Trotier, her special friend Brad Thomas, and her 9 siblings, Laureanne Mossa, Cecile (Sr. Ernest), Rosette (Sr. Cecile), Mary Blanche, John, Lou, Min, Fred, and Mark Henry Lambert.
