Yvette Limoges, 84, of Troy, VT, went to her eternal reward peacefully, October 5, 2023, with her son Norman, daughter Nicole, and friend Lisa Brewster at her side. She was born at the family homestead on Irish Hill in Lowell, VT December 29, 1938, to Wilfred St. George Sr. and Georgianna (Gadoury) St. George.

Some of her early childhood memories included walking to Holy Mass on Sunday from the top of Irish Hill to St. Ignatius Church in Lowell. When it was time for Yvette to attend her first years of elementary school, her father sent her to school with Catholic nuns in Quebec so that she wouldn't be the only girl traveling to school in a horse drawn wagon with older boys.

The family moved to Troy, and Yvette worked on the family farm with her brother Wilfred Jr. and sister Delia. Yvette shared many stories over the years about the adventures her and her siblings had on the farm. One of the favorite childhood memories Yvette would recall is playing with the family's pet goat, Ninny. Ninny, the goat, was known for meeting the siblings on the way back from school everyday so that it could eat any food left in their lunch boxes. Another memory was that Yvette and her mother had competitive spirits. They would have many races to see who could milk a cow by hand the fastest. Many happy memories of farm life were shared by Yvette.

Yvette met her soulmate at a double wedding where two sisters, Yvonne and Helen Couture married two brothers Hilaire and Guy Robillard. The young man she met, Roland Limoges, was a soldier, home on leave especially to attend the same wedding. It was love at first sight. Yvette loved to see a well-dressed man in military uniform, and she always had great respect for anyone that served in the military. Roland and Yvette married May 30, 1959. They lived in Orleans for a couple of years and then decided to purchase a farm in Westfield, VT. Together, they raised five children and farmed in Westfield for eighteen years.

Once the farm was sold, Roland and Yvette wanted to continue to own a business. They purchased Derby Lanes, a Candlepin bowling alley. Yvette and Roland operated the bowling alley together for 18 years until Roland went to his eternal reward. Yvette continued to run the bowling alley with her son Norman for another five years. Many patrons of the bowling alley became like family to Yvette. Lots of people called Yvette "mom" or "ma tante." Much love to all those who supported Yvette after Roland's passing.

Yvette, early in her retirement, enjoyed eating breakfast at the Junction 101 restaurant with her friends and family. She loved playing cards, doing word find puzzles and watching westerns on TV.

Yvette always had a special place in her heart for the Angels. She collected and exchanged angel figurines with her friend Diane Parenteau for many years. Yvette truly believed in God's Angels and their assistance in our lives.

Yvette is survived by her son Norman and wife Lyne of Derby, son Donald and wife Meredith of Marietta, GA, son Michael and significant other, Mary of Milford, NH, daughter Nicole and husband Jerry Pion of Troy, grandchildren Adam Limoges and wife Jaime, Zachary Pion, Dominic Pion and wife Christine, Justin Limoges, and Korianna Limoges, and foster grand-daughter Maureen Zimmerman. Yvette is also survived by her sister Delia and husband Louis Lemieux of Newport and many nieces and nephews. Yvette was predeceased by her beloved husband Roland and her son Gerard, her brothers Yvan, Gaston, Wilfred Jr. and her parents.
