Newbury, VT - Doris Eugenie (Senn) Barrett of West Newbury, went to her heavenly home on April 5, 2021 at the Frances Atkinson Residence in Newbury, VT. Doris was born on July 12, 1927 in Port Washington, NY to George Senn and Hedwig (Bartlett) Senn. She graduated from Port Washington High School and attended Geneseo State Teachers College in Geneseo, NY. Doris taught Kindergarten in Levittown, NY until she married Frederick J. de Redon in 1951 then resided in Essex, CT where they raised two children.

In 1974 she married Luther "Skip" Barrett and made their home at Halls Lake in West Newbury, VT. Skip and Doris led an active life helping friends, neighbors and the folks at the Oasis Assisted Living Residence and the annual West Newbury turkey suppers. She was a member of the West Newbury Congregational Church and the Women's Fellowship.

Doris loved spending time with her family and grandchildren at her home on Halls Lake and her parents' summer home in Shelter Island, Long Island, NY. Thanksgiving was her favorite holiday when she would be delighted to have her family all together.

Doris loved her "Atkinson Family" where she spiced up everyone's life there and will be missed by everyone who knew her. The Atkinson Residence is a unique small-town gem that Doris named "The Inn" where she felt loved and cared for by the staff and other residents.

She leaves her devoted husband of 46 years, Luther "Skip" Barrett; a daughter, Diane Frost and husband Charles of Groton, VT; a son, George de Redon and wife Ruth Ann of Winchester, MA; four grandchildren, Steven, Kelly, Emily and husband Zaid, and Timothy; one great-grandson, Luke.

She was predeceased by her parents, her first husband, a grandson John and a sister Ilse Epprecht.

A graveside service will be held for family and friends in the summer of 2021 at Townhouse Cemetery in Newbury, VT.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Frances Atkinson Residence, 4717 Main St., Newbury, VT 0505 or to the West Newbury Congregational Church, PO Box 82, West Newbury, VT 05085.
