Peacham, VT- Jean Berwick, 75, of Church Street, died peacefully at her home with her family by her side. Jean was born on July 24, 1939, in Northfield, VT, the daughter of Vera Berno Noble. She attended school at Peacham Academy and married Benjamin W. Berwick who predeceased her in 1985. Jean was passionate about community, and loved to share and socialize daily with many friends and family. She served a few years as keeper of the pound as well as Lister, Deputy Health Officer and served on the board of Peacham Community Housing. She cooked and served at the West Barnet Senior meal site. Jean found one of her true passions to be care-giving and hospice care and she had the pleasure of sitting with and caring for several Peacham residents. Jean and her husband Benjamin were avid dancers. They enjoyed spending an early morning and afternoon out on the boat. Jean s most ultimate pleasure was to stay at camp up on Cow Hill in the summer, enjoying the peaceful calm and joyful quiet of being so close to nature, and cooking meals for family and a few friends on the tiny woodstove. The kitchen and dining room were two of Jean s most loved rooms in the house; rooms that brought so many into her home to celebrate and share a good feast of food, laughs, and good times. Jean is survived by her children, a daughter Janet Matte and husband George of Danville, VT, son Benjamin Berwick of Beattyville, KY, daughter Elaine Chamberlain and husband Mark of Lyndon, son Christopher of St. Johnsbury, VT; two grandchildren, Jeanna Berwick of Barnet, VT and Josslyn Berwick of St. Johnsbury; a great grandson, Jaxon Durffee of Lyndonville, VT; two step-grandchildren, Joshua Chamberlain of St. Johnsbury and Justin Chamberlain of Tilton, NH; a sister, Nancy Pillette and husband Raymond of Lyndonville, VT; sisters in law, Joan Lowell and Carol Workman; brother in law George Barrett; and several nieces and nephews. Jean was predeceased by her father and mother in law, Benjamin and Theresa Berwick; her husband Benjamin Berwick; her sister Phyllis Hurley; sister in law, Carolyn Barrett; and her brother in law, Allan Berwick and his wife Doris. Jean and her family would like to acknowledge several important people in her life: her foster parents, Westly and Rebecca Hanscom, her foster sisters, as well as Hilary, Debi, and Rani Smith. There will be no calling hours. A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, August 26, at 11 AM at the Peacham Congregational Church, Church Street, Peacham, VT, with Rev. Dr. Robert A. Potter and Pastor Joshua Brown officiating. Burial will be at the convenience of the family.
