Pauline Blanche Millett

SWANTON - Pauline Millett, age 87, passed away on Wednesday, February 11th, 2026 just days shy of her 88th birthday at the Franklin County Rehab Center in St. Albans.

She was born on February 17, 1938 in Fairfax to Edward and Bertha (Sorrell) Pelkey.

Pauline enjoyed crafts, needlework, and word searches. Her hands were always busy creating something beautiful. She was an avid cook, well-known for her delicious soups, warm bread pudding, and delightful pineapple dessert, which brought joy to family gatherings. She had a love for her dogs, Precious, Smokey and Sadey.

Throughout her life, Pauline worked as a store clerk, dedicating many years to various food stores, including Prouty's IGA, Snoopy's Daycare, and The Big Scoop. Her engaging smile and warm demeanor made her a beloved presence in the retail community.

Pauline found immense joy in the simple pleasures of life. She cherished fishing trips with her parents during childhood and treasured family camping trips to Maine for the Fourth of July, where laughter and love filled the air.

Pauline's heart shone brightest in the little moments, such as taking rides to enjoy creemees or a caramel frappe, each outing she loved going with family and had great joy of togetherness.

She is survived by her children, Julie St. Francis and Stan Brown, Linda Larocque and Ray, Edward Lambert and Lisa, Gary Lambert and Tonya, and Paula Banyea and Shawn, many grandchildren and great grandchildren. Pauline was predeceased by her parents, Edward and Bertha; husband, Theodore; all of her siblings; and great grandson, Wyatt; granddaughter, Megan (Mavis).

In respecting Pauline's wishes, there will be no public services.
