Kimberley L. Quenneville, 52, of Duxbury, passed away in the comfort
of her home and family following a long and courageous battle with
cancer on Tuesday evening, October 12, 2010. Born in Burlington on
February 5, 1958, she was the daughter of the late Wayne R. and
Elizabeth J. (Sollace) Lewis. On January 17, 1981, Kim married Thomas
Quenneville in Waitsfield.
A lifelong resident of Duxbury, Kim was a 1976 graduate of Harwood Union
High School. She continued her education, graduating from the Vermont
College of Cosmetology after which she owned and operated The Cutting
Company in Montpelier. Following her marriage, she and Tom built their
home in Duxbury and she enjoyed being a homemaker and raising their
children. For the past 13 years, Kim has worked for the Crossett Brook
Middle School in Duxbury where she was the Planning Room coordinator and
instructional assistant.
Kim enjoyed being outdoors surrounded by nature: the birds, her flowers,
gardening and spending time at their camp. She will be fondly
remembered for her devotion and love for her family. Kim also had a
passion for all children, helping them be happy and successful. All
those who have gotten to know her will miss her dearly.
Kim is survived by her husband of 29 years, Thomas Quenneville of
Duxbury; their children, Megan Elliott and her husband Justin of
Moretown, Cody Quenneville and Ira Quenneville, both of Duxbury; her
grandchildren, Dominic Elliott and twins, Natalia and Damien Elliott; a
brother, Kirk Lewis of Whitefield, NH; as well as nieces, nephews and
extended family.
