Lise P. Airoldi East Highgate, Vermont - Lise P. Airoldi, of East Highgate, 74, left us peacefully, after a courageous and graceful battle with Parkinson’s on Thursday, September 3, 2009 at Redstone Villa in St. Albans.
Lise’s life was spent as a mother and a great homemaker. For years Lise enjoyed going to camp with her husband Herve. They spent many a weekend at this private get-away. Lise loved gardening and canned many pickled beets, beans, dill pickles and green tomatoes. Lise loved being in the kitchen, she always made sure that you didn’t leave the table hungry! It was always amazing how creative she was with a nice ham from Joe’s Market. Lise produced numerous meals from a single ham down to the last spoonful of pea soup.
Lise had many hobbies and interests, including gardening, sewing, bird watching and adding to her many collections of trinkets. She also belonged to the Franklin County Home Dem Group and was a 4-H Leader.
Lise was born in Hardwick, VT January 12, 1935, the daughter of Servand and Hosanna LeBlanc. Lise was a longtime resident of East Highgate and a member of the St. Louis Church. Lise was predeceased by her loving husband, Herve F. Airoldi on August 16, 2007, and her sons, James Robert and Allen Andre. Lise is survived by her children Daniel H.
