Ange-Aimee Martin formerly of Middlebury, died peacefully on September 22, 2018 at the age of 88. She was born in St-Isidore de Prescott, Ontario, Canada to Aime and Gracia (Quesnel) Seguin on December 15, 1929. When Angie was nine months old her parents moved to Whiting, Vermont to start a dairy farm, where Angie spent her younger years.
She graduated from Middlebury High School in 1945. She married Fernand Martin in 1949 and they shared over 69 years together and raised three children. Angie is remembered fondly for the three loves that helped defined her throughout her life: family, faith, and her dedication to books and learning.
She cherished her many years working at the Ilsley Public Library from 1960 until her retirement in 1984. During her last 14 years as Ilsley’s full-time head librarian book, circulation grew substantially and the number of card holders increased by more than 150%. Angie’s love of books and libraries began in early childhood and continued throughout her life and included her volunteer efforts after retirement.
In 1984 Angie and Fernand moved to Port Orange, Florida, where they lived for 27 years. They continued to nurture their strong familial and personal connections to the Middlebury area by visiting for several weeks every summer. During retirement Angie enjoyed travel, genealogy, reading (in both English and French), and church activities.
She was an active member of St. Mary’s Church of the Assumption in Middlebury and Church of the Epiphany in Port Orange. In 2011, Angie and Fernand moved to the Boston area to be close to their children and grandchildren. She is survived by her husband, Fernand, of Belmont, MA, her son Andre Martin and partner Melanie Wallace of Newton MA, her daughter Michele Martin and partner Elaine Daley of Boston MA, her daughter Diane Martin and partner Ronald Moulton of Cambridge MA, three grandchildren, Jenna Moulton of Boston MA, Silas Moulton of San Francisco CA, and Samantha Wallace Martin of Malden MA, and her sister Anita Bilodeau of Brandon, Vermont, plus many nieces, nephews and their families.
