WINOOSKI- Thomas R. Valley, 48, died peacefully in his home in Marietta, Ga. on July 28, 2018 after a brief but courageous second fight against colorectal cancer. He leaves behind his devoted wife of 14 years, Dawn (Heisler) Valley, parents Rod and Jeanne Valley, brothers Tim and Dan, in-laws Jay and Judy Heisler, brother in-laws Hal Heisler, Dwayne Roberts and Josh Crandall, sister in-laws Missy Heisler, Joann Aiken, Nicky Lotowitz and Cassidy Heisler, nephews Hunter Valley, Cole Heisler, William Crandall and Kyle Barnes and nieces Rebecca Valley, Philecia Gile, Jasmin Gile and Meghan Heisler, among other beloved family members and friends.

Thom grew up in Winooski, Vt., and spent many summers at his family’s camp on Lake

Champlain in St. Albans Bay. He attended Winooski High School and the University of Vermont, where he double majored in English and Theatre. Thom started his career as a computer installer at VIP and began studying programming at night because he was interested in startup technology. About four years ago Thom and Dawn moved from Chesterfield, Mo. to Marietta, Ga. where Thom started work at DataStax as a Solutions Engineer. The four years he spent living and working in Marietta were some of the happiest in his life.

Thom was nothing if not a renaissance man, and it showed in his hobbies – his friends knew him as a wine-lover, amateur brewer, masterful chef, and musician. He played the guitar and the piano, and learned new languages and instruments with ease. He was a methodical and daring chef, and spent hours cultivating the perfect sourdough starter or finding the right grind for his espresso. He made a mean Old-Fashion and Manhattan. He was a connoisseur of everything he loved, and because of that, being loved by Thom was an honor and a privilege.

The family would like to thank DataStax for their kindness and generosity during this difficult time, Homestead Hospice of Cartersville for their excellent care, and the many friends, family, and coworkers who reached out and/or visited Thom during his last weeks.

The family will hold a Celebration of Life in memory of Thom in Georgia and Vermont.

Georgia service will be held on Saturday, Aug. 4, 2018, at 6 p.m. at the Strand Theatre, 117 N Park Square, Marietta, GA 30060.

Vermont service will be held on Saturday, Aug 11, 2018 from 2-5 p.m. at the Marriott Courtyard

Burlington, 25 Cherry St., Burlington, VT 05401 in the Harbor Room.

Black attire discouraged but blue shoes and hats encouraged.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Homestead Hope Foundation at www.homesteadhopefoundation.org/donations.html or City of Hope at www.cityofhope.org/giving/donateNg8Sndk9AdxoCLe0QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

ST. ALBANS – Dorothy J. (Driver) Westover, 74, a lifetime area resident, passed away peacefully on Sunday, Aug. 19, 2018, surrounded by loved ones. She was born on June 5, 1944, in St. Albans to the late Frederick and Bernice Driver. On March 2, 1963, she married the love of her life, the late Donald Westover. Together, they had three children who survive her.

Dorothy worked several jobs throughout her life including serving school lunches at St. Albans City School, and for many years she took care of Mt. Calvary and Greenwood cemeteries in St. Albans with the help of Donald. She and Donald also found joy for many years participating in bowling leagues in St. Albans. She found her love of greyhounds later in life. She owned many, and together, she and Donald started Northern Greyhound Adoptions, which they both dedicated their lives to for many, many years.

Dorothy was loved by many people, but none more than her family. She had three children of her own, but also became a mother again later in life to three of her grandchildren; Danielle (Bilodeau) Houston, Nicole (Bilodeau) Lieske, and William Bilodeau. She was very good at playing Grandmother and Mom to them, and knew when each role was needed. For that, there will never be enough words to thank her.

Dorothy is survived by her three children and their spouses; Traci and Ricky Gabree, Susan and Thom Booska, and Donald Jr. (Dino) and Darcy Westover, her eight grandchildren, three great grandchildren, her brother Wendell Driver, sister Reba Lemnah, and brother Maurice Driver.

A celebration of her life will be held at her granddaughter’s home at 18 Brooklyn St, Swanton, VT on Sunday, Sept. 2 at 1 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to Thom Booska, 99 Frances Place Unit 102, Bristol, VT 05443.
