Coralyn Wescott

Coralyn Wescott was a fiercely independent woman who loved gardening, baking and line-dancing. She was born in Burlington, raised in Essex and for most of her life, stayed around those towns. Her daughter Robin Wescott says her mom was her best friend.

"We would go garage-saling, we would do a lot. We’d take rides up through Smugglers Notch and stop and have lunch. And sometimes my friends were with us, and we got together with them. Even on my mom’s birthday we would all get together for my mother’s birthday. There were times we took her out with us, a number of times we took her out dancing with us, because my mother loved to dance, and she would go with myself and all my friends, ‘cause I was single. She was like, part of the group."

Coralyn Wescott died on April 21, 2020 at Birchwood Terrace. She was 91.
