MARJORIE L. CARSEN

BRISTOL — Marjorie Augusta Lincoln Carsen passed away on Nov. 12, 2024, at the age of 80, surrounded by family and friends after succumbing to a year-long battle with cancer. Marjorie was born in Hartford, Conn., on May 31, 1944, to Alfred and Mildred (Bostrom) Lincoln. Marjorie graduated from Smith College and earned her medical degree from the State University of New York Downstate with a specialty in psychiatry.

She was a practicing psychiatrist in both New York and Vermont. Prior to her illness, she lived in Bristol, Vt., where she was an active member of the Champlain Valley Unitarian Universalist Society. A lover of classical music, she found tremendous joy singing with the CVUUS Choir and the Middlebury College Community Chorus. Throughout her life she also enjoyed traveling, gardening, and good meals with friends and family. She was graceful on the ski slopes and was known to finish the hardest New York Times crossword puzzles in ink while half-watching the news.

Marjorie is survived by her brother, John Lincoln (Jill Stevens); her sons, Daniel (Talene Yacoubian) and Adam (Jennifer Vivolo-Carsen); and four grandchildren, Jonathan, Lucine, Ryan, and Mayri.

Her family is deeply grateful to the nurses and staff at the Residence at Quarry Hill in South Burlington, and to her care team at the University of Vermont Medical Center’s Department of Gynecologic Oncology for the dedication, professionalism, and kindness they showed to Marjorie throughout her illness.

Family and friends will gather for a memorial service at the CVUUS on a future date. Please feel free to share your memories of Marjorie in the Memory Wall. ◊
