LUANN BOUTIN

STARKSBORO — LuAnn Boutin, a beloved resident of Starksboro, Vt., passed away peacefully in her home on Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2025. Born on May 30, 1954, in Barre, she was the daughter of Perley and Colleen Hudson Goslant Jr. of Plainfield, Vt.

LuAnn’s interests and passions included crafting, puzzles, diamond dots, and playing cards.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Mark, and three children: David, Douglas, and Elizabeth, whom she shared with her late ex-husband, Philip Lee. Additionally, she was the grandmother of four wonderful grandchildren: Jocelyn, Braeden, Hunter and Evan.

Her life was complex, and her relationships reflected that. While she is no longer with us, she leaves behind children and family who carry forward with resilience, compassion, and strength. Through life’s challenges, they have grown in ways that honor their own stories and futures.

The family will gather privately to remember, reflect and support one another during this difficult time. A celebration of life will be planned for next summer, where we will come together to celebrate LuAnn.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that kindness be extended to others and that love be shown in everyday acts. To send online condolences to her family, please visit www.brownmcclayfuneralhomes.com. ◊
