NEW HAVEN — Lisa Marie Bolduc-Wildey passed away peacefully Oct. 2, 2026, at her home in New Haven, in the arms of her loving husband, Tim, and surrounded by family.
A woman of extraordinary strength, Lisa beat cancer twice — in 1988 and again in 1991 — giving her 35 more vibrant years until her diagnosis with Acute Myelodysplastic Syndrome. She lived every day fully and joyfully, especially when she was outdoors.
Lisa was raised on the family dairy farm, where she enjoyed working with the animals doing daily chores and field work side-by-side with her brothers and father. She graduated from Mount Abraham Union High School in 1979 and attended Champlain College for Business. She worked at a local Middlebury insurance agency and then began her 25-year career at Fletcher Allen/UVM.
Lisa had a joyful, adventurous spirit and a quiet determination that inspired everyone around her. An avid pickleball player, runner, and skier, her heart was always at Mad River Glen, her special place. She loved adventures with Tim — hunting, skiing, and riding together on the motorcycle and building their beautiful homes and camp together.
Friends and family will remember her for her bright laugh, her boundless energy, and the way she never hesitated to help anyone who needed it. Her warmth and generosity were felt by everyone who met her. She was a loving wife whose kindness and spirit made a lasting impression on all who knew her.
She leaves behind her husband, Tim, of 36 years; her siblings, Paul, John (Dorothy), Madeline, Eugene (Diane), Monica (David), Albert, and Victor (Kelly); and several nieces and nephews. Lisa was predeceased by her parents, Anthony and Marcelle Bolduc; brother-in-law George Palmer; nephew Shannon Palmer; in-laws, Cliff and Lily Wildey; and brother-in-law Steve Wildey.
The family would like to send a special thank you to Addison County Home Health & Hospice Services for their compassionate care of Lisa.
Honoring Lisa’s wishes, a celebration of her life will be held at Mad River Glen Nov. 8, from 3-6 p.m. Please join us in remembering and celebrating her wonderful life. ◊
