Flora Fairbanks

Flora Fairbanks, 89, of Georgia, Vermont, died on April 5, 2023, following a brief
illness. She was born on July 1, 1933 in Portsmouth, NH to the late Wendall and Laura
Watters.

On September 3, 1955, Flora married Raeburn M. Fairbanks. They own Cloverleaf Farm
in Georgia, Vermont, where they raised their six children. Flora was also a registered
nurse, and was the Georgia Elementary School nurse for 27 years.
Flora was predeceased by her husband Raeburn, sister Martha Stone and brother
Gregory Watters, daughter in law Dori Fairbanks, sons in law David Dixon and Bruce
Bromley; nephews Charles Edwards and Merritt Edwards; and nieces Linda Butler and
Kathy Painter.

She is survived by her six children: Rebecca Fairbanks, Laurie (Marc) Vien, Gail Dixon,
Wendy (John) St. Amour, Raeburn Michael Fairbanks, and Kenneth Fairbanks; two
grandchildren: Amanda (Ty) Mason, and Jayden Giroux; six great-grandchildren:
Zachary Garvey, Easton Garvey, Mariah Sears, Drew Sears, Renly Mason, and Raelen
Mason; and three great-great grandchildren: Malaki Garvey, Dakota Garvey, and Lucas
Garvey; and her beloved dog Kallie.
Flora loved life, and lived it to the fullest. It gave her great joy to spend time with her
family, and anybody that knew Flora knew how much she also loved flowers, birds, and
animals.

To honor her memory, the family is planning a Celebration of Life for later this summer.
