• Notes

  Rutland Herald (VT) April 19, 2004 LONDONDERRY - Joyce Ann Rowley, 73, passed away on April 13, 2004, at Springfield Hospital, Springfield, Vt., from complications associated with COPD. A native Vermonter, she was born in Springfield on December 20, 1930 as the older of two daughters to the late Adna and Beatrice (Simonds) White. Upon the untimely death of their mother, Alta Roberts, who later owned the Yesterday Shop (an antique shop) took care of the young sisters. To Joyce she became known as "Nurse Jane" and to Joyce's children and her grandchildren as "Nanny." Joyce received her elementary education in Chester and Londonderry and graduated from Chester High School as part of the class of '48. She married Howard Rowley in the fall of the same year. Joyce enjoyed gardening, antiques, reading and spending time with friends and family. She was a life-long learner with a keen mind and kept informed on current issues. She was always eager to debate you on issues, especially if she could prove you wrong, which invariably she did. Joyce will be remembered by many for being among the first Vermont ski instructors at the Cub Ski School at Stratton, for baking pies for the Vermont Country Store, or for running the Green Mountain Lodge with her husband Howard. Joyce was also the manager of the Bowl Mill Gift Shop in Londonderry in the early seventies and later made use of her business skills and her keen interest in antiques when she and Howard fulfilled a dream by opening their own shop, The Weary Woodchuck, outside Londonderry. In later years, Joyce and Howard had a house checking business and owned, and operated Howard Rowley Real Estate. During their retirement years, the couple spent winters as "Snowbirds" in Florida and returned to the Green Mountains to enjoy their summers. Joyce will be remembered for her deep concern for young people and their education and for her dedication to the well-being of her own family. For more than twenty years, she showed her dedication to the educational community by serving as a member of the Flood Brook School Board and by working in the school with students with special needs. Many parents and students remember her fondly for going the extra mile and supplying a work experience for a child who needed to learn about money or arranging for a Peterbilt to arrive at school because a child was reading about trucks. Joyce emphasized the positives in her life and it was her fondest wish for her own children and grandchildren that they come to appreciate who they were and what they had. Joyce is survived by two sons, Howard R. Rowley, Jr. (Butch) and his wife Anne and family Eva and Nikolas, Londonderry, Vt., Michael E. Rowley and his wife Beth and family Rheannon and Ian, Waterbury, Vt., a daughter, Cindy Rowley King and family Lisa and Harley, Margate, Fla., a sister, Janet (White) Cloutman, Lecanto, Fla., in addition to many other devoted family members and friends. She was predeceased by her husband, Howard and their son, Jeffrey.
