Lyndonville, VT: Winona E. Nutter, age 99, formerly of Little France Road in Barnett, passed away at the Pine Rehab & Health Center in Lyndonville, VT, on July 2, 2022, where she resided the past four years.

Winona was born on January 2, 1923, in Easton, NH, and grew up there, the daughter to the late Maynard Roy and Dora (Greenwood) Clark.  She was one of 14 kids growing up on the farm. On June 1, 1941, she married Melvin Nutter and shared almost 66 years at the time of his passing on February 22, 2007.  They made their home on the farm in Barnet raising their 3 children where she was a homemaker.  Winona never learned how to drive a car and didn’t run the tractor much either, but worked the farm, nonetheless.  She enjoyed making crafts, going camping and was member of the Home Dem Club.  She was a past member of the Barnet Center Church, had many pets throughout the years, including a crow and a coon.  The farm was sold in ’78 and they remained in Barnet until Melvin’s passing.  She then resided at the Colonial Apartments for a number of years, prior to entering the Pines.
