ENOSBURGH - Bruce R. Deming, age 81, husband of Virginia (Sylvester) Deming, passed away Wednesday, October 16, 2013 at the St. Albans Healthcare & Rehab Facility.
He was born November 1, 1931 in Easten, New Hampshire the son of the late Roscoe A. & Irene (Bovat) Deming.
Bruce grew up on the Longley Bridge Road where his parents opened their home to many foster children. He was a 1951 graduate of Enosburg Falls High School. He married Virginia Sylvester on July 6, 1952 and in that same year they purchased his fathers farm. A lifelong farmer, Bruce loved his animals, working the land, especially being in the woods and sugaring. He also loved raising bees, hunting, fishing, weekend rides that never took the same route home, and searching for four leaf clovers. He will be remembered for his great sense of humor and his quick wit. Due to the hardships of farming in the 60s Bruce turned to carpentry, working for Maurice Roy Carpentry from 1966-1970 working on many homes in the area. In 1970 due to his current health issues at that time, Bruce decided to go back to farming so his family would have the same opportunities he did.. He was a former member of the Grange and the Enosburgh Center Memorial Church.
He is survived by his wife Virginia (Sylvester) Deming; his children, James Deming of Enosburgh, Cynthia Goodman of St. Albans, Patricia Broe and her husband Timothy of Sheldon, Glenn Deming and his wife Donna of Enosburgh and Gary Deming of Enosburgh; his grandchildren, Lucas Scott, Nicole Marie, Richard Bruce, Alisha, Bobbie Joe, Travis Kami & Jerrica ; his great grandchildren, Jaden, Adelina, Emmett, Sonni, Jackson, Brianna, Eliza & Jasmine, and a 9th great grandchild expected in April; his brother, Maurice Deming and his wife Dorothy of Lisbon, NH; many nieces and nephews.
