Barbara A. Vigsnes

June 12, 1936 — November 1, 2024

Barbara Andrews Vigsnes passed away, with her husband of 67 years by her side, on November 1, 2024.

Born to Grace LaMar and Charles Andrews on June 12, 1936, she grew up with her two younger sisters and best friends in Ballston Spa, NY. Barbara attended St. Lawrence University, majoring in Psychology and meeting her future husband, Birger. She was a Kappa. He was a Beta. They raised three children and lived in Bennington, VT for 45 years. Barbara was an elementary school teacher and involved in the community. She was proud of her time as a member of the Bennington Reparatory Board and had also been a member of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church. Barbara was honest, funny, thoughtful, curious, creative and always led with her heart. For the past ten years, she and Birger have lived in Shelburne, VT to be closer to their family.

Remembering Barbara are her husband, children and grandchildren: Susan (Briar Alpert) and children Sage and Carly; Elizabeth (Alan Bates - deceased) and children Natalie (Drew Hayes), Lydia (Jonathan) and Audrey (Evan); Erik (Kristen) and son Ryder. Barbara was happy to have met her great-grandson, Ryder Hayes. Barbara is also survived by her sister Carrie Harlan and family, as well as nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends.

She was predeceased by her sister Mary Jane Andrews.

The family will gather at a later date. We would like to acknowledge the tender care provided by The Arbors during the last few months of Barbara’s life.
