Eileen B. Turgeon, 100, died Sunday, Jan. 25, 2026, at Stoughton House in Windsor, with her family at her side.
Eileen was born January 4, 1926, in Windsor, Vt., a daughter of Eli and Mary (Villenue) Robideau. She attended Windsor schools and was married to John J. Turgeon on July 21, 1948, in Windsor. Together they made their home in Windsor, where they raised their family.
Eileen found joy in life’s simple pleasures, including thrifting and scratching lottery tickets. She also enjoyed watching old movies. Her greatest joy, however, came from spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
She was predeceased by her husband, John Turgeon; four brothers, Royal, James, George, and Harold Robideau; and four sisters, Jeanette Alexander, Louise Thomas, Bernadette Young, and Theresa Messier.
She is survived by two daughters, Sandra Anderson (Thomas) of Windsor and Patricia Davis of Springfield, Vt.; five grandchildren, Creed Anderson of Windsor, Vt., Lance Anderson of E. Thetford, Vt., Shannon (Shawn) Larkin of Windsor, Vt., and Kirk (Sara) Anderson from Mt. Martha, Australia, Cochena Davis of Windsor, Vt.; and eight great-grandchildren, William, Noah, Rhys, and Rhett Anderson, Cole Anderson, Kalem Larkin, and Henry and Lucy Anderson.
We would like to express our appreciation to all the staff at Stoughton House that took such good care of our Mother and Bayada Hospice for caring for her.
