SHIRLEY (BARUP) SLAYTON
CAMBRIDGE - Shirley (Barup) Slayton, 75, of Cambridge passed away on Jan. 1, 2006, while attended by her devoted and loving family.
Born in Belvidere, Vt. on Feb. 21, 1930, Shirley was the daughter of the late Austin and Eva (McNall) Barup. She attended the Belvidere one room schoolhouse and graduated in 1947 from Cambridge High School. On June 24, 1947, she married Wendall Powell Slayton of Belvidere, Vt. and settled in Jeffersonville, where they began raising their family of nine children, later moving to their large farmhouse on the Hogback Road near Waterville.
Shirley’s true passion in life was as a devoted mother. She held a very special place in her heart for each of her nine children, 21 grandchildren, and 19 great-grandchildren. Shirley’s love was unlimited and unconditional and will be dearly missed by everyone who knew her.
Shirley was the cornerstone of the Slayton family. Her leadership inspired all to unite in strength to face life’s challenges. She taught that life’s obstacles likely occur for good reason, and to always have faith in God’s plan. Above all, to be honest, respectful, and appreciate the lives of others.
Shirley was in her glory when holding a baby in her arms, she had a heavenly touch and the smile on her face was priceless. Strangers quickly became friends, and she touched the hearts of countless people.
Shirley’s home always featured delicious and festive meals, often served for 50 or more immediate family members at holiday gatherings. Her corn chowder and homemade pies are a family tradition, and were always served with lots of hugs, kisses, and laughter. She was also a talented knitter and seamstress crafting items from mittens to formal wedding dresses. Her cherished Christmas stockings will adorn the hearth of many homes for years to come and her quilts will lay upon her family’s beds reminding them each night of her endless love.
For decades Shirley and her late husband Wendall attended their daughter’s softball games, proudly encouraging them as their biggest fans. The same devotion ensured that she never overlooked a family graduation, birthday or anniversary.
Shirley was a member of the Waterville Union Church and the Order of the Eastern Stars, Johnson Chapter 65, and is survived by two sons, six daughters, and their families. They include: Lonnie and wife, Mary of Johnson, their daughters, Danielle (Slayton) and husband, Brandon Currier and their daughters, twins Kristen and Katelyn Slayton Tirrito, and Brianna and Aleah Currier. Jennifer Slayton and her daughter Erica.
Kim and wife, Jill and son, Will of Port Orange, Fla. and son Dylan, Brooke, and Paige Slayton of Hyde Park.
Emma Jean and husband Dale Ingalls of Eden. Their son Eric and wife Linda and children Kyle, Tacoma and Cheyenne Ingalls and Leah and Jade Mayo. Their daughter Jodi and husband Jason Earle and children Jenna, Jacob and Jordan.
Penny Slayton Lynaugh of Essex Junction and her four children, Nicole (Locke) and husband Paul Carney and their children Elise, Jack and Seth. Kylee (Locke) and husband Bart Bezio and their twins Caleb and Meghan, and Lindsay and Tyler Lynaugh.
Dawn Slayton of Morrisville and her children Heidi (Miller) and husband Mike Storm, Amanda, David and Charlotte Miller.
Ann Slayton and Ken Coons of Waterville and her sons Jason and Tony Tuthill, and Tony’s son, Dylan.
Debbie Slayton and Ken Harvey of Hyde Park.
Lisa and husband Keith Glover of Fletcher and their children Devon, Abbey and Austin.
Shirley is also survived by her sister, Evadeen Slayton of Belvidere, who fondly referred to her as “Honey Girl.” She is also survived by her sister-in-law, Doris Barup of Johnson; brother-in-law, Richard Slayton of Connecticut; and sister-in-law, Betty Slayton of Connecticut; two special nephews, Charles “Chappy” Slayton and wife, Sandra of Florida, and Dwight “Chuck” Slayton and wife, Shirley of Belvidere; and other relatives in Vermont, New Hampshire, Florida and California.
Shirley was predeceased by her husband Wendall Powell Slayton in 2000; a son, Wendall “Skip” Slayton II in 1974; and an infant daughter, Lori Slayton in 1964. She was also predeceased by two sisters and four brothers: Emma Richard, Bernice Slayton, Clyde and Claude Barup, Ray Barup and Herbert “Joe” Barup.
Shirley’s late wishes were to especially thank her four “Special Angels, ” her daughter Ann, grandsons Tony and Austin, and her granddaughter Kylee for their support, love and laughter over the last few years, which made her life much brighter.
