Kristin Michelle Witter, 41, of Groton, Vt., died on Monday, June 30, 2025, at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, leaving behind her two young children, Ayriana and Trevor, whom she loved with all her heart.
Kristin was born on December 6, 1983, in Fort Lewis, Wash., the daughter of Lynn McClintock Witter and Michael Witter. She was a graduate of Lyndon Institute, class of 2002. After graduating, she entered the nursing program at Lyndon State College while working at the Pines Nursing Home. She had an instant connection with the elderly. She continued that connection at the Horse Meadow Senior Center, where she volunteered, many times bringing her daughter along.
Kristin enjoyed going on long walks, spending time at home tending to her gardens, and being with family and friends. She was a grateful person and appreciated the small things in life. She was genuine, with a kind heart and joyful sense of humor. She was downright fun and loved to laugh.
She is also survived by her mother, Lynn M. Witter, of Burlington, whom she was so grateful for; her longtime partner, Chad Pierson, of Groton; two brothers, Darren Martin and wife Jen of Burlington, and Justin Witter of Burlington; and her grandmother, Celia McClintock, of Burlington, who turned 100 years old in June.
Survivors also include her second mother, Deb Foster (Mike Cassidy), with whom she was very close, and several aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews and a niece. Kristin had many friends who will miss her.
Kristin is predeceased by her grandfather, John McClintock; her father, Michael Witter; and her brother Jeremy Witter, whom she was very close to.
A graveside service will be held on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, 2 p.m., at Lakeview Cemetery, North Ave., Burlington, with a celebration of Kristin’s life to follow.
