Marjorie
Augusta Lincoln Carsen, 80, passed away on November 12, 2024,
surrounded by family and friends, after succumbing to a year-long
battle with cancer.
Marjorie
was born in Hartford, Conn., on May 31, 1944, to Alfred and Mildred
(Bostrom) Lincoln. Marjorie graduated from Smith College and earned
her medical degree from the State University of New York Downstate,
with a specialty in psychiatry. She was a practicing psychiatrist in
both New York and Vermont.
Prior
to her illness, she lived in Bristol, Vt., where she was an active
member of the Champlain Valley Unitarian Universalist Society. As a
lover of classical music, she found tremendous joy singing with the
CVUUS Choir and the Middlebury College Community Chorus. Throughout
her life, she also enjoyed traveling, gardening and good meals with
friends and family. She was graceful on the ski slopes and was known
to finish the hardest New York Times crossword puzzles in ink,
while half-watching the news.
Marjorie
is survived by her brother, John Lincoln (Jill Stevens); her sons,
Daniel (Talene Yacoubian) and Adam (Jennifer Vivolo-Carsen); and four
grandchildren, Jonathan, Lucine, Ryan and Mayri.
Her
family is deeply grateful to the nurses and staff at the Residence at
Quarry Hill in South Burlington and to her care team at the
University of Vermont Medical Center’s Department of Gynecologic
Oncology for the dedication, professionalism and kindness they showed
to Marjorie throughout her illness.
Family
and friends will gather for a memorial service at the CVUUS on a
future date.
