Sherry "Wiggie" Wells Brosseau – 64, a lifelong resident of the Waterbury area, passed away in the comfort of her family on Thursday, October 27, 2016 at the McClure-Miller VNA Respite House in Colchester. Born in Burlington on January 31, 1952, she was the daughter of the late Forrest and Janice R. (Deforge) Woodard. Sherry was previously married to Nathaniel Wells. Sherry was a graduate of Harwood Union High School in Duxbury. In her earlier years she went to work in several vocations that included operating a daycare from her home, driving bus for the Harwood Union School District and working for the State of Vermont. Sherry later went to work as a waitress and bartender for the former Lobster Pot Restaurant in Montpelier as well as the VFW and American Legion Posts in Montpelier. For the past 6 years, Sherry has dedicated innumerable hours of work and volunteerism to the Waterbury American Legion as a bartender and working on events, fundraisers and other activities. Her memberships included a lifetime membership of the VFW Ladies Auxiliary Unit 792 in Montpelier and the Waterbury American Legion Post 59 of Waterbury. In the earlier years of her life she enjoyed swimming and ice-skating, later in life the fun of going to the Casino's but most importantly, the time spent with her family brought her the most joy. Convivial and social, Sherry's effervescence drew people to her. She was a people person in every sense of the word.
