Marc David Melen was born in Rutland on St. Patrick's Day, 1955, the second of four (4) sons born to Bernard Godfrey Melen and Dorcas Peck Melen. A lifelong Rutland resident, Marc attended Southeast School, Immaculate Heart of Mary School, and graduated from Rutland High School. After graduation, like many Rutland residents of the time, Marc went to work for the Howe Scale Company. When that closed, Marc was subsequently employed by Tambrands, Mal Tool, and a number of machine shops, finally finishing his machinist's career at MetroMail in Rutland Town. As a second career, Marc became well-known as a bartender around Rutland, working at some point for almost all the bars which comprised Rutland's nightlife. Then, as Marc became older and quieter, his last career was working for a number of convenience stores around Rutland, finally retiring from Circle K on Woodstock Avenue where he was a recognized face. Marc was a lifelong sports fan, never finding a sport he wouldn't participate in, or at least watch. Though literally the smallest in his family while growing up, Marc played varsity baseball, football, and basketball for his school teams from elementary through High School. Weekends would see his parents driving Marc to wherever the Rutland High School teams were playing, with his father and mother on the stands to cheer Marc and the team on! When not participating in the school teams, Marc would participate in intramural sports, league bowling at the Bowlerama, or at home, or one of his friends' homes, watching professional sports. Marc was a diehard fan of the Boston Red Sox and the New York Giants, he and his friends were known for driving down to the Boston area for several days at a time during the summer to attend home games at Fenway. Marc literally knew every professional player and would happily not only identify each player by name, but could share the players' statistics, strengths, and weaknesses with anyone who would listen, which often resulted in lively discussions with family, friends, and customers of his bartending. Marc is survived by his older brother Laurence (Larry), of Quechee, his younger brother, Scott, of Waitsfield, nephew Matthew Melen and his wife, Anna, and his three (3) grandnephews Mason, Lukas, and Kaleb, and numerous Peck and Melen cousins. Marc is also survived by his lifelong friends Christopher and Theresa O'Connor, participating in their wedding ceremony and standing as godparent to their son and daughter, and manager and friend Betsy Anderson, who along with numerous friends dating back to school days were Marc's extended family while he was living alone in Rutland.

Barbara LassenRUTLAND - Barb Lassen, 70, passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 17, 2023, at Rutland Regional Medical Center after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born in Paterson, New Jersey on September 8, 1953, to William Shenise and Theresa (Ramiccio) Shenise. She graduated from West Milford High School. She went on to spend the majority of her career in banking. Towards the end of her career and into the start of her retirement she found much joy serving as the Stage Manager for The Paramount Players as well as Stage Manager and most recently the Creative Director for Rutland Youth Theatre. She was extremely passionate about theater and how it benefited everyone involved from actors to patrons and everyone in between. She was a firm believer that theater opened doors for actors in all aspects of their life and there was nothing she loved more than watching them step out of their comfort zones and grow into their confidence both on and off the stage. Barb placed an emphasis on dedicating her time and energy to all of her relationships whether it be with family, friends, customers at the bank or even strangers. She always had a smile on her face and was there for anyone whenever they needed her whether they needed a confidant, a shoulder to cry on, advice, encouragement or even just a Barb hug. She loved with all of her heart, was a role model to everyone and her laugh was infectious. Time with her family and friends was the most precious to her. Her two daughters were her world along with her grandbabies. Barb's favorite place on earth was at the beach, soaking in the warmth of the sun, listening to the crash of the waves and sipping wine with her sister Sharon, while filling their pockets with seashells. When we were growing up, the sounds of their laughter on family trips was music to our souls. She also loved spending time in her gardens, countless hours in her craft room, camping at Lake Bomoseen, watching the Yankees and her beloved Hallmark movies. She was the biggest cheerleader for her daughters in every aspect of their lives whether cheering from the sidelines at field hockey games or encouraging them to always chase their dreams. She was always there no matter what and she put her whole heart into everything she did. She was the definition of selfless. She leaves behind her husband and soulmate of 23 years, Paul Lassen best known to her as "Lassen", her daughters Katie (Jeff) Cary and Haley Lassen, her bonus daughters Jennifer (Jason) Rapcynski, Lisa (Doug) Sisson, Christina (David) Dombkiewicz, her grandchildren Collins Cary, Crew Cary, Hadley Rapczynski, Esmeralda Sisson, Isabella Sisson, Roman Dombkiewicz and Evangelina Dombkiewicz, her sister Jennifer (Matthew) Packard, her soul sister Sharon Rishell, nieces, nephews, cousins, chosen family and her beautiful community. Barb was predeceased by her parents. . A Celebration of Life will be planned for late October with details to be shared by the family in the coming weeks. In lieu of flowers, we ask that donations in Barb's memory be made to Rutland Recreation and Parks Department, Attn: Rutland Youth Theatre, 134 Community Drive, Rutland, VT 05701. Please include "In Memory of Barb Lassen" in your check memo. We will also have an option to make donations online at www. rutlandrec. com/ryt starting 10/2/23.Show more
