Sheffield VT - Terrie Lee Sable, of Sheffield VT, passed away Wednesday morning July 20, 2016 at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. Terrie was 65 years old. She had been sick for one month with a tear in her aorta. She had surgery at Dartmouth-Hitchcock on July 14 and was recovering very well in the intensive care unit but she died suddenly early in the morning of July 20, 2016.

Terrie was born on November 17, 1950 in Racine, Wisconsin. She attended Horlick High School in Racine and then two years of college at the University of Wisconsin in Oshkosh. She worked as a company representative for US Tobacco and for an optical company. In 1987 she was injured in an automobile accident that left her disabled due to arthritis and pain in her back and neck. On good days she could be active for part of the day, although she often needed to spend the day resting due to pain.

Terrie loved quilting and she developed her own style using small fabric hexagons and squares. She gave away dozens of her quilts, wall hangings and placemats. She was a warm and generous person who enjoyed sharing what she had and giving things to others in need.

Terrie was an avid reader especially of historical books about English monarchs, American Indians and the Old West. She read from the Bible frequently.

Terrie loved animals, including cats, dogs, birds and fish. She was a volunteer at the Spay and Neuter clinic at Pope Memorial Frontier Animal Shelter in Orleans, VT. She had a green thumb and kept her home decorated with houseplants and flower gardens.

Terrie is survived by her husband Jeremiah Sable of Sheffield, VT, her daughter Grace Rodriguez in Racine, WI, her mother Mary Roskilly in Valdosta, GA, her brother John Roskilly in Valdosta, GA, and her brother Glenn Roskilly in Oconomowoc, WI.

Special thanks is given to the staff at Dartmouth-Hitchock Medical Center and at North Country Hospital.
