Robert B. Falconer

January 26, 1947 - July 3, 2021

NEWARK, VT – Robert B. Falconer, 74, formally of Canaan, died at the home of his caregiver in Newark, Vt., on Saturday evening, July 3, 2021, while gazing out the window at the beautiful Vermont mountains. Robert was born in West Stewartstown on January 26, 1947, to William Bruce and Lucille (Marsh) Falconer. Robert’s birth mother passed when he was a baby and he was raised and cared for by his stepmother, Lena, for many years. Every member of the family, many friends, and care givers were the recipient of one of Robert’s hooked rugs, his favorite pastime. He also enjoyed puzzles and watching the chickens at the home of his caregiver. Surviving Robert are his siblings, John and wife Lindy, Clare and husband Gary, and many nieces and nephews, as well as a number of great-nieces and great-nephews. Robert was predeceased by his father William B., birth mother Lucille, stepmother Lena, and his sister Shirley Peterson. The family would like to thank Justin Letourneau of Northeast Kingdom Human Services for his wonderful friendship and guidance given as Robert progressed through the later part of his life. Special thank you goes to his most recent caregiver, Deborah Stewart, and her son, with whom he developed a special bond and who gave him excellent care for the last months of his life. There are no public calling hours or services. There will be a family celebration of life at a later date. Condolences may be offered to the family on-line by going to www.jenkinsnewman.com. Arrangements are entrusted to the care of Jenkins & Newman Funeral Home, Colebrook, NH.
