We mark with sadness the passing of Vee Gordon on May 21, 2017 in St. Albans.

Verna (Vee to us) was a past President and long-time board member of the LWVVT, most recently in Advocacy and Legislative Issues, including but not limited to civics education, campaign finance reform, and same-day voter registration.

Vee graduated from Massachusetts General Hospital School of Nursing, Boston, where she was a clinical teaching supervisor. She later earned a BA in English at UVM. Highlights of her career history include nursing, co-founder/co-editor of South Burlington's The Other Paper, and Admissions Director at Trinity College, VT.

Because of her passion for civic education in the Vermont schools, and her extensive work with the League of Women Voters, she was invited twice to the White House to share her work with other activists and she was honored by Governor Jim Douglas for this work. Vee loved reading, classical music, and doing the Sunday NY Times crossword puzzles.
