<p></p>
<p>Judith Ann (Heather) Ayotte passed away on March 31, 2014. She was born April 9, 1938, in Racine, Wis.</p>
<p>After raising their three children in Racine, and Ewen, Mich., Judy and her husband James (Jim) moved from Iron Mountain, Mich., to Sun City Center in 2002. She enjoyed crafting, gardening and bird-watching. She adored spending time playing cards with her friends. Judy doted on her pet cat Sneaks. She spent many hours volunteering for her local community, most recently at the Sun City Center Emergency Squad.</p>
<p>Judy was preceded in death by James, her loving husband of 55 years; her parents Andrew and Margaret Heather; and brother Lauren.</p>
<p>Judy is survived by sister Ruth (Tony) of Racine; brother James of Scottsdale, Ariz.; daughter Tracy (Greg) of Ocoee Fla.; sons James (Tammy) of Belleair Bluffs, Fla., and Benjamin (Laura) of Colorado Springs, Colo.; grandsons Jacob (Amy), Christopher (Kari), Jed (Brittany), Blaine, Carter, Griffin and Hayden; great-granddaughters Quinn, Kinley and Tinsley; and greatgrandsons Nicholas and Kyle. She will be greatly missed by family and friends. A private family memorial is planned.</p>
<p>In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Sun City Center Emergency Squad, 720 Ray Watson Drive, Sun City Center, FL 33573.</p>
<p><span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino; font-size: medium;"><strong>Yvette (Dutilly) Gagnon</strong></span></p>
<p>Yvette D. Gagnon died March 29, 2014, in Sun City Center, Fla., after a long illness. Born September 10, 1917, in Springfield, Mass., Yvette was the fourth born of six sisters. A childhood illness left her with a serious hearing loss in both ears that persisted throughout her life. With a combination of personal effort, family support and improvements in technology, she learned to cope with her hearing deficit and lived a long and varied life. </p>
<p>Yvette married Henry C. Gagnon in 1940. They were married for 65 years, until Henry’s death in 2006. Yvette traveled throughout this country and to Japan to be with her husband during his military duty in World War II and Korea. She focused her attention on being a homemaker, raising her family and supporting her husband’s career that culminated with his appointment as Assistant Postmaster in Springfield, Mass. In their retirement, Yvette and Henry moved to Kings Point in Sun City Center, traveled widely and played a great deal of golf. It was said by many that “Yvette’s putter must have eyes!” because of her unerring putting accuracy. </p>
<p>Tended by LifePath Hospice personnel and her sons for the last days of her life, Yvette died quietly at the Homewood Residence Assisted Living Facility in Sun City Center. She is survived by sons Thomas (Janet) and Douglas (Denise); grandchildren Eric (Melissa), Robert (Eugina), Thomas (Sheila), Christopher (Chelsea) Gagnon and Catherine (Owen) Gagnon Osborn; and great-grandchildren Justin, Nathan, Anna, Jake, Ryleigh, Carter, Foster Gagnon and Charlotte Osborn.</p>
<p>Services will be held at Arlington National Cemetery at a date to be determined.</p>
