Ada Marchegiani Libardi

Ada Marchegiani Libardi, 99, of Readsboro, VT passed away peacefully on May 5, 2022 at home with her family. Ada was born on December 9, 1922 on Grinka Farm Drive, in Readsboro, VT to Celso & Teresa (Colo) Marchegiani. She attended school in Readsboro. Ada worked at Wall-Streeter Shoes in North Adams, MA and the Readsboro Chair Co. In 1949 she married Eugene (Geno) Libardi of Chester, MA, and they began their life together in Readsboro, VT. He was her rock, her partner and the love of her life. In 1959 their son, Mike Libardi was born. After the death of her sister, Dirce, in 1961, their family expanded. She and Geno welcomed their three nieces and two nephews into their family and raised them as their own. Things could get a little crazy with 10 people living in one house, but she wouldn't have had it any other way. Ada was a member of the St. Anne's Club at St. Joachim's Church. She enjoyed gardening with her husband, card parties at the church, large family gatherings, and the Here-You-Are gang. She loved making jellies and jams from the berries she grew in her garden. In her younger years, she loved parties with music & dancing. She cared for and helped raise three generations of loved ones, and her family was always her main priority in life. To know Ada was to love her. She welcomed everyone into her home with a smile and the offer of a home cooked meal. Ada leaves behind her son, Mike Libardi of Readsboro, VT and his partner in life Sandra Milesi; her adopted children, Earlene Lefebvre of Readsboro, VT, Robert (& Susan) Sanderson of Readsboro, VT, Faun (& George) Trumble of Summerton, SC, and Gloria Quinn of Englewood, FL; six grandchildren, Charlotte Clark of Readsboro, VT, Lisa Noyes of Halifax, VT, Ryan Sanderson of Swanton, VT, Colby Quinn of Byram Township, NJ, Caitlyn Boyd of Readsboro, VT, and Jesse Quinn of Englewood, FL; and nine great-grandchildren. Ada was predeceased in death by her loving husband, Eugene Libardi in 2014; her adopted son, Earl "Herbie" Sanderson; her grandson, Matthew; her son-in-law Robert Lefebvre and John Quinn; her sister, Dirce Sanderson; and her brothers Norman Marchegiani, Tullio Marchegiani and Joseph Marchegiani.
