Maryann E. Allcroft passed away on January 25, 2022 in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts, at the age of 84. Maryann is survived by three of her children: Kevin and his wife Kay of Orrington, Maine; Kristian and his wife Dawn of Barrington, Illinois: Alissa Barrow and her husband Robert of Enfield, Connecticut; four grandchildren: Kyle Allcroft, Kody Allcroft and wife Kelsey, Jacqueline Barrow, and Sophia Allcroft; her sister Elizabeth Frost of Andover; and her brother Gil Emery and wife Ruth of Woodstock Vermont.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Richard (Dick) Allcroft; her son, Stephen Allcroft; and her brother-in-law, Tim Frost.

Maryann was born on July 14, 1937, in Claremont, New Hampshire. She graduated from Woodstock High School in 1955 and went on to attend Burdett Junior College in Boston, Massachusetts. 

Maryann loved jazz music, playing the piano, swimming, ice skating, old movies, gardening, birds, waterfalls, family vacations, and Vermont. While raising her four children, she worked in the West Hartford, Connecticut school system and later happily worked at El Hogar to provide low-cost housing in Hartford, Connecticut.

Next, she worked at the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving for many years. In 2005, Maryann was overjoyed to return to her beloved Vermont, purchasing a home in Perkinsville, where she lived until January 2019. She was also active in the Woodstock High School alumni association. 

A Celebration of Life will be held in Vermont later this year. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Woodstock Community Food Shelf in Woodstock, Vermont.
