A. Peter Dearborn ’61

A. PETER DEARBORN, Brattleboro, VT, died April 12, 2023. Peter earned a degree in mathematics from Saint Michael’s shortly before he married Mary Corbeil in June 1961; they had five children. Peter dreamed of flying with the Air Force, but due to hearing complications, he pursued another career. Among other endeavors, Peter worked at Peerless Insurance in Keene, NH, as the head of the data processing division when computers were still in their infancy. Beyond his work, Peter’s true passion was that of an artisan. He enjoyed woodworking, carpentry, and upholstery. Peter married his second wife, Collette Desmarais, who had two children. They resided in Swanzey, NH, until her passing in 2018. In his free time, Peter loved to water-ski and camp. Never a disciplinarian, he preferred to lead by quiet example. He believed that it is better to use your creativity to make the world a better place, as was evident in his many handmade gifts and restoration projects. Peter is survived by his former wife, Mary C. Rivers; children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and extended family
