NORWAY — JoAnn Sylvia Cotnoir, 50, of Oxford, died unexpectedly on Saturday, July 10, at Stephens Memorial Hospital.

She was born JoAnn Sylvia Pothier, April 25, 1960, in Connecticut, to Andre and Marielle Pothier, of Quebec, Canada. The family later moved to Northern Vermont, where she was raised with her three brothers and sister.

JoAnn graduated from North Country High School in 1976. She married Claude Cotnoir and together they quickly began to start a family of their own. By 1979, she was blessed with two wonderful daughters. Soon after, the family made a move to Oxford, where her two sons were born in the years to follow. She was a devoted wife and very proud mother of her four children.

JoAnn enjoyed being a Mary Kay consultant for more than 15 years. She was kind-hearted, fun-loving, very giving, and always family oriented. She was always willing to go the extra mile and lend a hand whenever she could. She was loved by all who knew her.

JoAnn loved taking vacations with her family, snowmobiling, hiking, camping, outings to different attractions, visiting family, and relaxing at the ocean.

She is survived by her husband, Claude; four children, Diane, Marie, Marc and Derek Cotnoir; brothers, Andreo, Serge and Mario Pothier; and sister, Sue Pion.
