Shadow Lake in Glover, Vermont has lost a decades-long year-round resident who cherished all her time with friends and family lakeside at Shadow.   On July 14, 2025 heaven’s gates opened wide to welcome Corinne Larkham Ashe after a courageous battle with cancer.

She was born August 9, 1941, to Herbert and Dorothy (Murray) Larkham in Norwich, Connecticut and was raised on the family dairy farm on Plain Hill Road in Norwich.

You will all be forever in our prayers of gratitude and thanks.
