Mrs. Caddell, the daughter of the late Robert D. Choiniere and Pauline Rainville Choiniere, was born and raised in the beautiful town of Saint Albans, Vermont. Her early years in New England shaped her strong spirit, her love of simple joys, and her deep appreciation for family. After graduating from Bellows Free Academy in 1973, she chose a path of service and adventure by joining the United States Army, beginning a chapter of her life that showed her courage, independence, and determination.

In the years that followed, she continued to better herself through education, earning an Associate’s Degree from Enterprise State Junior College. On June 3, 1980, she married the love of her life, James Gordon Caddell, having met him at Fort Eustis, Virginia. Their marriage was built on partnership, laughter, and the kind of steady devotion that carried them through every season of life.

Mrs. Caddell worked hard throughout her life and took pride in every job she held. She spent several years as a gardener at Level Plains Baptist Church from 1989 to 1995, tending the grounds with the same care and patience she showed the people around her. Later, she became the Head Baker at Ryan’s Restaurant in Enterprise, a role she held for ten years. Her baked goods were well‑known, and many people still remember the warmth and comfort she brought to the kitchen.

Never afraid to try something new, she eventually opened her own taxi company, No Name Taxi, which she operated with pride and a strong work ethic. She met countless people along the way, and her friendly nature made every ride a little brighter for those who crossed her path.

In her free time, she enjoyed collecting all sorts of treasures, especially porcelain dolls, each one chosen with care. She loved settling in to watch Nicholas Cage movies, a small joy that always brought a smile to her face. More than anything, she cherished time spent with her family. Those moments—big and small—were the heart of her life.

She was a faithful member of Level Plains Baptist Church, where she found fellowship, comfort, and a sense of home.

Mrs. Caddell was preceded in death by her husband, James Gordon Caddell; her son, Matthew Caddell; her brothers, Dollard Choiniere, Donat Choiniere, and Louis Choiniere; and her sister, Irene Choiniere. Though she faced great loss, she carried herself with strength and grace, and she continued to pour love into the people around her.

She will be remembered for her unwavering work ethic, her kindness, her resilience, and the quiet but meaningful ways she touched the lives of others. Her memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.

Surviving relatives include her two sons, John Caddell (Kristen) and Timothy Caddell (Elena), all of Enterprise; sisters, Helene Choiniere- Shields, Montreal Quebec, Canada, Camille Freeman (Lance), Swanton, Vermont, Frances Urie (Phillip), Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania, and Norma Garcia, Seattle, Washington; brothers, Leon Choiniere (Pacita), Long Beach, California, Robert Choiniere (Renee), Madison, Maine, Phillip Choiniere (Carol), Leominister, Massachusetts, and Paul Choiniere, Seattle, Washington; grandchildren, Ryker Caddell, Kade Caddell, Emberly Caddell, and Alexys Caddell; nieces, nephews, and cousins.
