Lolita Anger-Leggett, 98, of Burlington, VT passed away peacefully January 4, 2024. Lolita was born April 29, 1925 in Winooski, VT, the only child of Louis (Tom) and Evelyn Dorey Carrier. Lolita graduated from Mt St Mary’s Academy, St Louis Convent and Burlington Business College. After completing school, she worked at the Winooski City Clerk’s office for eleven years. After taking time to raise her children, she continued her career working at the Medical Center of Vermont business office and then at UVM Grants and Contract Accounting from which she retired.
In 1953, Lolita married Gordon Anger and together they had six children. Lolita and Gordon enjoyed skiing Mt Mansfield and sailing Lake Champlain which continued as favorite activities with their children. Gordon and Lolita were married for 26 years when Gordon passed in 1979.
Lolita took up tennis after Gordon’s death and she continued to play tennis weekly with her lady friends retiring when she was 87 years old.
After Gordon’s death, Lolita married Leslie Leggett. They enjoyed their families and outdoor activities together. They also enjoyed traveling, especially to their camp in Maine. Lolita and Les were married for 30 years until his death in 2011.
Mimi Lou, as she was referred to by her grandchildren, always enjoyed family activities. Her home was always open and children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and friends were always welcome. Holiday’s, Birthdays, and any family gatherings were always held at Mimi Lou’s house. Her pool was the gathering spot every summer and became known as “Mimi Lou’s Pool Club”. All the grandchildren have fond memories of their days swimming in the pool and the endless supply of ice cream sandwiches and treats from the pantry.
Lolita is survived by her children, Candace Anger-Kullas (Spike Kullas), Diane Sachs (Phil Sachs), Deborah Anger (Tom Clark), Susan Anger, and Thomas Anger (Christina Anger).
