Leilani Lee Rabtoy

“Lonnie”

12/26/1948-8/6/2025

Born in Rutland, VT

Leilani Rabtoy passed away peacefully in her sleep on 8/6/25 with her daughter Carol by her side as she went home to Heaven with the Angels. Daughter of late Francis E. Rabtoy and Jacqueline “King”, she is pre-deceased by two sisters, Serena Bourque and Naomi Barrows. Survived by 5 children: Dennis Swan, Jr. and wife Vicki of North Port, FL, Francis Swan and wife Charity of Mt. Holly, VT, Carol Moore of Claremont, NH, Conrad Moore II and wife Debbie of Springfield, VT, and Jolene Jennings of New London, NH.

Grandchildren: Rodney Swan, Jenna Johnson, Jessica Oviatte-Brechenser, Shanna Swan, Fallon Swan, Krystle Swan, Ashley Blanchard, KC Swan, Charissa Swan, Brandon Moore, Garrett Moore, Ethan Aldrich, Megan Leigh, Conrad Moore III, Jaylene Robie. She is also survived by 22 great grandchildren.

Leilani was a stay at home mom for each of her children’s early childhood years, followed by working in multiple factories over the course of her career. She retired in 2012 from Whelen Engineering, Inc. During her retirement, she immersed herself into her passion for crafting. Throughout her life she spent countless hours preparing various handmade crafted items that she often sold at local craft fairs, using her earnings to provide her children and grandchildren with beautiful holidays. When she wasn’t crafting, shopping or spending time with family, she could be found lighting up the dance floor to the oldies and country music. She also enjoyed singing at family gatherings and learned to play guitar in her Middle Ages.

Leilani’s spunky, fun loving spirit will be greatly missed by many.
