Marie E. (Rich) Lane was born on January 25, 1932, in Medford, MA, and passed away

peacefully on December 7, 2024, in Lisbon Falls, ME, with her loving family by her side.

Marie spent most of her childhood in Rich’s Cove on beautiful Isle au Haut, Maine, a place she

loved to spend time throughout her life. She was raised by her paternal grandparents from age

two to age twelve, when she moved to Wilmington, MA, with her father and stepmother, Iva

Rich. Marie attended school in a one room schoolhouse on the island during her time there.

At the age of 16, Marie came to New Harbor, where she spent the summer with her Aunt Rose,

owner of the Laughton House. It was during this visit, she caught the eye of Perlie Lane, Jr

(known to all as Junior) and they were married that winter, just before her 17th birthday. They

resided in New Harbor all their lives, where they raised their three daughters, Rosa Lane of

South Portland, Bonnie Lane of Whitefield and Brenda Lane of Lisbon Falls, Maine.

Though Marie left high school prior to her graduation, she completed her GED while maintaining

a home with her husband and raising their three daughters.

Throughout the years, Marie loved to sew and to knit. She was a member of the New Harbor

Knitting Club and hosted many of those weekly gatherings at her home. Marie loved to go

shopping even to just browse through the stores. She and Junior loved to square dance. They

followed their favorite dance callers around the state, limited only by bad weather and travel

conditions. Marie also loved walking as her exercise. Since starting in 1975, she and her

beloved friend, Isabel Brackett were so dedicated, they hardly missed a day over the years and

passersby could set a clock by their routine. Marie loved spending time with her three daughters

and their families. That’s where she was the happiest!

Stan lived his life on his own terms, which, at times, wasn’t the easiest route, but he always made it memorable. We’ll laugh, we’ll cry, and we’ll miss the person who somehow made us feel both loved and challenged. God has him in His arms, and we have him in our hearts forever.

Randolph- We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our mother, Barbara Seavey, who passed away on November 27, 2024, peacefully at home with her family by her side. Barbara M. Seavey was born in Boothbay, Harbor, Maine on September 7, 1937 to Nelson B. and Irene Timberlake Seavey. She attended schools in Boothbay Harbor, Bath, and on her tenth birthday moved to Gardiner, Maine. She always adored her older brother Tom, and took joy and pride in watching  him play sports. Barabra excelled in her schoolwork and love of learning. Barbara started working at the Gardiner Public Library in the 8th grade; she was proud of her work there, earning .90 a week, until she graduated. Her love of reading led her to graduate as valedictorian of the class of 1955 at Gardiner High School, where she was a member of the National Honor Society. 

                Barbara went to work for the State of Maine in 1955. She worked for the Department of Motor Vehicle for 16 years and the Maine Arts Commission for an additional 22 years. She retired in 1997 and for years proudly told her family of her 38 years, 7 months, and 1 day working for the State of Maine. Following her retirement, Barbara was employed part time for several years as an administrative assistant at Dyer Associates in Winthrop. 

                In addition to being proud of her employment, Barbara was also involved in several clubs and organizations over the years including Augusta Junior Women’s Club, Augusta Business and Professional Women’s Club, Snofest, Red Hat Society, and Lupine Ladies. 

                Some of Barbara’s favorite pastimes were traveling with friends, including cruising to Bermuda with the “secret six,” roaming the United States with her mother and beloved Aunt Glenys, cruising to Hawaii & Alaska with her friend,

Lorraine, trips to Disney, Mexico, Quebec, Nova Scotia, California, and numerous travels with her BFF, Fran. 

               As The Sound of Music would say, these are a few of her favorite things: reading, jigsaw puzzles, playing Scrabble, Sudoku, crosswords, ice cream, lighthouses, going out to eat with family and friends, trips to Boothbay and Ocean Point, collecting Santa Clauses, decorating for any holiday, and a Manhattan, straight up!
