She always loved her family roots in Alfred. Her mother Beatrice, was town clerk for many years. As a child, she lived beside the York County Courthouse and remembers the night it burned, watching it with her sister Ethel and brother, Kenneth.

While in Alfred, she graduated from Alfred High School and joined and remained a life-long member of the Fern Chapter, Order of Eastern Star. Her working career began after graduation with New England Telephone and Telegraph in Sanford.

In her late 30s, she moved to Montgomery, Ala. and continued her telephone company career. She loved driving her 1958 Chevrolet convertible, which was turquoise with white leather interior and enjoyed taking her nieces and nephew for long rides.

She experienced history in the making as she stood on the roof of her office building and watched Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his followers as they ended their march from Selma to Montgomery. She retired from Bell South in 1978, when "the computers took over." She was a proud member of the Telephone Pioneers.

She was devoted to her family. In 1979, she moved to Hollywood, Fla. to care for her sister Ethel, who had developed multiple sclerosis. She continued her independent life keeping close contact with neighbors, family and friends. She loved visiting the ocean, taking long rides and going out for ice cream.

March 28, 2002 she returned to Maine, after suffering a stroke. Even then, she always had a sweet, gentle manner and a twinkle in her eye.

Her parents, and sister, Ethel and brother, Kenneth, predeceased her.

"Auntie" will be sadly missed and remembered with laughter and joy by her "family" of caregivers at the Kennebunk Nursing Center; two nieces, Susan Wallingford and John Lehmus of Kennebunk, and Barbara (Wallingford) and Mac Ingalls of Lyman; one nephew, Bruce and Diana Wallingford of Nantucket, Mass.; one great-niece, Kelly Arp of Newburyport, Mass.; four great-nephews, Bryan Saurman of Wells, Keith and Kyle Wallingford of Nantucket, Mass., and Michael Ingalls of New York City.

To her beautiful, gentle spirit we say, "smile on sweet woman."
