Mary Jaquith

KENNEBUNK — Mary Lowell (Curtis) Jaquith, 96, passed away peacefully in her sleep on, Feb. 24, 2006, at Bradford on the Common, Kennebunk, after a brief illness.

The only daughter of Carroll Cary Curtis and Molly (Paige) Lowell, she was born on Aug. 12, 1910, in her parents’ home in Watertown, Mass., but lived much of her life in Barrington, R.I., and at her summer home on Peaks Island. She had recently moved back to Kennebunk after living for several years at the former Eunice Frye home in Portland, where she was a strong supporter and long-time trustee, and which has since been purchased by the Sisters of Mercy of the Portland Regional Community in 2003.

She was married in October 1955, to the late Dana W. Jaquith (Colby College, 1935) of Peaks Island and Barrington, R.I., and who was employed by Tucker Anthony, a Providence, R.I. stock brokerage firm, until his death on Peaks Island in August 1989.

She considered herself to be a Portland native having lived most of her early years there and having graduated from Portland High School and nearby Gorham State Teachers College in 1934. She had been an active member of the Barrington (R.I.) Congregational Church, State Street Church, Portland, and for many years a member, and strong supporter of Brackett Memorial Church, Peaks Island. Her benevolence knew few bounds such as, while a resident of the Eunice Frye home, she outfitted all apartments with air conditioning units when the summers became too hot for the residents to tolerate. And, for nearly 25 years, she was the teacher to, and constant companion of, Emily Hart Payson, a mentally challenged member of that illustrious and prominent Maine family. She was blessed with a loving sense of humor that she often used to engage and delight her friends, family, and medical staff right to the end of her life.

Being very proud of her heritage, she was an active member of the Society of Mayflower Descendants in the State of Maine as well as the grandniece of the former governor of Maine and mayor of Portland, Oakley C. Curtis. She delighted in keeping in touch with far-flung family members and would revel in discovering a seemingly lost cousin, who a relative or friend might locate, and with whom she could then communicate. Her many activities included golfing in her earlier years, reading, traveling which she did extensively, and singing in church and secular choirs over the decades. She additionally thoroughly enjoyed gardening especially on her beloved Peaks Island at the summer home that she and Dana designed and built in the late 1950s on a gorgeous point of land with unobstructed views of islands with the Atlantic beyond.

Although having never experienced the joys of motherhood, she leaves behind three devoted children by her brother, William L., Thomas H.L. Curtis of North Weymouth, Mass.,, William L. Curtis of Hackettstown, N.J., and Margaret C. Hambrecht of River Edge, N.J. In addition, she leaves two first cousins, Mrs. Charles (Elizabeth Lowell) Ryland of Warsaw, Va., and Mrs. Kels (Mary Lowell) Boland, of Bethesda, Md., and Duxbury, Mass.; a sister-in-law, Marjorie Curtis of Portland as well as nine grandnieces and grandnephews; and 14 great-grandnieces and grandnephews.

No funeral arrangements have been scheduled but, in accordance with her wishes, during the summer of 2006, there will be a memorial service in her memory on Peaks Island at Brackett Memorial Church.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in the name of her nephew, Edward C. Hambrecht, to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, 1275 York Ave., New York, NY 10021.

Arrangements by Bibber Memorial Chapel, Kennebunk.

She was born and raised in Tenafly, N.J., had strong ties to Maine, and summered in her great-grandfather’s house in York. She graduated from Connecticut College with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics. She worked for many years in her father’s chemistry laboratory in New York City. Subsequently, she moved to Newtown, Conn., with her late sister, Elizabeth Eastman Cutts, and worked for Sperry Rail until her retirement.

She was an avid traveler, and she was a member of the Traveler’s Club, Sixty-Plus Club, and the Knitting Club. She and her sister were especially fond of their summer trips to Kennebunkport, which were punctuated by swimming in the cold Atlantic Ocean and dinners out with family. Also an amateur historian, she gathered genealogical information on such notable relatives as Captain David Wilcox and Dr. Caleb Eastman, both prominent figures in York’s history.

She will be remembered for her easy smile, peaceful personality, and her keen sense of humor. She loved to giggle.

She was predeceased by her parents; her brother, Richard W. Cutts, of York, a sister Elizabeth E. Cutts and a nephew, Thomas Cutts, of York.

She is survived by four nephews, Richard Cutts, of Texas and York, David Cutts of New Jersey, William Cutts of New Mexico and Robert Cutts of York; one niece, Nancy Cutts, of Kittery; and many grand-nieces and grand-nephews.
