Carolyn Ward
December 23, 2009
Kennebunkport, Maine
Carolyn Ward, 69, of Wildes District Road, died Wednesday, December 23, 2009 at Southern Maine Medical Center in Biddeford. She was born in Barnstable, MA on October 1, 1940, the daughter of Charles Franklin Hallett and Ann Teresa (Talejis) Hallett.
She spent more than twenty six-years of love, friendship, gardening, and family time, with her husband, Allan L. Beausang II.

From the 1988 to 1990 Carolyn served as the President of the Massachusetts Town Clerks Association.

After enjoying summers at Turbat’s Creek for more than twenty years, Al and Carolyn retired to Kennebunkport on a permanent basis.
An avid gardener, Carolyn was probably happiest digging in the dirt. She brought beauty to every landscape she touched. Her talent in the garden might have been matched by her talent in the kitchen. Any meal prepared by Carolyn was memorable.
