LEWISTON - Helen (Martin) Moody, of Oakwood Drive, Turner, died unexpectedly at Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston on May 27, 2010.
She was the last surviving daughter of Morris and Avis E. Martin and was born in the early 1920s in Caratunk. The original Martin family was some of the original settlers of Caratunk after immigrating from Ireland in 1841.
Educated locally, she met and married Paul Moody (deceased 2006) in Gardiner in 1945, shortly after World War II ended. Over the course of her working career, she held various supervisory and managerial positions and retired from the Clarostat Company in 1981.
Helen is survived by her loving son and caregiver, Timothy Moody, of Turner; son Paul Jr. and his wife, Pam, of St. Augustine, Fla.; daughter Pamela Gnipp and her husband, Joe, of Lewisville, Texas; her son, Richard and his wife, Doreen, of Richmond; and son Bradley and his companion, Betty, of Richmond. She is also survived by 12 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.
Besides her parents and husband, Helen was predeceased by sister Merlene Martin, formerly of Caratunk; sister Agnes Staples, formerly of Swans Island; sister Hazel Matson, formerly of Pittston; sister Glenis Martin, formerly of Gardiner; brother Bernard Martin, formerly of South Paris; brother Irvin Martin, formerly of Pittston; brother Orin Martin, formerly of Sidney; and brother Wesley Martin, formerly of South Portland.
