Elizabeth Julia (Gardner) Curtis, 86, passed away at a local hospital on February 23, 2019, surrounded by loved ones. Betty was born on April 1, 1932, in Whiting, the third child of Waverly Harvard and Lucy Augusta (Ackley) Gardner.
Betty attended schools in Whiting and graduated from Washington Academy in 1950. On January 12, 1952, she married Myron Lee Curtis, and they began their married life in Whiting, Maine. Soon after, they moved to Edmunds and started farming. Betty was a stay-at-home mom while supporting her husband in many business ventures over the course of nearly 66 years of marriage. Some of these included a fuel oil business, plowing and sanding the roads in Edmunds, operating a campground and, operating C & M Fuels for more than twenty years. Betty was never afraid of hard work and often could be found at her husband's side assisting with whatever needed to be done. One of her most favorite activities was splitting and piling wood.
Betty was a member of the Easternmost Promenaders for several years and was a faithful member of the First Baptist Church in Pembroke.
Betty was predeceased by her husband, Myron, in January 2018, their first born daughter, Priscilla Joyce, in 1952; and by siblings Harold in 1993, Warren in 1999, Lewis in 2005, Donald in 2007, and Christine in 2013.
Betty is survived by daughter Helen and her husband, Ronald Kilby, of Edmunds; son, Charles Curtis, of Perry; and daughter Gladys and her husband, James Robinson, of Edmunds. Betty dearly loved her grandchildren Emily (Curtis) Van Ormer, Nancy Curtis, Billy Curtis, Michael Kilby, Sr., Michelle (Kilby) Curtis, Benjamin Robinson, and Brooke Robinson; her great-grandchildren Rylan, Kagan, and Londyn Curtis, Michael Kilby, Jr., Myron Curtis, and Elayna Van Ormer, along with several cherished nieces and nephews. Betty is also survived by a very special family member, Eileen Dougherty, who provided a great deal of care and loving support.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, March 9th, at 1:00 p.m. at the First Baptist Church in Pembroke. Donations may be made to Dennys River Ambulance, c/o Wayne and Roberta Seeley, 1935 U S Route 1, Edmunds, ME 04628
