Portland, Bangor and Lincoln - At dawn on Friday, May 1st, 2020, our sweet mother left this world. It is no surprise that she chose May Day to return to the arms of the love of her life, Edward "Eddie" Wilson, who predeceased her by 23 years. We have no doubt he is playfully chasing and kissing her as she joins his loving arms in eternal peace.
After living independently for 90 years and a short period of failing health, mom peacefully completed her circle of life with her adoring family and caregivers by her side at Birchwoods at Canco Road, Assisted Living Facility. We know Mom is being lovingly greeted with heavenly hugs from her husband, along with her parents Millard William Haynes and Christie Ida (Shorey) Haynes and her eight siblings, Almon (Emmy) Haynes, Thelma Whalen Taylor, Helen Jewett, "little Ardelle" Haynes, Irene Lancaster, Don (Dyke) Haynes, Millard (Sunshine) Haynes and Elmer (Bo) Haynes as well as many sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends.
Born in 1927, she grew up in Lincoln, Maine during the Great Depression and World War II. Her childhood was a simpler time. Summers were spent playing, swimming, and picking blueberries with her siblings at their home on the white birch point at the Big Narrows. The beautiful log cabin camp built by her father and grandfather with the logs felled from the property still stands today. Winters were spent skating and sledding in felt snowsuits sewn by their loving mother.
She apprenticed as a hairdresser under Grace Pete at Grace's Beauty Shop in Lincoln during high school and after graduating from Mattanawcook Academy in 1947, she received a diploma from the Unique Academy of Beauty Culture in Lewiston, Maine.
She met her beloved Eddie by fate after plans for a double date fell through. When both his date and hers became sick, they decided to enjoy the evening together. Mom said "He was handsome, had a great physique, made me laugh, and held my hand. After that date, there was never anyone else for me." They married in 1950 and brought three daughters into the world.
They built a home in Lincoln and purchased a camp on the Big Narrows. They spent their winters snowmobiling and ice fishing, and their summers lakeside, with their extended family and friends. Mom was a wonderful cook and loved sweets! There was always a homemade pie, cookies, or fudge on the counter. Mom had many other talents. She tole painted, made quilts, baskets, braided rugs, ceramics, and crewel work, giving many treasured keepsakes. She was a wonderful dancer and a master at telling off-color jokes.
Her daughters, Christie Trickett, Sharon McNeil, and Laurene Wilson-McNerney, along with their husbands Terry Trickett, Joe McNeil, and Ed McNerney will hold them both in their hearts forever.
Mom loved all children and was an amazing Grammie to Kim Madore-Smith and husband Teale, Kellie Kelch and husband Rich, Kerry Matthews, and husband Brandon, Hillery Trickett, Joey McNeil, Rachael Fergerson and husband John, Nicholas Warner and Benjamin Warner. She was fortunate to see the birth of her 9 great grandchildren, Paige Kelch, Evan Matthews, Ella Mae Mathews, Brody Gray, Callie Fergerson, Brooke Fergerson, Nolan McNeil, Cole Warner, and Ayden Warner, who all hold a special love for their GG.
She also leaves behind many in-laws, nieces, and nephews (who fondly called her "Aunt Net"), and wonderful friends who will fondly remember her joyful spirit and shenanigans.
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, a celebration of life will be announced at a later date.
The family extends special thanks to the wonderful staff at Birchwoods, and Northern Light Hospice.
In Mom's memory, plant something in your garden in her honor, share your love with a child, be kind to each other, and help out your elderly neighbor. Life is precious, be appreciative, and grateful for every second you get to spend with the people you love.
