Obituary



BUXTON- Marie N. Metcalf, age 78, passed away on October 26, 2018, at her home from natural causes.

She was born in South Hiram, Maine on October 11, 1940, a daughter of the late Ellsworth and Hannah Moore.

On May 4, 1957, she married Alan W. Metcalf, Sr. of Porterfield and together they worked the woods and built a large farm in Porter while raising a family of six children. In the early 1970’s, they established a successful feed and farm store, Metcalf’s Trading Post in Cornish.

After retiring in the early 1980’s, Marie and Alan spent a lot of time traveling and lived in Jamaica, Florida, and Texas before returning to Maine, where they lived with their son Robert. After Alan’s passing in 2002, Marie continued to live with Rob and his wife, Cece, most recently at their farm in Buxton. Marie enjoyed gardening, cooking, canning, raising chickens, feeding the birds, walking her dog, and spending time with her beloved family. She had a life-long love for farming and agriculture, and still enjoyed watching rodeos and bull riding on television.

Marie is survived by two daughters, Darlene Bergeron and her husband, Jeff of Old Town and Coleen Gardner of Hiram; four sons, Rob and his wife, Cece of Buxton, Alan Jr. of Porter, Dale Sr. of Porter, and Jerry and his wife, Wanda of Porter; fourteen grandchildren, Kimberly, Suzanne, Nicole, Catherine, Richard, Glen, Jessica, Joshua, Dale Jr., Seth, Heath, Heather, Sara, and Sage; and many great-grandchildren whom she loved dearly.
