Laura Mary Carver

Laura Mary Carver of Gorham, Maine went peacefully to be with her Lord and Savior on Friday, August 18th with beloved daughter Delphine and her son-in-law Gregg by her side. Born at home in Bristol, CT, on July 2, 1938, the second of four children. The foundation of her life was a reflection of her parents-morals taught by example; honesty, responsibility; families worked together then played together. Being brought up on a farm that raised mink and foxes for pelts the days responsibilities began early with feeding and watering the animals, working as a team, work was done before pleasure. Somewhere in between she was able to play soft ball and volleyball in HS and gathered with aunts, uncles & cousins -sledding, skiing, swimming, playing croquet, things that didn’t cost a lot of money. Upon graduation from HS she was the personal secretary to the assistant superintendent of schools in Bristol, CT. Moving to Maine in 1964 she held many office positions including Reece Corp (Data Entry), USM Gorham (Interlibrary Loan), Controlled Environment (Office Mgr). Being raised with a strong spiritual upbringing she was a faithful servant to the Lord. She was a member of Grace Baptist Church in Portland teaching Sunday School, Good News Club and helping various children’s ministries with her husband by her side. After her husband’s passing 20 yrs ago she resided at Woodside at Village Square where she had many dear friends. She loved watching glorious sunsets from her 3rd floor apartment window. She is survived by her daughter Delphine Cronin & son-in-law, Gregg of Effingham, NH, her granddaughter Mandy Gillespie and her husband Steve of Conway, NH, her brother Wayno Andelin, Jr of Bristol, CT, Sister and brother-in-law Francis & Peter Achilli of Hernando, FL, Step-Daughter Charlene Carver-Sullivan of Bradenton, FL, Step-Son Mark Carver of Unity, ME and many nieces & nephews.
