Barbara McGoldrick Davis of Windham, ME passed peacefully away in her home on the morning of July 24th, 2023. She was 90 years old. Barbara was born in Lancaster, NH on July 13th, 1933, to William S. McGoldrick and Evelyn Brown McKaig. She graduated from Lancaster Academy in 1951 and married Algernon (Allie) Sydney Davis on June 18th, 1955. She was a stay at home mom to four children for many years. They kept her very busy. She was a Girl Scout troop leader and a committee member for the Boy Scouts. She worked many years at Lovell’s Drug Store in North Windham and went on to work as bookkeeper at D. Cole Jewelers in Portland and retired at the age of 75 but continued to work on appraisals until she was 87 years old. Barbara was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She truly loved working in her many flower gardens, reading (especially the daily paper cover to cover) with her morning coffee, traveling, camping, word games, and playing cribbage. She was a talented seamstress and sewed much of her daughters’ clothing when they were young. She also enjoyed making cakes. Barbara cherished many family memories from her beloved camp in Waterford, ME.
