She was born on November 22, 1927, in Biddeford Maine to Raymond and Marie (Dewitt) Wakefield. At a young age, she moved to Munjoy Hill in Portland where she attended Portland schools. She grew up across the street from the love of her life, Warren D. Sears, Jr. whom she married in 1945 upon his return from WWII. She had a few small jobs over the years with finally retiring from National Semiconductor in 1976. In 1985 when Warren retired from the American Can company, they moved to Florida for the winter months. They returned in 2007 to stay in Maine year round. She was very social and had acquired many great friendships over the years. She loved doing crafts of all types, especially ceramics, painting and crochet. She enjoyed reading and making puzzles. She also enjoyed watching game shows on TV, especially Wheel of Fortune, to which she knew just about every answer before anyone else. She was known as the "Bingo queen" in the family, winning just about every time she went. She was an amazing Mother, Grandmother and Great-grandmother to her family, she will always be our "queen".
