FAIRFIELD, Conn. – Lurancy Ann Huntington Osborne, 72, died peacefully Dec. 8, at her home in Fairfield, Conn., of lung cancer.

She was born April 17, 1936, at Central Maine General Hospital in Lewiston, the daughter of Isabelle Fuller Huntington and Holman T. (Pop) Huntington of 421 Main St., Lewiston. She graduated from Lewiston High School, where she marched with its New England championship marching band as head cheerleader.

In 1954, she married Bates College graduate, Curtis L. Osborne of Massachusetts at the Naval Airbase in Pensacola, Fla. She was the mother of two children, Edie Lynn Osborne and Guy Osborne, both nearby her home, and five grandchildren, Chase, Mallory, Ethan, Kyle and Owen.

After her marriage, she lived in Florida, California, Hawaii, Massachusetts and New York before her residence in Connecticut. She was a fine tennis player, an expert skier having skied several times in South America, Switzerland and Colorado, and an excellent diver.

She loved to sail and served on the crew on a barge in England and crewed on sailboats on Lake Michigan, in the Caribbean, Belize and Honduras. She often traveled the United States and the world and lived for a short time on a houseboat on the Mississippi.

Of the many loves in her life, two of the standouts were a pet baby deer at a camp in New Hampshire as a child, and her motoring about in her 1973 yellow Merecedes Benz convertible sports car.

She is survived by her husband; two children; five grandchildren; and her elder brother, R. Bruce Huntington of Lewiston.

She was predeceased by a brother, D. Fenn Huntington in 2000.
