Pearl C. Begin

LEWISTON — Pearl C. Begin, 81, of Meadowview Park, Lewiston died Tuesday, Sept. 22, at her residence surrounded by her family by her side after a long illness. God saw her getting tired, a cure not meant to be, so He put his arms around her, and whispered… “Come with Me.”

She married Roger H. Begin on July 5, 1948; he died on Dec. 3, 2000.
Most of her life, she was a homemaker having raised her family. Later she was employed as a housekeeper for Central Maine Medical Center until she retired in 1993. She enjoyed spending time with her family.
She is survived by three sons, Richard Begin and his wife, Jane, of Portland, Raymond Begin and his wife, Susan, of Auburn and Ronald Begin and his wife, Denise, of Lewiston; two daughters, Claire Guay and her husband, Roland, of Old Orchard Beach and Gina Begin and her fiancé, Rick Desrochers, of Sanford; one brother, Raymond Robichaud and his wife, Sylvia, of Florida; one sister, Lorraine LeBlanc and her husband, Eddie, of Florida; four grandchildren, Jessica Guay of Washington, D.C., Leonora Begin of Portland and Gregory and Jeffrey Begin, both of Auburn; and several nieces and nephews.
