LEWISTON — Marie Gabrielle Foss, 81, of Auburn, died on Jan. 24, at St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center. Her granddaughter, Dawn Marie, was by her side when she passed peacefully with special devotion during her stay at St. Mary’s from her sons, Leonard “Skip” R. Foss and Jeffrey L. Foss along with her grandchildren, Michael J. Foss, Leonard R. Foss II, Katie Foss, Kevin Foss, and great-granddaughter, Kelcie M. LaChapelle.

Marie was born Oct. 16, 1929, in Fort Kent, the daughter of Maxim and Phoebe Bouchard. Marie enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, but more importantly with her children. Her grandchildren were such a joy and comfort to her.

Marie was always there to lend an ear for listening without judgment. She simply shared the kindness within her heart. She taught us so much by her example and never asked for thanks or recognition.

She will always be thought of so warmly and lovingly. Marie will be cherished more than she could ever know.

She is survived by her sons, Leonard “Skip” R. Foss and Jeffrey L. Foss; granddaughters, Dawn Marie Foss and Katherine “Katie” Foss; grandsons, Leonard R. Foss II, Kyle A. Foss, Kevin M. Foss and Michael J. Foss; great-grandchildren, Jay N. Bilodeau, Leonard “Trey” R. Foss III, Kelcie M. LaChapelle and Tiffany D. Foss; and her great-great-grandchildren, Laila A. Foss, and the expected arrival in May of Aiden M. Lucas.
