LEWISTON — Aldea Eva Grondin, 97, of Lisbon, passed away on Sunday, June 4, at the Marshwood Center nursing home in Lewiston with her loving family by her side.

The family would like to thank the staff at Marshwood Center nursing home for their mother’s wonderful care during her stay. A very special thanks to Barbara and Lori from hospice, who helped with the care for her during her final month and to Sandy and Amy for the compassion they always showed her.
