BRUNSWICK — Lynne Tardiff Hagan, 82, of Brunswick passed away at Horizons Living & Rehab Center on Sunday, Aug. 19, after a brief battle with brain cancer.

Lynne was born in Lewiston on Sept. 9, 1935. She was the oldest of seven children born to the late Rosario and Virginia Tardiff of West Bowdoin. She graduated from Brunswick High School in 1953. In 1955, she married John Hagan of Brunswick, where they raised their four children.

Lynne worked at Senter’s in Brunswick before having children. She worked at home as a bookkeeper for several businesses that she and John started together over the years. Their last business venture before retiring was the startup of Brunswick Taxi, which was operated out of their home with their main focus on driving elderly to their doctor appointments and grocery shopping. She was a talented quilter who enjoyed gifting them to others. Lynne volunteered at Parkview Hospital for fundraising fairs. She enjoyed shopping trips, craft fairs and chatting over lunch or coffee with her many friends. Lynne will probably be most remembered by her beautiful smile that would light up a room.

Besides her parents, she is predeceased by John Hagan and a brother, Dean Tardiff.

She leaves behind her two sisters: Carole Sligh and her husband, Harvey, of Pennsylvania, and Laurie Fuller and her husband, Barry, of West Bowdoin; three brothers: Terry Tardiff and his wife, Pat, of Lisbon Falls; Randy Tardiff and his wife, Sue, of Lisbon Falls; and Tom Tardiff and his wife, Mary Carr, of Colorado; her four children: John Hagan and his wife, Cindy, of Lusby, Md.; Jill Annese and her partner, Vinnie Matson, of Topsham; Debbie Bennett and her husband, Jim, of Biddeford; and Marc Hagan and his wife, Dawn, of Topsham; eight grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren. Lynne is also survived by several longtime friends who were very dear to her. She is also survived by her companion of 10 years, Ardain (Zeb) Trask, of Newport and Lake Wales, Fla. Together they enjoyed traveling and exploring during their winters in Florida.

The family wishes to thank the many friends who visited Lynne and helped in many other ways as Lynne progressed through this disease. A special thank-you to the residents and staff at Coastal Landing, Horizons and the CHANS Hospice Care visitors.
