1929 – 2015

CORINTH — Mavis (Robbins) Hussey, very unexpectedly by us but planned by God, went peacefully to heaven  on Thursday, May 21, surrounded by her family at her bedside.

Mavis was born on June 30, 1929, to parents Fred and Vera (Maunder) Robbins from Hudson. She married her high school sweetheart, Norman Hussey, after graduating from Old Town High School. Norman was killed in a paper mill accident in 1971 leaving her as a single parent to five children, Alan, Skip, Debbie, Rita and Julie. She has seen all of her children, as well as her grandchildren marry and has enjoyed the blessing of 20 great-grandchildren.

She was a member of Hudson Baptist Church for many years. She and Norman were the first wedding performed in the church. She served in many capacities at Hudson Baptist Church including, but not limited to, choir member, deaconess, hospitality committee, nursery and kids’ church, VBS and ladies’ Bible studies. She loved serving others and being available with a smile for all. Most recently Mavis was a member of Bangor Baptist Church where she enjoyed the early morning service, small group Bible studies, Sunday School and Senior Saints.

Mavis enjoyed good health and could always be found at concerts, recitals, sports events, baptisms, birthday parties, etc. — anywhere AND everywhere her kids and grandkids were, she was there! She loved quilting, reading, playing cards, dominoes and even mastered an IPAD in recent years!

Carrying on her legacy for now are son, Alan and wife, Maggie; son, Skip and wife, Berta; daughter, Debbie and husband, Dan Snow; daughter, Rita and husband, Peter Bragdon; and daughter, Julie and husband, Jeff St. Louis; her grandchildren, Andy and Jody Coiley, Mike Coiley, Stef (Hussey) and Eric Kepple, Sean and Justina Hussey, Natasha (Hussey) and Barry Caldwell, Monica (Hussey) and Sean Sabine, Danielle (Snow) and Derek Ribbons, Darcy Snow, Desiree Snow, Justin Bragdon, Julie (Bragdon) and Ian Brown, Kim (St. Louis) and Greg Brown, Kristy (St. Louis) and Jon Hatch; great-grandchildren, Jordann, Alexis, Cassidy and Chase Coiley, Cody and McKenzie Coiley, Jenna, Noah, Leah and Olivia Kepple, Dominic Hussey, Levi Caldwell, Ethan Snow, Bella and Beckett Bragdon, Jasmine, Kennedy and Ryker Brown, Cassie and Lexie Hatch.

Remaining behind for now are sister, Shirley Strout; sister, Lorrie Hartley and husband, Russ; brother, Gene Robbins; brother-in-law, Richard Hussey; and sister-in-law, Jean Philbrick and husband, Norman. She will also be fondly remembered by her many nieces, nephews, friends, extended family and church family in Maine and Florida.

She was predeceased by her parents; sister, Gloria (Niles) Anderson; baby brother, Eugene; and granddaughter, Melissa.

We extend a warm thank you to EMMC staff as well as the Rev. Tom Obey and the Rev. Jerry Mick for their care and compassion.

See you soon Mum, Gram, Nana, Gate, sister, aunt and friend!
