LEWISTON – Constance M. (Jumper) Reardon, 68, of 102 Campus Ave., Lewiston, and formerly of 211 Randall Road, Lewiston, died early Friday morning, Nov. 21, at d’Youville Pavilion, following a long, courageous battle with cancer.

She attended St. Patrick’s parochial school and was a graduate of Lewiston High School in 1958. She then graduated from the Auburn Maine School of Commerce in 1960.

She was employed as a bookkeeper for Hall & Knight Hardware from 1960 to 1965. She then raised her family at home.

She was a very faithful member of St. Patrick’s Church and also was a catechism teacher there for six years.

Constance was an avid New England sports fan. She was a proud season ticket holder for the Lewiston Maineiacs for the past five years.

She was an avid reader, loved doing crossword puzzles and most of all enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren.

She is survived by her husband Joseph F. Reardon Jr., whom she married on Oct. 23, 1965, of Lewiston; two daughters, Karen Ann Scahill and her husband, Richard, of Rochester, N.H., and Lynn Ann LePage and her husband, Michael, of Lewiston; two brothers, David Jumper and his wife, Judith, of Lewiston and Donald Jumper of Lewiston; four grandchildren, Richard Scahill III, Deanna Lyn Scahill and Jack and Ava LePage; two uncles, Charles Way of California and Joseph Hinton of Calais; a nephew, Mark Jumper and his wife, Anne, of Lewiston; a niece, Kathleen Burns and her husband, David, of Scarborough; and nine grandnieces and nephews.
