Obituary-Judith Coates Palmer-Becker
Springfield - Judith Coates Becker (née Palmer) passed away unexpectedly on August 26. She was 78 years old. Born on February 27, 1942, in Weymouth, MA, to Lilian and Fred Palmer, Judi had a younger brother, Richard. She graduated from Weymouth High School, and attended Jackson College (Tufts University) where she graduated in 1963. She married Donald Bernier in 1964, and they settled in Williamstown, VT, where her daughter Michele was born and later to St. Johnsbury where her son Alan was born. Soon after, the family moved to Burlington. In Burlington, Judi began her decades long career in hospital development administration at the University of Vermont Medical Center and later at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. In 1990, Judi married Edward Becker and relocated to Springfield, VT. Judi, or Gaga as she is affectionately called by her seven grandchildren, was a doting grandmother who trekked across the country to catch soccer and baseball games, dance recitals, musical performances, birthdays and graduations. When Gaga arrived, you could count on her suitcase to be filled with treats and tokens from her travels, Champlain Chocolate, and, without fail, jugs of Vermont maple syrup. She delighted in seeing her young grandchildren "eating their fruits and veggies" but also loved spoiling them with her famous chocolate chip cookies. Her family describes Judi as: supportive, unwaveringly consistent, accepting of people as they are, go with the flow, sweet, generous and Vermont tough. In retirement, Judi didn't skip a beat; she whole-heartedly embraced this new phase of her life by pursuing her many interests and continued to lead her healthy and active lifestyle and to take classes at Dartmouth with Ed. While Judi found plenty to do to keep herself busy close to home, volunteering at the Springfield Coop and at the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center gift shop, her busy travel schedule took her to Africa, China, Europe, South America, Alaska, Hawaii and more. Judi is survived by her husband Ed, daughter Michele Vitali, son Alan Bernier (Sydney), and grandchildren Lily Vitali, Leo Vitali, Lucy Vitali, Cyrus Bernier and Rowan Bernier, stepson Michael Becker (Megan) and their children Maxwell and Miles. She is predeceased by her parents and brother. The family requests donations in Judi's name go to the Springfield Food Co-op, 335 River Street, Springfield VT 05156 and Vermont Public Radio by going to https://donate.vpr.org/. Please put Judi's name in the comment box. Private family services will be held in September. To Plant Memorial Trees in memory, please visit our Sympathy Store.

Notes from Judy:
*7-19-09-My maiden name is Elder but I went through high school with the class but graduated with the class of '60 because I took two extra classes to be able to get into college. Don;t know if I'm eligible to go to the '59 reunion or not.
*7-19-09-Alan, I was checking out the "Can'tFind"list and I noticed James Weaver's name. He is my ex-husband and quit school in 1958 and went into the service. He lives in Fla in the winter and in Maine in the summer but is not interested in the class reunion. Just thought I'd let you know as I was surprised to see his name on the list.

Subject: Re: Hunt School Windows
Hi.
FYI.
On behalf of the 1954 Hunt School seventh grade class — the school's ONLY 7th grade class — Art made a donation to buy two new glass windows for the front of the building, which is now the private South Shore Christian Academy.
When the new windows were installed, replacing the previous semi-transparent ones, the results exceeded expectations. The enhanced ambiance inside in the hallway and stairways was truly amazing. The outside light really brightens everything up.
Near each window is a plaque with a picture of our classmates. Gad, we were so young then!

Christine Anderson Maclin Obituary
Christine Anderson Maclin, 74
PORTLAND - Christine Anderson Maclin of Portland, owner of Maclin Design, died on Jan. 22, 2016 after living with pancreatic cancer for two and a half years. She was a dedicated wife, successful entrepreneur, loving mother and grandmother. Christine had an exuberant and outgoing personality and loved the challenges that life presented, forever exhibiting a positive attitude that inspired those around her. Her breadth of interest was all encompassing: reading, travel, new languages, color, fabric, science, religion, communication and most of all other people!
Christine grew up in Massachusetts, attended Weymouth High School and graduated from William Smith College in Geneva, New York with a Bachelor of Arts in 1959. She created a path to success as a decorator, starting out by owning a small shop with partners in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania then a shop called "Tree House" in Winchester, Virginia. In 1979, she developed Maclin Design, Inc. in Portland and worked with a wide range of clients in Maine and around the world.
A major change in her life was living in Manila, Philippines, from 1986 to 1989, where her husband Waite Maclin was Training Director for the United States Peace Corps. Working and traveling extensively in Asia was "a revelation," she said. The experience helped her develop an aesthetic view of functional practicality with the sophisticated simplicity of Swedish design with which she grew up.
Throughout her life, Christine exhibited a powerful curiosity about the people and places she encountered. Everyone close to her can recount stories of her saying numerous times "I met the most interesting person today," as she launched into a story about someone who served her lunch or a buyer at the Boston Interior Design building.
Christine loved her craft and strove for client satisfaction and took personal pride in a job well done. She formed strong bonds with and enjoyed the professionalism and friendship of all the men and women with whom she worked.
Along with a strong sense of intellectual curiosity she relished the idea of having fun every day. In her work and in personal time, she enjoyed and celebrated life and her relationships. Everyone who knew her was aware that when Christine arrived, the party started.
Over the past weeks, so many of her clients have told her of how she has created spaces where they live that reflect her amazing creative spirit. They will forever have her remarkable presence surrounding them with peace, beauty and strength. One client has written: "Thank you for creating two beautiful homes for us. They are cozy and nurturing where we can be quiet and still or productive and generous."
Here is what one young friend said: "Christine, You are an amazing and vibrant woman who I have always admired and enjoyed being in your company. Witty and sharp and quick to laugh, are a few of many things I love about you. You're interesting and interested which is rare these days. I love you."
Conspicuously displayed over her office desk was the motto she lived by: "Never Give Up, Don't Make Excuses, Have Fun!"
Christine is survived by her husband of 36 years, Charles Waite Maclin of Portland; her two sons, Shepherd Ladley Husted of Portland, Thomas Kristian Husted, his wife Shalimar Sulisto of Jakarta, Indonesia and their two children, Rania and Alan; her brother, Eric Anderson and his wife, Cynthia Ciani Anderson of Belfast and their two children, Ruth Anderson Lang of East Palo Alto, California and Jane Anderson of Millis, Massachusetts; her sister Elizabeth Anderson and her husband Mark Keil of Andover, Massachusetts and their son, Lars Keil of Providence, Rhode Island; her aunt Barbara Lawry Weber of Honolulu,HI; her cousins David Wirkala of Yarmouth, Alan Wirkala of Waterbury, Connecticut, Paula Weber Herr of Nairobi, Kenya, Allan Battistini of Southport, Linda Battistini Poulin of Braintree, Massachusetts, Else-Marie Ostling of Gävle, Sweden, Celeste Roberts of Honolulu, Hawaii; Barbara Weber of Los Gatos, CA; James and John Weber of Honolulu, Hawaii and Mark Weber of Gray, Tennessee. Christine was predeceased by her cousin, Gail Weber, formerly of Winchester, Massachusetts.
A celebratory memorial service will be held at St. Luke's Episcopal Cathedral, 143 State Street in Portland on Sunday, Feb. 7, 2016 at 1 p.m. Following the service, at Christine's request we will have a party in her honor at the Cumberland Club, 116 High Street. Parking is available behind the Cathedral on Park Street; this same parking lot is shared by the Cumberland Club. Arrangements are under the direction of
Conroy-Tully Crawford Funeral Home
, 172 State Street, Portland. To view Christine's memorial page or to share an online condolence, please visit www.ctcrawford.com.
Christine has asked that
in lieu of flowers, contributions be made to the following charities:

Sadly, we have lost another classmate.RIP Brian.
Brian M. Kelly, 74
Obituary
Posted Nov. 29, 2014 @ 2:01 am
DOVER-FOXCROFT, ME - Brian M. Kelly passed away peacefully at home on Nov. 19, 2014. Brian was the son of the late Robert M. Kelly and Grace J. (O'Meara) Kelly.
Brian was an adventurer, a problem-solver and a friend to all. He rarely took the easy route and was far more excited by the journey than by his destination. Each day was new. He loved challenges. He collected people and gave generously of a hugely optimistic spirit and his friendship.
Above all other pursuits, Brian loved to fly. As a Private Pilot, Brian flew for 51 years, mostly in tail-draggers and on floats. He often said that he was newly excited each time he flew to see Earth in its wider dimensions, laid out before him like a great map.
In 1961, Brian became the youngest elected Town Meeting member in Weymouth, MA history. In Brewster, MA, he served the Town for more than a decade as Chairman of the Stoney Brook Mill Sites. In Dover-Foxcroft, ME, he served on the Airport Advisory Committee for many years as airport manager at the Charles A. Chase, Jr. Memorial Airport.
Brian served six years in the Naval Air Reserve as a crewman in Grumman S2-Fs and was stationed at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in 1964 when Castro turned off the water to the base.
He studied machine and tool design at Wentworth Institute and heating ventilation and air conditioning system design at Franklin Institute prior to joining Alonzo B. Reed, Inc. in Boston as a draftsman. He worked in Charleston, SC for Rosenblatt & Associates, marine engineers, before moving to New York City to a position at Syska Hennessey, where he designed hospital clean rooms. However, Brian never enjoyed city life.
An opportunity he felt too good to pass up took him with his bride from Manhattan to Cape Cod. Using only hand tools, he and Helen tore down an 1820 Cape Cod style house. Together they moved it board-by-board, brick-by-brick to a new location, reconstructed the "house kit," and moved into their new home the night their first child was born. Brian worked in the building trades for 15 years before joining East Cape Engineering Inc. in Orleans, MA, where his early interest in surveying reemerged.
He moved to Maine in 1990 when, at age 50, he returned to school at the University of Maine to complete the core survey engineering curriculum. While working in the field with a Maine surveyor, he earned his Bachelors Degree in engineering management through Southwest University. He became a site evaluator, licensed to design septic systems, and he received his Professional Land Surveyor's license in 2000. Brian served as President of the Hancock/Penobscot Chapter of the Maine Society of Land Surveyors and as a Director - At Large on the MSLS state board. He loved the woods and fields; he loved his work.
Brian is survived by his wife of 46 years, Helen Streeter Kelly of Dover-Foxcroft; a son, Colin Daniel Kelly, his wife Stacy and grandson Finian of Union, ME; his daughter Bevin Kelly St. Charles, her husband Edward and granddaughter Madalin of Lincolnville, ME; two brothers, Gerard P. Kelly and wife Constance of Plymouth, MA and Gregory P. Kelly and wife Candace of Brewster, MA; his sister-in-law Mary Kelly of Pembroke, MA; seven nephews and nieces; and many Kelly and O'Meara cousins. In addition to his parents, two brothers, Robert M. Kelly, Jr. and Daniel L. Kelly, predeceased Brian. Brian leaves lasting friendships too numerable to count.
Mass for Brian will be held at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, 43 High Street, Dover-Foxcroft, ME Wednesday, Dec. 3, 2014 at 10 a.m. A reception in the church basement will follow the service. His ashes will be committed in a graveside service Saturday, Dec. 6, 2014 at 2 p.m. at the Orleans Cemetery, Orleans, MA.
In his honor, the Brian Kelly Surveying Scholarship has been established at the University of Maine to benefit a nontraditional surveying student over 50. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be sent to the University of Maine Foundation, Two Alumni Place, Orono, ME 04469-5792, or made online at www.umainefoundation.org.

Sadly, we have learned Paul Barcelo has passed. RIP Paul.
Paul David Barcelo Obituary:
Paul David Barcelo
Concord, NH
Paul David Barcelo, 73 years old, passed away on Monday, September 15, 2014 after a short battle with lung cancer. Paul is survived by his wife of 49 years, Linda (Vautrain); daughter, Marlaina (Wilson) Townsend of Concord, NH; son, Craig (Stephanie) Barcelo Hagyard of Salem, MA; two grandchildren, Julian Barcelo Townsend and Olivia Jane Townsend; siblings, Charles (Audrey) Barcelo of Port Orange, FL and Ronald (Mary) Barcelo of Ormond Beach, FL. He was the son of Ronald and Una Barcelo (Hunnewell).
Paul was born in Brockton, MA and raised in South Weymouth, MA where he apprenticed to a watchmaker at age 15. He joined the Air National Guard and was activated in the 102nd Air Defense Wing at Phalsbourg Air Base in France in 1961 and 1962. After returning from service Paul continued his work as a watchmaker until seeking greater opportunity as a Computer Operator. Paul joined Honeywell Information systems where he attained the position of Senior Systems Engineer. During this period Paul attended night school at Northeastern University and earned a BS in Information System Management. Paul and Linda moved to Webster, TX in 1990 where Paul worked on the International Space Station. He left to join Northrop Grumman in Melbourne, FL where he successfully launched several New JSTARS aircraft in service.
After retiring in 2004, Paul and Linda split their time between Melbourne, FL and Concord, NH. Paul enjoyed playing golf and spending summers with his daughter's family in Concord, NH. Here he was able to enjoy his favorite pursuit of spoiling his grandchildren. Paul was a longtime congregant of the Crossroads Community Church in Melbourne. He was active with Habitat for Humanity, participating in the construction of several homes in the Melbourne area. He was also active with the Buses and Backpacks program through his church. In addition, he chose to spend many Thanksgivings serving meals at the Salvation Army and volunteered at the Daily Bread in Melbourne.
A service will be held at a later date. The family extends an invitation to all those who knew Paul and his family to celebrate his life at his daughter's house at 50 Hampton St, Concord, NH on Saturday, September 20, 2014 at 2 p.m.

We have received two thank yous for our Class of 1959 $500.00 scholarships awarded to Weymouth High graduates this year. The two students we have heard from are Christine Karlberg and Lauren Spellman. Christine will be attending the University of Massachusetts in Amherst and Lauren will be attending Bridgewater State University. We awarded three $500.00 scholarships so we am waiting to hear from the third recipient. The name of the third recipient is Kevin James Conlon. If you remember, last year the High School completed its scholarship selections months earlier than in the past. Many organizations were caught off guard including us. The person in charge of the scholarships suggested we wait until this year to award ours from the Class of 1959. We sent the money to the High School in January so as not to be late if the earlier schedule was followed ( which it was). WeI'll let you know who the third person is when we find out.
