Pasqualine L. (Pat) Webber

Scarborough - Pasqualine ( Pat) Webber, 94, passed away at the Gosnell Memorial Hospice House on October 19, 2010, after a brief illness. She was born in Portland on August 31, 1916, to Irene and Ercole Conti. She was married for nearly forty-six years to her beloved husband, Leon True Webber, former Chief of Police of Portland, who predeceased her in May, 1982. Pat graduated from Portland High School in 1934 and spent most of her life in Maine. Dedicated to her family, she was also known for her volunteer work and superb cooking skills. With her second son, Leon, she authored a cookbook, "Pasqualine's Cuisine", published in 2000. She knitted and crocheted for newborns at Mercy Hospital, receiving special recognition for her work on several occasions.

Pat was a Grand Matron of the Eastern Star and a member of the Italian Heritage Center.
