Patricia Haskell

She was born on July 31, 1933 in Waterboro to Austin and Helen (Meserve) Carpenter.

Pat was raised on the family farm in Waterboro and graduated from Waterboro High School in 1951. She attended Gray Business School in Portland and later went to work for Union Mutual Insurance Company. She married Lloyd B. Haskell, Jr. in 1958 and they had three sons. After her husband’s death in Vietnam in 1966 she moved with her sons to Portland and spent the next 48 years living there. She worked for many years as a secretary at the Boy Scouts of America regional office and later for the Portland School Department.

She was a devout Christian and longtime member of the North Deering Congregational Church.

Pat enjoyed spending summers at the family camp on Ossipee Lake in Waterboro, volunteering at her church, and spending time with her closest friends. She felt blessed to be ‘Nana’ to her grandchildren and many others. She is lovingly remembered for her sense of humor, kindness, and big heart.

She is survived by her three sons; Eugene and wife Pamela of Grand Forks, ND, Neil and wife Anne of Portland, Dana and wife Karen of Fredericksburg, VA and grandchildren Ashley (Mark) Bowlin, Christopher (April) Haskell, Andrea (Christopher) Liptrot, Stephanie (Nicholas) Anania, Matthew Haskell, Rebekah Haskell, Russell Mize, Kenneth (Krystal) Mize, and numerous great grandchildren.

She was predeceased by her parents, her husband, and her brother Gordon Carpenter.
