Phyllis R. Poulin

Phyllis Poulin, age 78, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loved ones, on January 19th. Phyllis was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and sister who touched the lives of many with her kindness, strength, and unwavering love. She leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories that will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew her.

Phyllis was born on December 11, 1946, and was married to Daniel Poulin on August 9, 1969. Together for 55 years, they built a beautiful life filled with love, laughter, and joy.

Phyllis was a proud and loving mother to her daughter, Kirsten Poulin Crafts, and her daughter's fiancé, Joey Brown. She was especially proud of her three grandsons: Connor Crafts, Parker Crafts, and Griffin Crafts, as well as her two step grandsons: Hayden Brown, and Landon Brown, all of whom brought immense joy to her life. She loved the family dog, Bagel, as well. Phyllis' warmth and nurturing spirit left a lasting impression on her family, and she was a guiding force in their lives.

In addition to her family, Phyllis is survived by her beloved brothers: Raymond Gagnon and wife Claudette, Paul Gagnon and wife Joyce, Daniel Gagnon and wife Donna and her cherished step-sister Jeanna Civiello and husband Dennis and numerous nieces and nephews, as well as many friends who will miss her deeply. She was loved by all who had the privilege of knowing her, and her kind and generous heart will be remembered by everyone who was touched by her presence.

Phyllis will be remembered for her infectious joy in life's simplest pleasures, especially her passion for shopping, dining out, and hosting memorable gatherings. She created a summer sanctuary at her pool, where neighborhood kids first splashed around, eventually welcoming her grandchildren, grandnieces, grandnephews, and more. Her home was always filled with laughter, and her hospitality was limitless. Phyllis’s generous spirit and love for creating lasting memories with those she cared about will leave an unforgettable impression on all who were fortunate enough to know her.

A celebration of life to follow at a later date in Lewiston, Maine.

Phyllis' legacy of love, compassion, and devotion to family will never be forgotten. She will always be in our hearts.
