Poland, ME - It is with aching hearts that we announce Kathrine E. (Evans) Dunton, 77, of Poland, Maine passed away from lung and bone cancer on Thursday morning, September 7, 2023, in her home filled with love and blessings. Born April 15, 1946, in Boston, Massachusetts, Kathrine was the eldest daughter of Thomas Crane Sr and Alma (Holton) Crane and proud wife of Lovell Dunton for 48 years. She grew up in Roxbury, Massachusetts and attended school in Jamaica Plain. Kathrine left school early to work in a curtain factory until the age of 19 when she moved on to Raytheon where she stayed until 2005 when she retired.

Upon retiring Kathy moved to their vacation home in Poland, Maine. In her free time Kathrine enjoyed crocheting, doing jigsaw puzzles, gardening reading, spending time with her grandchildren and catering to her dogs Kandi, Dani, and especially Pal.
