Everett Harriman Willey

He was born in Waterville and graduated from Waterville High School in 1948. Everett worked in hardware sales and service for Ware Butler, Fox Lumber and Viking Lumber. He was a Rotary Club and Lions Club member, as well as a member of the Tuttle Road United Methodist Church in Cumberland.

Everett’s greatest gift was his love and caring for family and friends. He enjoyed family gatherings with food, fun and laughter. Everett had a passion for photography and was an excellent woodworker. He built a home for his family in Waterville, and he also put love and labor into numerous Christmas gifts for each of his daughters. He will be fondly remembered by his grandchildren for his magic tricks, teasing and jokes.

He was predeceased by three daughters, infant Georgia Ann, Cynthia Wolman, Nancy Pelletier and son-in-law Wayne Keith.

Everett is survived by his beloved wife of 65 years, Joan Soule Willey; daughters Carole Ray and husband George; Wendy Desrochers and husband, Dennis; Jan Keith, as well as sons-in law Ronald Pelletier and Michael Wolman. He is also survived by grandchildren: Adam and wife Angie, Marc and wife Tara, Jared and wife Alaina, Amanda and husband John, Benjamin, Emily and husband Mathew, Craig and wife Gina, Addie and husband James and Ethan. Everett is survived by 16 great grandchildren and several cousins.

Special thanks to our family and friends at Brentwood Center for Health and Rehabilitation and for the caring support of Gosnell Memorial Hospice House.
