Jane C. Doucette

AUBURN – Jane C. Doucette, 81, of Auburn, passed away Friday, November 11, 2016 after a long battle with cancer. Jane was born in Westbrook and raised in Auburn. She is a graduate of Edward Little High School and the University of Maine in Orono. After college she was hired by the City of Lewiston teaching English at the Junior High School. There she met Richard, and they were married on June 29, 1969. In May of 1971 they gave birth to their only child, Lynne. Jane retired from teaching to raise her daughter, and later returned to work as a clerk at the Auburn Public Library; a perfect job for the avid reader that she was. Jane also enjoyed knitting, crossword puzzles, and her flower gardens.

Jane is survived by her husband Richard, daughter Lynne, and the New York crew as they are so aptly called. She is predeceased by her parents, Charles and Hazel; her step mother, Margaret; her aunts, Helen and Elaine and uncles, Cedric and Maurice.
