Dorothy was born January 14, 1927, the daughter of Horace and Rubie Pillsbury Mann of Freeport. She was a 1944 graduate of Freeport High School and the Maine Eye and Ear Infirmary in 1947 while preparing for her service in the Cadet Nurse Corps. She was a registered nurse.
In 1950 she married William A. Maybury of Freeport. She is survived by her children Louise R. Grant of Freeport, Ruth M. Knippa of Bowdoin, and Richard (Susan) Maybury of Syracuse, NY. She was predeceased by her husband, son David L. Maybury, brother James Mann, and sister Alma Hancock. Dorothy also leaves six grandchildren: Lucas Knippa of Bowdoinham; William (Amy) Maybury of Madison, WI; Audra Knippa of Lisbon; Karin (Chris) Faiella of Burbank, CA; Rubie (Neil) Jackson of Linthicum, MD; and Heather (Ken) Shierman of Bel Air, MD; six great grandchildren (with two more on the way), as well as many nieces and nephews.
Dot was a member of the Freeport Congregational Church, Wolfe’s Neck Club, and a past District Deputy Grand Matron of the Order of the Eastern Star. She leaves a rich legacy of selfless service to her family, extended family, neighbors, and her community. She will be greatly missed.
Dot and her family are very grateful for the kindness and consideration of the staff at Bay Square in Yarmouth over the past three years and for the staff at CHAN’S Home Health & Hospice.
