Michael Everett Lane Jr.

Michael Everett Lane, Jr. (“Mikey”), 36, of South Portland, Maine, passed unexpectedly on March 16, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of loyalty, love, and unforgettable presence.

He was born on May 25,1989, in Portland, the son of the late Jackie Marena and Michael Lane Sr.

Mikey will be remembered for the connections he built, the friendships he held with loyalty and depth, his unwavering dedication to protecting those who turned to him for help, and his uncanny ability to make you smile—if not laugh—with his unmistakable “That’s Mikey for ya” ways.

His soul‑piercing blue eyes overlooked nothing; even in silence, he understood the weight people held inside, just as instinctively as he read the ocean he loved.

Those who knew him understood the ocean wasn’t just something he appreciated—it was part of who he was, something rooted deep within him. Like the sea, Mikey was untamed and free, often carrying both chaos and strength at once, yet undeniably powerful and compelling in his own way. He was never meant to be confined.

He had an undeniable need for speed, especially on snowmobiles and motorcycles—his happiest moments were spent riding wide‑open and free.

He is survived by his father, Michael Lane Sr., and his wife, Ann Lane; his sister, Kristina Lane; his son, Jaxson A. Lane; and Jaxson’s mother, Ashley Upton, along with her daughter, Lailah Cresci. He also leaves behind numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and numerous friends he considered family. He was predeceased by his grandparents, Barbara Mackey and Betty and Everett Lane; his mother, Jackie Merena; and his best friends, Stephen Foster and Nick Murdock. Services will be announced at a later date.

Mark Nelson Fohlin

Mark Nelson Fohlin, a long time resident of Green Street, Gorham, Maine passed away on March 26th, 2026 at the age of 87. He was born on March 22nd, 1939 to Herbert and Mildred Fohlin and grew up in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts. He met his beloved wife of 63 years, Stella Wilson (from Dublin, Ireland), on Cape Cod, where she worked as a nanny. Mark graduated from Boston College and served in the Coast Guard Reserves. He worked as a purchasing manager at Honeywell and Data General before retiring.

They had three daughters, Darragh Ferranti (Edward), Deborah Lord (Michael), and Deirdre Keliher (Patrick). He instilled in his daughters a love of the outdoors and the importance of following their passions. Mark had many hobbies over the years, including flying small planes, scuba diving, sailing, golfing, hunting, and fishing. He and Stella enjoyed travel to Ireland and Alaska, as well as the Caribbean and the Grand Canyon. They realized their dream of owning a Maine camp when they found the perfect place in Denmark Maine after retirement and they spent many happy hours there with friends and family.

Mark valued his friends and took the time to call them and to have coffee regularly. He went on fishing trips to Alaska, Maine sporting camps, and upstate New York with them many times over the years. We thank them all for their love and friendship.

Mark and Stella were a vibrant part of their Green Street neighborhood over the last 40 years and greatly miss their neighborhood friends, especially Pete, Lou, Becca and Caleb, who have been lifelong friends and who have been so very helpful watching over their beloved home over the last year. We thank them for their love and support.

Mark was diagnosed several years ago with a rare disease called Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder. He was able to maintain his physical ability until recently due to his high level of fitness, obtained through a lifetime of walking and other exercise, especially his beloved golf, at which he excelled. Even in assisted living, he was committed to his physical and occupational therapy to maintain his function to the end of his life.

The family wishes to thank everyone at The Enclave in Scarborough, Maine who have lovingly cared for Mark and Stella (and their family) since they began residing there in January of 2025. We thank Dr. Catherine Cadigan for her recent compassionate care. We also wish to thank Gentiva Hospice for their wonderful care and support of Mark and his family over the last week of his life.

A small family celebration of life will be held later this year. In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory may be made to Defeat MSA Alliance at www.defeatmsa.org. Condolences may be sent to Stella Fohlin, 18 Black Point Rd. Apt. 212 Scarborough ME 04074.

In Loving Memory: Betsy Strong Kent (1931–2026)

Elizabeth (Betsy) Strong Kent, a lifelong athlete, dedicated librarian, and cherished matriarch, passed away peacefully on February 27, 2026, at the age of 94. Born on June 19, 1931, in Hanover, New Hampshire, Betsy’s life was defined by her grace, her tenacity, and a deep-seated love for the mountains. For 50 years, Jackson, New Hampshire, was her cherished retreat before becoming her permanent, beloved home.

A Life on the Slopes

Betsy was perhaps most at home on the snow. An exceptional alpine ski racer, she first made her mark at Middlebury College, where she was team captain during an era that helped define collegiate skiing. Her passion for the sport didn't fade with age; she continued to dominate the slopes well into her later years as a competitive Master-level racer, earning the respect and admiration of the skiing community for her technique and spirit.

A Mind for History and the Open Road

While her athletic prowess was legendary, her intellectual curiosity was equally boundless. A true lover of books and a passionate genealogist, Betsy shared her reverence for literature and history with her community. She worked as a corporate librarian in Boston and later at the Plaistow Public Library in New Hampshire. In her later years, she graciously gave her time as a volunteer librarian at both the Jackson Public Library and the Gladys Brooks Memorial Library, located within the Mount Washington Observatory Valley Offices in North Conway.

Her adventurous spirit also found expression far beyond the snow. Betsy and her husband, Robert, were avid cyclists who shared a love for exploring the world on two wheels. Together, they embarked on numerous international cycling trips and, in an awe-inspiring feat, rode across North America in their late 60s.

Family and Legacy

Despite her many travels and achievements, Betsy's greatest devotion was always to her family. She is survived by her loving husband and constant companion, Robert L. Kent; her children, Ann (Kevin) Johnson, Dirk (Michelle) Van Curan, Kristin (Peter) Nordblom, Stephen (Laura) Kent, and Linda (Tom) DeLaney; 10 grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren; and her brother, Tom Strong, and sister-in-law, Sonja Strong.

Betsy will be remembered as a woman who could navigate the steepest icy pitches with the same poise she brought to her daily life. She leaves behind a legacy of endurance, laughter, and the reminder that one is never too old to chase a faster time or embark on a new adventure.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a donation to a youth skiing program of your choice, keeping Betsy’s love for the sport alive in the next generation.

Susan A Henry

Dr. Susan Armstrong Henry, a distinguished molecular biologist and visionary academic leader, passed away on March 7, 2026. She was the devoted wife of the late Peter Edward Henry, an artisan whose unwavering support was the cornerstone of her professional journey. A pioneer in yeast genetics and lipid metabolism, Dr. Henry dedicated her life to groundbreaking research and the stewardship of higher education, leaving a lasting mark on several of the nation’s premier research institutions.

Born in Alexandria, Virginia, she grew up in the D.C. area, attending high school in Maryland. Her childhood was defined by international travel due to her father’s career in the Foreign Service. While she lived across the globe, most notably in Russia and Canada, her time in Norway between the ages of 8 and 12 remained her most cherished memory. Her later youth was marked by transitions, including time spent with her grandmother in New Hampshire and with her stepmother’s family in Maryland.

Dr. Henry’s distinguished academic journey began at the University of Maryland, where she earned a B.S. in Zoology (Phi Beta Kappa) in 1968, followed by a Ph.D. in Genetics from UC Berkeley in 1971. After completing postdoctoral research at Brandeis University, she joined the faculty at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 1972, rising to the rank of Professor. Her transition into institutional leadership began at Carnegie Mellon University, where she served as Head of Biological Sciences and later as Dean of the Mellon College of Science. In 2000, she was appointed the Ronald P. Lynch Dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University. A Professor of Molecular Biology and Genetics throughout her tenure, she led the college until 2010 and remained a vital part of the Cornell community as Dean Emerita until her retirement in 2020.

Throughout her career, Dr. Henry contributed to the field of molecular biology. She is most widely recognized for her pioneering research into the genetic regulation of lipid metabolism in yeast, a study that led to the discovery of the “Henry Regulatory Circuit.” This fundamental mechanism dictates whether lipids are used for cellular growth or stored as fat. Her work provided a critical framework for understanding human lipid-based conditions, offering vital insights into the molecular roots of diseases such as obesity and cancer.

Dr. Henry transformed the study of lipids and membranes by placing forward genetic analysis at the center of her work. Her pioneering use of baker’s yeast to define lipid synthesis genes and enzymes provided the essential blueprint for researchers worldwide to map these same pathways in humans. A prolific scholar, her findings were published in the field's most prestigious journals, including Science, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and the Journal of Biological Chemistry. Beyond her primary research, her countless book chapters and review articles remain foundational texts for the next generation of biologists.

Dr. Henry’s immense professional stature was reflected in her decades of continuous research funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and her frequent service on prestigious national and international advisory boards. Her leadership extended to the editorial boards of top-tier journals published by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) and American Society of Microbiology (ASM). Among her most significant honors were the NIH MERIT Award (1991), the ASBMB Avanti Award in Lipids (2013), and Cornell University’s Alice H. Cook Award (2013). Her peers further recognized her contributions by electing her as a Fellow of both the American Academy of Microbiology and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Perhaps Dr. Henry’s most enduring contribution was her dedicated mentorship of countless Ph.D. students and postdoctoral fellows. She took immense pride in their independent successes, watching as her mentees achieved their own scientific breakthroughs and carried her influence into new frontiers. Today, her vision lives on through a global generation of researchers who continue to advance the study of lipid metabolism in her honor.

Dr. Henry is survived by her younger brother, David Armstrong; her daughter, Rebecca Alice Henry, and husband Chris Schafer; her son, Joshua Armstrong Henry, and wife Cheryl Deane; and her four grandchildren, Fiona, Liam, Minerva, and Pearl.

Judith "Judy" Lord Rawding

Judith "Judy" Lord Rawding, a woman whose life embodied faith, love, and dedication to family, passed away peacefully at home on December 25th, 2025, at the age of 84, surrounded by her loving children.

Judy was born on November 12, 1941, in Portland, Maine, to Mary Agnes Curren Lord and Daniel J. Lord Sr. She is now in the presence of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, whom she loved and trusted faithfully throughout her life.

Judy grew up on Grant Street and Sherman Street in Portland. From a young age, she helped her mother raise her younger siblings, a responsibility she embraced with joy. Her childhood was filled with ice skating at Deering Oaks, playing tennis with her father, and sitting on the family's second-story deck during thunderstorms, watching the lightning and rain with those she loved.

After graduating from Cathedral High School in 1961, and attending USM, Judy began her career at Maine Medical Center, where she worked for many years, first in the Conley Lab and later in the Endocrinology Lab. It was at MMC that she met her devoted husband of 39 years, Clarence Burton Rawding. Judy also worked briefly with Westbrook Rescue as a BLS technician.

Judy and Clarence's first date, a walk in Lincoln Park following Clarence's hospital stay. This marked the beginning of a lifelong partnership. They soon married and moved to the Rawding homestead on Jefferson Street in Westbrook, where Clarence was born, and died. Through years of hard work and sacrifice, they transformed the house into a warm and beautiful home filled with love where they raised their children and later welcomed their grandchildren for many visits and sleepovers.

Judy took great pride in creating a welcoming space for family and friends. Her care was evident in everything she did-from her Fourth of July parties on her beautifully landscaped lawn to her cherished Christmas Eve gatherings, complete with homemade Christmas cakes and special family recipes. She loved Bible studies, winter trips to Florida as well as Nova Scotia, going to lawn sales, quilting, decorating, and maintaining a neat and well-kept home.

Judy's love for her family was unwavering. She was always the first to arrive and the last to leave at her grandsons' football and lacrosse games at the Portland and Windham High Schools.

Judy is survived by her children, Dianne R. Mains and her husband Leslie of Windham, Daniel H. Rawding of Westbrook and his long time friend Sherry Garnett of Gorham, and Michael B. Rawding and his wife Kelly of Gorham; her grandchildren Jenna, Skyler, Von, and Forrest Rawding, all of Maine; her beloved 'Nana joys'," Grant Jacobson of Portland and Griffin Jacobson of Naples; and her treasured great-grandson, her sunshine, Luke Jacobson .

She is also survived by her faithful childhood friend, Joanne Lathem, and her husband Teddy of South Portland; her sister and dear friend, Cynthia Lord Wilson, and her husband David of Sebago Lake; her siblings Suzanne Lord Trask and Stephen B. Lord of South Portland; and her special "little brother", Robert J. Lord, and his wife Kandy of Standish.

Judy was preceded in death by her parents, Mary Agnes Curran Lord and Daniel Joseph Lord Sr.; her beloved husband, Clarence Burton Rawding; and her brother, Daniel Joseph Lord Jr.

In her final days, Judy found comfort in the words of Psalm 23: "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me." Her faith in Jesus Christ and her love for her family sustained her until her final breath.

Judy will be laid to rest at Saccarappa Cemetery in Westbrook, Maine beside her husband Clarence, with a spring burial, date TBD. A celebration of life will be held at her grandson Griffin's house in Naples, Maine following the burial.

Obituary Thomas C Kivler (March 25, 1943, to December 4, 2025)

Thomas Clyde Kivler, age 82, died peacefully on December 4, 2025, at Seaside Nursing Home in Portland, Maine. Called Tom or Tommy, he was born and grew up in his beloved Nanticoke Pennsylvania, the place where he loved to visit his parents, siblings and many cousins, nieces, and nephews throughout his life. An avid fan of football, he also played pick-up basketball through his forties and was an outstanding ping pong player. He loved to eat and even more so, to feed others and was always eager to take any group of family members out to eat. Tom was generous and always quietly supporting the spoken or unspoken needs of others. He is predeceased by his love of the past 30 years, Corinne Keast, his parents and siblings, including Shirley Miles, Emma Conklin, Jesse Kivler, Patricia Peters, and Jerry Kivler. He is survived by his sister, Barabara Halaburda.

He is also survived by four cherished great-grandchildren Landon & Morgan Fournier and Griffin and Fletcher Kivler.

He graduated from Nanticoke High School in 1961 and joined the US Airforce stationed at the Dow Airforce Base where he was a helicopter crew chief. When Dow Airforce Base closed in 1970, he transitioned to the Army where he rose to the rank of Sergeant First Class, working in logistics and supply throughout his career. He retired from the military in 1997. He was proud to be a veteran of the Vietnam War. Many of his military items (such as his helicopter helmet, formal military uniform and medals) can be seen at the Zephyrhills Museum of Military History (Zephyrhills Museum of Military History in Zephyrhills, Florida). He spent his retirement years traveling between Maine and Florida until he came under the excellent care of the Seaside Nursing Home team in 2022, where he lived until his passing. His family is also very grateful for the excellent care Tom received from the Compassus Hospice Care team. Tom was devoted and loving to all in his family and he is dearly missed.

Tom will be interred at the Veteran's Cemetery in Augusta, Maine, in the Spring of 2026. A funeral mass will be held for him on January 31, 2025 at 10:00 AM at the Notre Dame de Lourdes Church located at 283 Water Street, Skowhegan, Maine.
