Avis de décès de Cecilia-Jean Adams

ORRINGTON - Cecilia Jean Adams Legge Bertolet, most precious and beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend, passed away peacefully, March 30, 2005, surrounded by loving family. She was born July 9, 1924, in Bournemouth, England, to William and Emily Francis Adams. Cecilia studied dance beginning at 3 years old and at 17 was accepted into what is now known as the Royal Ballet. She was blessed with the voice of an angel and during World War II performed in over 500 troop shows. Cecilia and her husband, Donald, are still remembered for the many hours of musical entertainment they provided their patrons at the family business, The Islesboro Inn, in Islesboro. Widowed at a young age she subsequently married Frederick Bertolet who also predeceased her. Cecilia was an avid traveler and loved New Zealand, especially her adored friends, Ann and Bill Harris. She enjoyed knitting, reading, cooking, gardening, feeding the birds and long distance swimming but she was happiest when surrounded by her family and friends. Cecilia believed strongly in the Heart to Heart program at Eastern Maine Medical Center and enjoyed volunteering in the program. She was also extremely proud of our military men and women and was honored to be a Maine Troop Greeter. Although born British she was a proud American by choice. She is survived by the loves of her life, Sandra Wardwell, William Legge, Diana Winthrop-Denning and Walter Legge; her grandchildren, Adam, Debbie, Billy, Ken, Cee-Cee, Michael and Lee; as well as five great-grandchildren. Cecilia was sunshine, warmth, and laughter; she lived wisely, loved generously, and she brought true and lasting happiness to all who knew her.
