BANGOR – Ann Marie Machonis, 46, went to be with the Lord, Feb. 16, 2004, at a Bangor hospital. She was born Dec. 9, 1957, in Eglin, Mass., the daughter of Joseph and Dorothy (Poisson) Machonis. Ann had been a faithful Christian for 10 years, her life being dramatically changed for the better. These last two years of trial for her through cancer have done a very deep and eternal work of faith in her. She was able to look to the hills for her help not trusting just in mankind.

She is survived by one daughter, Candace Long of Greenbush; one son, Dakota Joseph Long of Bangor; one grandson, Aaron Leamon McKenney of Greenbush; her father, Joseph Machonis and his wife, Najla of Sunrise, Fla.; her mother, Dorothy and her husband, Harry Lamoureux of Fitchburg, Mass.; two sisters, Cheryl Devio of Margate, Fla., Melissa Paris of Sunrise, Fla.; two brothers, Joseph Machonis III, of Cooper City, Fla., John Machonis of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.; several aunts, uncles, nieces and one nephew.
