BANGOR – Juliet S. Kellogg, 88, lifelong resident of Bangor, died Feb. 8, 2007, in Bangor, after a long period of declining health. Born Aug. 19, 1918, as Juliet Miller Spangler, in Bangor, she was the daughter of Edward W. Spangler Jr. and Lillian F. Spangler. She graduated from the Bangor public school system, then Wheaton College, Norton, Mass., where she earned an A.B. in zoology in 1939. Julie earned a master’s degree in zoology in 1941 from the University of Maine. She worked as a researcher at Cold Spring Harbor Biological Lab, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, the Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Cornell University Biological Labs and the National Cancer Institute. She worked with four people who went on to win Nobel prizes. While working at Cornell University, New York City, she met her husband, Robert Orcutt Kellogg Jr. of Brooklyn, N.Y.; they were married in 1943. Julie had a long and committed career of voluntarism, public service and playing the cello in the Bangor Symphony Orchestra. Other institutions Julie served, often in leadership roles, were the Bangor Historical Society, PEO Sisterhood, Chapter B Maine, the Junior League, the Bangor Historic Preservation Commission, the Shakespeare Club, the Good Samaritan Home, the Housing Foundation, the Abbe Museum of Bar Harbor, the American Field Service, bringing foreign students to Bangor High school, and her lifelong church, St. John’s Episcopal Church, Bangor. Over a period of about 15 years, Julie and Bob had six children. In the autumn of 1960, they were joined by a seventh, Gerardo Bogarin Benavides of Costa Rica, who lived with the family for one year and remained very close to the Kellogg family. Julie’s interests included history, canoeing and travel; she and Bob Kellogg traveled worldwide and throughout Maine. As an adult, Julie took up the cello, studying with her cello teacher, Marion Horan, for many years and playing with the Bangor Symphony Orchestra for 35 years. Music, particularly cello music, gave Julie great pleasure throughout her life. Her husband, Bob, Dr. Robert Kellogg, died in 1999. She is survived by her six children, Bob Kellogg of Cape Cod, Juliet “Judy” Kellogg Markowsky of Orono, Elizabeth “Betty” Kellogg and her husband, John Grauerholz, of Leesburg, Va., Zip Kellogg of Portland, Sara Kellogg Meade and her husband, Jeffrey Meade, of Am-herst, N.H., and Mary Kellogg and her husband, Walter Jakubas, of Hampden. She is also survived by her two sisters, Elizabeth “Betty” Evans and Mary Eddy, both of Camden; and four grandchildren, Gregory and Theodore Mar-kowsky, Benjamin and Jacob Meade. Julie’s children wish to acknowledge the wonderful, high quality care that Julie received in her last years from the staffs at Sylvia Ross Home, New England Home Health Care, Hospice of Eastern Maine, Boyd Place and Eastern Maine Medical Center. A memorial service will be held 11 a.m. Monday, Feb. 12, at St. John’s Episcopal Church and a reception will be after the service in the undercroft of the church. Interment will be at Mount Hope Cemetery. Those who wish to contribute in Julie’s memory may make gifts to the Bangor Symphony Orchestra, P.O.
