SARGENTVILLE – Louise J. (Billings) Webb, 85, died Feb. 18, 2005, at a Blue Hill healthcare facility. She was born April 30, 1919, at Attleboro, Mass., the daughter of Albert F. and Mable E. (Trask) Billings. Louise graduated from Sedgwick High School in 1938, walking two and a half miles each day. She was always cheerful, was an exceptionally kind and thoughtful person, and will be remembered as one who was always available to lend a helping hand to friends and neighbors. Louise’s ancestors were some of the first settlers in the Sargentville area and she considered it a special privilege to live in the family home which was built in 1820. She was a member of Harborview Chapter, OES for more than 60 years and held the office of associate matron for more than 20 of those years. Louise worked for area summer residents for many years and could share many memories of caring for their children and their homes. She particularly enjoyed working for her special friends, Susanah and Stanton Waterman for more than 40 years. She is survived by one daughter, Sylvia Wardwell and her husband, Horace, of Sargentville; one grandson, Blaine Wardwell; two great-grandsons, Tyler and Tyson Wardwell; sister, Dorothy Maloney and her husband, Irving; niece, Donna Murgita and her husband, Bruce; and nephew, Albert Maloney and his wife, Nancy. Louise was predeceased by her great-granddaughter, Hannah in 1992; and her husband, Allen (Lee) Webb in 2001. Gifts in Louise’s memory may be made to Sedgwick Vol. Fire Dept., P.O. Box 51, Sedgwick, ME 04676. Friends are invited to visit with the family 5-7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 21, 2005, at the Jordan-Fernald Funeral Home, 141 South St., Blue Hill. Funeral services will be held 11 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 22, at the Sargentville Chapel in Sargentville, with Pastor Steve McFarland officiating. Spring interment will be at the Forest Home Cemetery, Sargentville.
