PLAINVILLE, CONN. – Marion (Harvey) Gagnon, 86, of Plainville, Conn., passed away on Wednesday, June 8, 2005, at Bristol Hospital.

Marion was born in St. Francis, of Feb. 26, 1919, one of four daughters to the late Belone and Agnes (Jandreau) Harvey. She lived in the Fort Kent area until 1978, until moving to New Britain, Conn.
