PRESQUE ISLE – Roberta Lewin (Woodcock) Glanville, 71, passed away peacefully Thursday, May 28, 2009, surrounded by her loving family at a Bangor hospital, after a brief illness. She was born Dec. 19, 1937, the daughter of Roland “Earl” Lewin and Wilma Thompkins (Lewin) Goodall. Roberta was a consummate craftswoman, extremely gifted as a quilter. She also loved to do fine needlework, and for a time ran a ceramics business with her sister, Rowena, when they lived together in North Carolina. She loved to read and had a razor sharp intellect. She employed working crossword puzzles. She enjoyed her grandchildren and though she lived some distance away, was present when they each graduated from high school. She also enjoyed her new great-grandson, Quentin. She dearly loved her cats and frequently rescued stray animals. She was an avid gardener with a special love for flowers. Another pastime was family genealogy, with her last few years being spent on gathering family photos. Roberta attended Presque Isle schools and was a graduate of the Class of 1955. Roberta is survived by her son, Russell Woodcock and his wife, Karen, of Mount Vernon; grandchildren, Megan Woodcock of Augusta and Alyssa Woodcock of Worcester, Mass.; great-grandchild, Quentin James of Augusta; sisters, Katherine “Ellen” Lewin Marshall and her husband, Bill, of Fairhope, Ala.; twin sister, Rowena Lewin Ramey of Presque Isle; brothers, Nathan Lewin of East Millinocket and Curtis Lewin and his wife, Sally, of Presque Isle; special niece, Sherry Sutherland of Presque Isle; many other nieces, nephews and cousins. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by sisters, Kaye Lewin Miranda and Rita Lewin; and nephew, Kurt Lewin. A graveside memorial service will be held at a later date at Fairmont Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations be sent to Central Aroostook Humane Society, 26 Cross St., Presque Isle, ME 04769.
