MEDWAY – Carole A.

She enjoyed crocheting and going for long Saturday rides – teedles. She loved shopping at Marden’s, any one of them, and was known by her husband as a “loon” shopper. In addition to her husband, Sutt, she is survived by three daughters, Dawn and Blane York of Medway, Patricia Jacobs and Joe Lavoie of Millinocket, and Michele and Leroy Charette of Medway; her pride and joy, her six grandchildren, Cody, Chris, Joey, Dylan, Mallory and Cameron; four brothers, Robert and Nellie DeWitt of Medway, Richard and Betsy DeWitt of South Paris, Neal and Jill DeWitt of East Millinocket, and David and Nancy DeWitt of Millinocket; a “special younger” sister, Linda Elward of Medway; a sister-in-law, Gerry DeWitt of Medway; several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.
