NEWPORT – Carmeletta J. Crommett, “Carmie,” 74, a native of Clinton, entered into eternal life Aug. 17, 2011, at a local hospital. She was born Feb. 19, 1937, at Seton Hospital, Waterville, the daughter of John Humphrey and Charlottie (Brace) Crommett of Clinton.
She was educated in the Clinton school system. She started out at 10 years old babysitting her niece, Doreen, for $5 a day. She also worked at a local diner in Clinton. The next 40 years were spent with the father of her children, Herbert Bean Jr. of Plymouth, working alongside him on the chicken farm. Carmie spent 12 years working as a deli/bakery associate at Shop ‘n Save, Pittsfield, alongside her daughter, Maria, and then retired. The last 14 years were spent at her residence in Newport enjoying visits from family, friends, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and especially a great-niece, Ashli (Farrington) Hussey and her son, Jackson, of Winslow. Carmie enjoyed making trips to southern California to her niece’s residence, where she was able to be present at the time of the adoption of her first granddaughter, Therese Marie. Her Pomeranian dog, Teddy, had been giving her love and companionship for the last three years.
She is survived by her companion of 40 years, Herbert Bean Jr. of Plymouth; daughters, Jeannette R. Crommett of Pittsfield and Maria L. Trask and husband, Reggie; a son, Kevin W. Crommett and wife, Terry; sisters, June Iannicheri and husband, Fred, and Dolores Hassen; brothers, Wayne Crommett and wife, Sue, and Joseph Crommett; granddaughters, Therese M. Nickerson and husband, Ryan, Rebecca L. Trask, Heather L. Folsom and Nikkia R. Washington; great-grandson, Logan C. Dodge; and great-granddaughters, Brielle K. Nickerson and Kailynn Brasher. Carmie will be sadly missed by several nieces, great-nieces, nephews, great-nephews, cousins and many friends. She was predeceased by a very special, and only grandson at the time, Christopher W. Braley, in May 1985; her parents, John and Charlottie (Brace) Crommett; sisters, Lottie Larcque, Leona Prentiss, Mildred Dovell, Virginia Poulin and Lillian Folsom; and brothers, Kenneth Crommett and wife, Virginia, John Crommett and Irving Crommett and wife, Rosie.
There will be a private family cemetery ceremony at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of Carmeletta J. Crommett to Ronald McDonald House. Arrangements under the care and direction of Dan & Scott’s Cremation & Funeral Service, 445 Waterville Road, Skowhegan.
