Mavis became ill Feb. 2 and just three short weeks later, she was gone. She was a great lady and her family and friends will miss her dearly.

When she was in her 50s, she became a certified nurse’s aide and worked at Colonial Acres, Lincoln, for several years. She loved her job and the people she met there.
Mavis is survived by her oldest son, Dennis and his wife, Mary. They have three children, Lewis and his wife, Dana Rae, of Lowell and their families; Sonya Erving and her companion, Bill Labonte, of Corinna and their families; and Melissa Noonan and her husband, Tim, and their daughter, Hannah.
