Annie lived through several misfortunes in her life, but she was continually strengthened by her Christian faith. Her favorite Bible verse was 1 Peter 5:10: "The God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself restore you and make you strong, firam and steadfast."
Her mother, Mary Curtis Lee, died when Annie was still a child. Her farher, Arthur, worked as a lumberman in the Maine woods and would be away from his family for days at a time, leaving the children to virtually raise themselves. Often, they had little to eat.
Guy and Annie had two children, Irving and Greta. Irving died of leukemia while in his 40's. Greta was run over by a car when she was 3 and was permanently handicapped. Annie cared for Greta her entire life.
Annie was a remarkable woman, and we are proud to include her and her story in this record.

Arlene graduated from Hollis High School in 1941. For 30 years, she drove a school bus for the local schools (MSAD #6). She earned the nickname "Woody" or "Ms Woody," although to her family she was "Nana" and "Big Nana." She was proud that, in the 1980's, she won 2nd Place in a State School Bus Rodeo Competition.
Among her many interests were golf (her CB handle was "Goofy Golfer"), snowmobiling, sports (especially the Boston Red Sox and Celtics and the Bonny Eagle School's teams), oil painting and the daily "Crypto Quip" puzzler in the newspaper. She was convinced that the key to longevity was an active mind.
"Arlene's personality was larger than life and her heart was as big as the ocean. Once you had a conversation with her, you wouldn't forget her words of wisdom. She had a great spirit and a zest for life. She was one in a million."
She is buried in the South Buxton (Tory Hill) Cemetery.
