She later worked as a validation specialist at Pfizer. After retiring, she spent time volunteering at Port Healthcare in Newburyport, often bringing in her beloved dog, Daisy, to visit with residents.Linda was a talented artist and seamstress whose hands were always busy creating beauty.

<![CDATA[The Daily News of Newburyport: Obituaries]]> (14)

Newburyport - It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Maxine S. (Hertel) Steeves age 95, longtime resident of Newburyport, a woman of strength, wisdom and grace, she passed peacefully on Wednesday, November 13, 2024. Maxine was the devoted wife and partner of Rev. Bertrand H. Steeves for 68 wonderful years. She will be forever cherished and remembered by all who were fortunate enough to know her.Born on March 29, 1929, in Fitchburg, she was the beloved daughter of the late Max and Emma (Lamothe) Hertel. After graduating from Fitchburg State Teachers College with a bachelor's degree in education, she sought to educate the minds of young people in the communities of Fitchburg and Leominster, MA. This drive would continue later with private tutoring at home for students and adults with learning disabilities.In 1952, she married the one and only love of her life, Bertrand H. Steeves, (save for a lighthearted crush on author A.D.III, which was well known to Bert and the family).From 1956 – 1994, she joined her husband and his calling to the First Religious Society, Unitarian Universalist Church in "Yankee City" (Newburyport), where she was not just the First Lady but a passionate advocate for justice and civil rights. Here, as the powerful woman she was, she stood by his side fighting racial injustices, LGBTQ and Civil Rights, even going as far as to go out in the middle of the night to spray paint over neo-Nazi skinhead graffiti like some kind of ninja for justice. She marched with MLK and fostered a small child from Kenya, who grew up to have a large part in South Africa apartheid. At home, she hosted dignitaries from across the globe and shared with them an average life in a small New England community. In these roles, she maintained her grace, wisdom, and a sense of delightful humor as she flourished and touched the lives of countless individuals, all of whom loved and respected her. Through this work she was recognized with many accolades and tributes including entrance into the Clara Barton Sisterhood, honoring her enduring legacy of courage and compassion.Maxine and her family enjoyed many wonderful summers at their cottage in Fryeburg Maine, soaking in the natural beauty and tranquility of their surroundings. She was also known to bring English flashcards along on these summer vacations, much to the dismay of her children. As if that wasn't enough, she also forced anyone present to play Scrabble (which she always won and knew she would). If you knew the difference between "There" and "Their", you had her undivided attention.With her devotion to the English language, her life experiences in and out of the church, involvement in a writing club and just maybe emulation of A.D.III, at the age of 72, Maxine became a published author of booklets, "Glimpses of the Past" and "Root and Branches".The gift of her life will continue to be treasured by her children, Jonathan R. Steeves and his children, Stephanie L., Samantha L. Steeves Horrock and Justin Steeves and their mother Debra A. (Baikewicz) Steeves; Kathryn W. Steeves and husband Stephen I. Weiss, and their children, Nathaniel J.S. Weiss and Jacob E.W. Steeves and grand-stepson Aaron and his family; and Christopher I. Steeves and husband Thomas J. Brewer and grand-step daughter, Jennifer and her family, along with extended family and dear friends which were many. Maxine's impact extended beyond her family to countless individuals within the communities of Newburyport, Fryeburg, and up and down the coast, where she created lasting bonds of respect and admiration.In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the First Religious Society Unitarian Universalist and the Newburyport Public Library where she enjoyed a good book sale especially during buck-a-bag day.The family will have a burial at Oak Hill Cemetery, Newburyport, sometime in August of 2025, where Bert and Maxine will be laid to eternal rest together. Arrangements were made by Elliott, Woodworth & Rogers Family Funeral Home, 35 Green Street, Newburyport, MA 01950.

Newburyport - Jerry Clifford Lischke passed away gently at home in the warm embrace of his family on Thursday afternoon.Jerry was born in New Rochelle, NY to Franklin and Martha Taylor Lischke, and raised in Ridgefield, CT. His love of cars kicked in at an early age, and he rebuilt the engine of a 1940 Ford while still in high school.In 1966, after attending Roanoke College and Babson Institute, Jerry married the love of his life, Catherine Elizabeth (Bette) Hanlon. They moved to Newbury in 1967. Jerry began working at Davis Electric in Newburyport, where he excelled as an auto mechanic and developed a following for high performance engines.

Jerry was a highly regarded Newburyport Broker for fifty years.Jerry was passionate about breathing new life into old buildings (as well as old cars) and restored over forty antique properties in the greater Newburyport area.

Scranton - Florence Irene Kretsch (nee Riggs), of Scranton, PA, formerly Amesbury, MA, passed away peacefully on Saturday, October 26, 2024 at the Elan Skilled Nursing and Rehab Center of Scranton.

Florence graduated from Scranton Technical High School in 1952, and the Hahnemann Nursing School in 1955. She was a proud nurse, working well into her adult life, most notably at the Hahnemann Hospital (now Geisinger CMC) maternity ward in Scranton, before taking time to raise her children.

<![CDATA[The Daily News of Newburyport: Obituaries]]> (29)

Newburyport - Melbourne "Bill" Babcock passed away peacefully on November 5th, 2024, in a room filled to capacity with his loving family.Bill was born to Melbourne "Mel" Babcock and Elsie Fontaine Babcock on July 25th, 1938 in Lynn, MA. He grew up in Lynn with his three siblings, Jill, Mark, and Debra. He was the eldest of twenty-five grandchildren, and was a beloved nephew, cousin, and friend to many.Bill graduated from St. Mary's Boys High School in 1956 before proudly serving in the Marines from 1958 to 1962. In 1964, he married Lynere A. Babcock, whom he loved unconditionally for 60 years. The two began their family in Byfield, MA, where they lived on Grove Street for nearly six decades. There, they turned their house into a homebase for many. It is where they raised four children, hosted countless friends and neighbors, and was where so many of us turned when we needed a hug, a meal, or just a quick dip in the pool.Bill worked for New England Telephone for 40 years. After his retirement, he spent every free moment with his family. Between his four children and thirteen grandchildren, his schedule was packed, and yet he never missed a game, graduation, or celebration. He racked up countless hours at the Graf Rink and drove hundreds of miles to gymnastics meets, dance competitions, musicals, and everything in between. He made sure his family knew that they were well-loved and that there was always someone cheering them on.Bill's grandchildren and great-grandchildren knew him as "Grumpy," but he rarely lived up to his name. More often, he was funny and sharp, always ready to offer a well-timed joke, song, or story. Even towards the end, he managed to surprise us with how quick he was with his humor – he loved nothing more than making us laugh.Bill was also unquestionably devoted to the places he loved, particularly the Park Lunch, where Lisa was always reliable with his VO Manhattan, and South Arm Campground, where he turned a lakeside campsite with a few picnic tables into a family tradition that will continue for years to come. He had a way of making any place feel special.Although he would never take credit for it, Bill was beyond proud of the family he created and the life he built. We agree. By anyone's calculations, his legacy is certainly something to be proud of.Bill was predeceased by his brother, Mark and sister, Debra. He is survived by his sister Jill Babcock Silk of Beverly, MA, his four children, Katie Christie Demers and husband Bill Demers of Hampstead, NH, Mark Babcock of Gloucester, MA, Keith Babcock and wife, Tracey Marino of Newburyport, MA, and Brian Babcock and wife Leah Babcock of Anchorage, AK, his thirteen grandchildren, Tyler, Jenna, Allie, Luke, Ryan, Sarah, Kate, Emily, Matthew, Bridget, Caroline, Zoe, and Piper, and his two great-grandchildren, Wyatt and Della.We would like to offer our deepest gratitude to Ericka Lewis, who spent so much time caring for Grumpy and our family. We love and appreciate you more than you know. And thank you to the staff at both Fairview Senior Living and Home Health & Hospice Care for all your work. We are grateful for everyone who helped keep Bill comfortable in his final months.Family and friends may call from 4 to 7 p.m. on Monday, November 11, 2024 at the Twomey, LeBlanc, & Conte Funeral Home, 193 High St. Newburyport, MA 01950. His Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, November 12, 2024 at Immaculate Conception Church, all are invited to join the family at the Church. Burial will be private at a later date.In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Bill's honor to the Alzheimer's Association.For directions or to offer online condolences please visit www.tlcfuneralhome.com.

<![CDATA[The Daily News of Newburyport: Obituaries]]> (39)

Newburyport - Demetrius "Dee" E. Cap passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, October 22, 2024. A longtime resident of Newburyport, Dee was a familiar face around Newburyport, walking his little dachshund pal, Titan, through downtown and along the waterfront, greeting friends and strangers alike with "How lucky are we to live in such a beautiful place?"Born in Judenburg, Austria on May 3, 1947, to Ukrainian refugees Maria (Romanov) and Wasyl Cap, Dee and his family entered the United States in 1957 to forge a new life in Bridgeport, CT. With a strong work ethic, Dee became a licensed crane operator, loading and discharging ships on the Bridgeport waterfront.Introduced to Newburyport in the mid-eighties by his future wife, it was agreed that Newburyport was where they wanted to plant their roots. Dee was deeply committed to volunteering at the Brown School and the Newburyport Skate Park in its early days, opening and closing the gates daily, reminding everyone to wear their protective gear and follow the rules. Though he himself was not always a follower of the rules, he was also the enforcer in his neighborhood, earning him the affectionate title, "Mayor of Spring Street."For decades, Dee was the "go to" handyman for many. Through his work he formed cherished friendships that continued to his death. He was a proud life member of The Dalton Club, remarking to his Dalton brothers, using his trademark expression, "How lucky are we to have a place like this?" The fraternity he found there was a deeply valued part of his life.Family was essential to Dee's life. He is survived by his loving wife of 35 years, C. Suzanne (Gum) Cap, his sons, Demetrius Cap, Jr. (Milford, CT), Andrew Cap and life partner, Christopher Russo (Waterbury, CT), and Christopher Cap and wife, Judi (Old Saybrook, CT), his daughters, Marissa Cap and her wife, Kiera Ryan (Portsmouth, NH), Olivia Cap and husband, Eric Canfield (Newburyport), granddaughters Elizabeth "Libby" Cap and Ashley Cap, brother Slavko Cap, sister Irene Badiak, sister-in-law Cynthia Oliver, brothers-in-law Andrew Gum and Mark Hodder, and several nieces and nephews. Those who predeceased him were his parents, Maria and Wasyl Cap, his brother, Ihor Cap, sisters-in-law Ann Hayes, Debbie Hollenbach, and Allison Hodder, and brother-in-law Rev. Fr. Roman Badiak.Although Dee never physically stood on Ukrainian soil, his heritage was deeply imprinted in his identity. He was passionate in his love for his ancestral homeland. Therefore, we ask in lieu of flowers to please consider a donation to Nova Kahovka for Life, a 501(c)3 organization that provides aid and comfort to those suffering in Ukraine. Their website is https://novakahovka.lifeVisiting hours will be held Friday, November 1, 2024 from 4 to 7 P.M. at the Highland Chapel of Paul C.

<![CDATA[The Daily News of Newburyport: Obituaries]]> (41)

Holland - Our father and Pepere has passed peacefully at home in Holland, Michigan. If you knew Richie (Dewey), you would know him as a selfless, humble, and giving man.Dewey graduated from Newburyport High School in 1966. Some of his lifelong and fondest memories would be playing football, either behind the French School or at the High School. He always thought of Newburyport as a hidden gem and in more recent years would joke that it wasn't so hidden anymore. He would love to walk around town and talk about the old days, hanging out at the Y or shooting pool. During the Vietnam War, he served as a medic in Germany, helping the wounded and even the occasional local giving birth. After his service to his country, Dewey pursued his love of airplanes and the dream of flight, working for Eastern Airlines for over two and a half decades (based at Logan, Orlando (MCO) or Disney World).Dewey was known for his genuine concern for others, love for his family, airplanes, faith, donuts and football. He was also known for always running late. When walking to grade school at the French Church, his siblings would be chiding him to "hurry up, we are going to be late". He spent his life always more interested in the journey than the destination. In the end, that beautiful, giving heart had to rest.With every passing sunset on Plum Island or Lake Michigan he will forever be in our thoughts. He is survived by his wife, Joanne Doucette, his sons, Brian Doucette, Rick Doucette Jr and daughter-in-law, Kelly, and daughter, Danielle Doucette, his adoring grandkids, Brooke, Taylor, Zach, Elle, Autumn, Jacqueline, Brandon, Blake, and Brice, his siblings, Ronald Doucette (spouse Charlotte) and Dianne Hill Doucette and his cousin, Janice Coulter.Awaiting his arrival are his parents, Raymond and Beatrice Doucette (née Chatigny), his daughter, Suzanne, granddaughter, Brittany, and many other aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Owen, a longtime resident of Newburyport and a national and international authority on the history and music of the pipe organ, passed away peacefully on October 14, 2024, at the age of 91.Ms. Owen received her Bachelor of Music degree from Westminster Choir College in 1955, and her Master of Music degree in musicology from Boston University in 1962, as a student of the eminent scholar Karl Geiringer. She pursued advanced study in Europe at the North German Organ Academy and the Academy of Italian Organ Music.In 1963, Barbara became Director of Music at the First Religious Society, Unitarian Universalist in Newburyport, MA, a distinguished tenure she held for 38 years. She is remembered especially for her direction of the Candlelight Choir Christmas concerts and for founding the youth and high school choirs. Retiring from First Religious in 2002, she then served other churches as an interim or substitute music director and organist. For much of that same time, 1961 to 1979, Barbara worked as a voicer with C.B. Fisk, Inc. of Gloucester, MA, renowned builders of pipe organs.Across several centuries of American Organ activity, no one has touched so much of it as Barbara did. At one or another stage over a remarkable seven decades she was builder, restorer, author, researcher, advocate, consultant, musician, editor, lecturer, hymn writer, librarian, and mentor. Above all, she will be remembered for her commitment to aspiring organists, organ builders and her writings. These range from standard-bearing volumes on 19th-century organ builders and players, to a noted biography of E. Power Biggs; the registration of baroque organ music and the organ music of Brahms; to finely-crafted monographs on regional locales and such famous organs as Tabernacle on Temple Square (or the Salt Lake City Tabernacle) and Methuen Memorial Music Hall. Barbara was also a peripatetic traveler, visiting and studying organs all over the world.Owen served in numerous capacities for the Boston and Merrimack Valley Chapters of the American Guild of Organists, including Deanships for both chapters. For many years she was Librarian for the Boston AGO Organ Library, housed at Boston University. Also, she served as national president of the Organ Historical Society, an organization she founded in New York City in 1956, with a group of other young organists and enthusiasts.The Methuen Memorial Music Hall, home of the 1863 Great Organ from the Boston Music Hall, was another of Barbara's dedicated interests. As a Trustee there for 34 years (1989 - 2023), Owen was a leading member of the Program Committee and frequently was organist for weddings.Born in Utica, NY, to Welsh immigrants David and Vera Owen, Barbara was the oldest of three sisters. In her early elementary school years, the family moved to New Haven, CT, where Barbara made the most of the educational and musical opportunities on offer there. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her youngest sister Beverly Owen. She is survived by her sister and brother-in-law Mona and Frank Fucci and their children.In her beloved Newburyport, Owen was an ongoing volunteer and supporter of the First Religious Society as well as the Merrimack River Feline Rescue Society since its inception in 1992. Her home always had one or more beloved feline companions. She was a person who looked outward, a daily and unfailing servant friend to all people, animals and the earth, and she expressed gratitude and generosity throughout her life.In sturdy health almost her entire life, a broken hip hastened her final weeks. Her last months and days were marked by the steadfast companionship of devoted friends and church members.A memorial celebration of her extraordinary life will be planned for 2025. Burial will be private. Donations in her name may be made to The Merrimack River Feline Rescue Society, in Salisbury, MA, and The First Religious Society in Newburyport. Arrangements were by Elliott, Woodworth & Rogers Family Funeral Home, 35 Green Street, Newburyport, MA 01950.
