HALLOWELL – Anne E. Stevens, 95, passed away peacefully on Oct. 20, 2019, at the Woodlands Senior Living Center in Hallowell. Anne was born on May 30, 1924 in Hersey, Maine, to Eleazer B. Kennedy and Louise (Hackett) Kennedy of Hersey, Maine.

Anne attended Merrill High School and Patten Academy then moved to Connecticut in 1941 to work at Wallace and Barnes in Bristol making war materials during WWII where she became an inspector for air plane springs. After the war ended, she worked at General Electric in Plainville. Anne later returned to Maine and worked in Noyse’s Grocery Store in Smyrna Mills. In 1946 she married John Stevens and they bought a farm in Dyer Brook, where they farmed for years and raised four children. In 1956 the family moved to Winthrop, Maine. Anne worked in Winthrop for LaVallee’s Photo Shop, then at Wadsworth & Woodman later known as Inmont. When Inmont closed, she worked at Saunders Manufacturing Co in Readfield until she retired in 1986.

Anne and John enjoyed a quiet life with their loving children and grandchildren. They enjoyed their many friends in Winthrop and in 2001 moved to Randolph where they became friends with many more wonderful people. They were very happy in their community.
