Jay Christian Doe
WINSLOW – Jay Christian Doe, 76, of Winslow, passed away on Monday evening May 17, 2021, at his residence after fighting a courageous battle from cancer which was diagnosed in March 2019.
Jay was born in Waterville on Dec. 18, 1944, the son of George and Carolyn Fernald Doe. He attended schools in Windsor graduating from Erskine Academy class of 1962.
After graduating from high school, Jay moved to Boston to work and pursue his education attending Northeastern University night division for nearly five years while working fulltime in the restaurant industry. After five-and-a-half years he returned to his roots to the Augusta area where he met his wife the former Lois Pass in the late ’60s, and they were married on June 21, 1969.
Jay moved to Waterville to take a job as a waiter at the Silent Women Restaurant, and was waiter at the former Steve’s Restaurant for over 15 years. Being a dreamer, Jay decided to make a career change to attend and graduate from Pierre’s School of Beauty with the goal of owning his own business. While attending Pierre’s School of Beauty he worked part-time for his brother-in-law at Jones & Rich Funeral Home in Portland. In 1988, Jay opened his own salon in Waterville naming it Uptown Style. After 30 years, due to ill health Jay decided in March 2020 to retire.
