WATERVILLE – Dolores C. (Quirion) Cryan, 83, passed away on April 29, 2022, surrounded by family after a brief illness.

She was born on Dec. 12, 1938, the daughter of Albert and Leda (Talbot) Quirion. She was educated in Winslow Public Schools and Mount Merici Academy and spent her life in Winslow, North Vassalboro, and on Lake Moxie in the Forks Plantation. She was a member of St. John the Baptist church in Winslow. Dolores was also a member of snowmobile and ATV clubs in the Lake Moxie area.

Dolores married Robert F. Cryan, Sr. on Sept. 7, 1964, and they shared more than 57 wonderful years. Dolores worked at Thayer Hospital and area woolen mills. She retired from Oak Grove Nursing Home at the age of 62.

Dolores spent as much time as she could with her husband, kids, grandkids, extended family, and friends at her cottage on Lake Moxie where she was the happiest. She enjoyed boating, fishing, snowmobiling, ATVing, and playing cards. She also enjoyed traveling, dining out, and the “occasional” nap. Delores adored her grandchildren, loved doting on them and never missed an opportunity to tell them how she loved them to the moon and back. She was the centerpiece of the family where her love and generosity knew no limits.

She is survived by her two children, Robert F. Cryan, Jr. and his wife, Brianna, and their two children Nicholas R. and Eliana M. Cryan of Oviedo, Fla.; and daughter, Kimberly A. (Cryan) Vicnaire and her husband Brent, and their two sons, Cameron P. and Brady R. Vicnaire of Waterville, girlfriend Kylee Hamm of Fairfield. She is also survived by her brother, Roger Quirion and wife Debbie as well as sisters-in-law Lorraine Quirion and Doris Quirion, all of Winslow; and many loving nieces and nephews and cousins.

Dolores was predeceased by her husband Robert; by her parents Albert and Leda (Talbot) Quirion; by three sisters, Lorraine Morey and her husband Ted Morey, Gloria Quirion, and Pauline Carrier and husband Robert Carrier, and also three brothers, Ronald Quirion, Raymond Quirion and wife Enid Quirion, and Robert Quirion.

There will be no visiting hours. A graveside service will be held at a later date at the Veterans Cemetery in Augusta at which time Dolores will be laid to rest with her husband, Robert.

Arrangements are under the direction and care of Dan and Scott’s Cremation, 445 Waterville Rd., Skowhegan, ME 04976.
