WATERVILLE – Betty Lee Gervais, 74, passed on Oct. 5, 2022 at Maine Medical Center, Portland. She was born March 3, 1948, in Waterville, the daughter of Philip and Ruth (Parks) Gervais.
She grew up in St. Charles, Ill., graduating from the University of New Hampshire with a botany degree. She managed a greenhouse of fast growing trees for a reforestation project.
Betty loved plants and she loved cats. She was a single lady who enjoyed reading extensively. When she was younger she adventured on a trip around the country to see the redwoods and the Florida Keys, always looking for kinds of plants she hadn’t seen before.
Betty is survived by her mother, Ruth Gervais, sister Gloria Gervais and brother, James Gervais, all of Unity.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
Arrangements are by Lawry Brothers Funeral Home, Fairfield.
