WINSLOW – Michael Joseph Dumont, 70, passed peacefully surrounded by his girls on April 17, 2023, after a courageous 16-year battle with Alzheimer’s Disease.

Michael was born on Dec. 30, 1952, in Waterville to the late Reginald and Yvette (Mailloux) Dumont. He graduated from Waterville High School in 1971.

Michael was very proud of the home he built in Freedom and his love of the land where he spent so much time. He had a long career as an electrician with IBEW local 1253 for 32 years, which allowed him to travel with his family. Michael was happily married to “his Mary” for 36 years. Very much a family man, he was much loved and cared for by his girls.

Always surrounded by friends and family, Michael enjoyed being outdoors and spending time on the lake ice fishing and boating. He could be found on the dance floor wearing his cowboy boots or jamming to the music playing the spoons around the campfire.

He was proud of his French heritage and enjoyed conversing in the language every opportunity he had. Michael always had a helping hand for friends and family with an infectious laugh. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends and all who knew him.

Michael is survived by his wife, Mary (White) Dumont; daughters Riva Dumont and Michelle and husband Matthew Leavitt; and his grandchildren Kashton and Nola; his siblings Brenda Hjort (Brian), Cathy Nason (Jay), Regina Nadeau and Jeffrey Dumont, sister-in-law, Doris Grant and brother-in-law, Frank White; and many nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, Michael was predeceased by his in-laws William and Frances (Eaton) White; sister-in-law, Bette Morse and husband Leslie (Skipper), brother-in-law, Larry Grant; and many aunts and uncles.
