Suzanne “Sue” Dolores (Hart) Beane

WATERVILLE – Suzanne “Sue” Dolores (Hart) Beane, 82, passed away on April 30, 2024, eight days before her 83rd birthday at Lakewood Continuing Care, Waterville.

Sue was born on May 8, 1941, in Waterville, the daughter of Herbert and Honorine (Poulin) Hart. She graduated from Waterville High School in 1959. She was married to Perley Beane for 62 years.

Sue worked for her father “Hart the Tailor,” Rummel’s Ice Cream, C.F. Hathaway, and voter registry in Waterville. Sue was a past President of the Women’s Auxiliary at the former Osteopathic Hospital. Anyone who knew her would know that she loved planning and organizing a garage sale. She meticulously had everything counted, sealed, and marked. Sue was incredibly talented in several crafts including porcelain doll making and ceramics to name a few. Always eager to go wherever you wanted, she spent as much time with her family as she could.

Sue was predeceased by her parents; her brother, Gerald Hart and his wife Mae, her sisters and their husbands Gloria Isbister (James) Gravel (Roland), Geraldine (Robert) Timmons, Muriel (Robert) Guite, Bernadette (Walter) Williams, and brother-in-law, Donald Freeman.

She is survived by her husband Perley Beane; sisters Harriett (Donald) Freeman and Roberta (Richard) Goodhue, brother-in-law, John Beane and his wife Donna; along with many nieces and nephews.

Her husband and family would like to thank the staff at Lakewood for their care, support, and exceptional kindness to Sue, her husband, and family.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Friday, May 10 at 10 a.m. at Corpus Christi Parish, Silver Street, Waterville. Committal prayers and burial will follow at St. Francis Cemetery.

Arrangements are made through Dan and Scott’s Cremation and Funeral Services in Skowhegan.
