Charles Lawrence Quimby

ALBION – Charles Lawrence Quimby, 62, of Albion, went to be with his Lord and Savior on Dec. 30, 2024, in Augusta. Born on Feb. 27, 1962, Charles was the cream of the crop in both life and his profession as a self-employed dairy farmer.

With a laugh that could be heard over the mooing of cows, Charles was the unofficial “Mayor” of Oak Grove Center, pollinating every conversation with joy and a dash of mischief. He was the life of every barn dance and the soul of every field, a social butterfly who could charm even the most stubborn of goats.

After sprouting his roots at Lawrence High School and blossoming at the University of Maine, Orono, Charles devoted his life to the family farm, where he proved that he could, in fact, have his cake and eat it too – if that cake was made of hay and hard work.

Surviving Charles is his spouse, Gail Quimby; his crop of kids, Lawrence (Heather), Zachary (Ashley), Chelsea (Ryan), and Marsha; his little herd of grandkids: Austin, Brooke, Ryleigh, and Reagan; his sisters, Carla (Howard) and Carrie (David), and his father, Carroll.

He was predeceased by his mother, Charlene Quimby; brother, Craig; and son, Eben. 

A Celebration of Life that promises to be udderly heartwarming will be held at Kennebec Valley Baptist Church on Jan. 3, 2025, at 11 a.m., located at 91 Marston Road, Waterville, ME 04901. A springtime graveside service at Puddledock Cemetery will follow, where we’ll plant our final goodbyes. 

Veilleux-Redington-Lawry Funeral Home in Waterville, Maine is in charge of the arrangements, ensuring that Charles’s send-off is no less than pasture-perfect.
