AUGUSTA – Mary L. Davis, 86, formerly of Palermo, Maine passed away on Sept. 21, 2023, at the Maine Veteran’s Home in Augusta after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. She was born in Lewiston, Maine to Theda (Tompkins) and Leslie Crommett Sr. on March 23, 1937.

For over 35 years, Mary worked as a florist; designing floral pieces and working with customers gave her great satisfaction.

She was a true Mainer who looked forward to camping trips and being outside during all seasons especially while gardening. She also enjoyed decorating her home for every holiday season.

Mary was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary and TOPS. In her last years, Mary could often be seen holding her baby dolls which gave her great comfort.

Mary was predeceased by her husband, William J. Davis; her daughter, Heidi Glidden; and siblings, Leslie Crommett Jr., Myrtie Nowlin, and Joanne Shorey. Her brother, Herbert Crommett joined Mary in the afterlife later on same day, Sept. 21, 2023.
