Lynn Russell Hickerson

ORRINGTON - Lynn Russell Hickerson, 68, died peacefully Friday, April 15, 2011, surrounded by friends in her home. She was born March 8, 1943, in Dayton, Ohio. Lynn grew up in the small ideal college town of Yellow Springs, Ohio, where her father was an engineer for Vernay Laboratories and her stepmother was a social worker. Much of Lynn's childhood was colored by her family's history in civil rights activism and her father's long and precedent-setting fight with the House Un-American Activities Committee, which was won in the U.S. Supreme Court in 1962. While living in Ohio, Lynn spent many happy summers in Maine and in so doing became a Junior Maine guide at Camp Meadowlark. Lynn was also a dedicated flute player and music lover starting from early childhood. She continued her musical studies at Indiana University, where she graduated in 1965. In 1965 she married folksinger Joe Hickerson and moved to the Washington, D.C., area. With Joe she performed locally and nationally and on Folk Legacy Records. Living in Accokeek, Md., south of Washington, D.C., for 14 years, Lynn was an avid community activist, including involvement with Prince Georges County Task Force on Poverty, Alice Ferguson Foundation and President Carter's Task Force for National Heritage Trust Enforcement Committee. In keeping with her lifelong interest in maritime history, Lynn worked for National Trust of Historical Preservation in the office of maritime preservation from 1979 to 1991. Here she facilitated funding for preservation of many Tall Ships, other historic vessels and lighthouses across the entire U.S., as well as managing maritime preservation conferences and promoting legislation for protection of historic shipwrecks. Additionally, she was a leader in the successful effort to change Coast Guard regulations so that authentically restored historic vessels could legally be used for student training. She was particularly pleased by the successful restorations of the Tall Ship Elissa and the schooner Bowdoin. From 1992 to 1994 Lynn lived in Keene, N.H., where she received a degree in marriage and family therapy from Antioch New England. In 1994 she moved to the Bangor area, where she enjoyed remodeling an 1835 house and "farmette" with meticulously planned garden and sheep flock - two ewes, one ram and a new lamb as of last week. But her abiding passion was her new career as a family therapist as she worked with the St. Michael's Center Home-based Family Therapy Program until 2006. It was typical of Lynn's commitment to larger community issues that she helped lead a successful legislative campaign to enable state licensing of private family therapists and provide health insurance coverage for their patients. Recently, when asked why she had finally chosen family therapy for her life work, she replied, "I wanted to prevent needless suffering." Lynn was predeceased by her mother, Marsha Spofford Russell, in 1947; her brother, Peter Ibbotson Russell, in 1967; her father, Norton Anthony Russell, in 1996; and her stepmother, Margery Stewart Russell, in 2007. She is survived by her son, Michael James Hickerson of Brooklyn, N.Y. A memorial gathering for family and friends will be held June 25 in Orrington and in September at a time to be announced in Yellow Springs, Ohio. The CaringBridge website has many notes and photographs sent by friends and will have information about the Peter I. Russell and Lynn R. Hickerson Foundation that has been established in her hometown of Yellow Springs, Ohio, to provide assistance to college freshmen. Please visit

Ruth P. Manzo

WATERVILLE and EDDINGTON - Ruth P. Manzo, 74, wife of the late Earl "Tony" Manzo, died unexpectedly April 17, 2011, at her home in Waterville. She was born Sept. 16, 1938, in Martin's Ferry, Ohio, the daughter of Russell A. and Alberetta (Spect) Garner.

Ruth was predeceased by her daughter, Vicki Manzo. Ruth was a very special person to many people, and was more than a mom, a sister, a grammy and even more than just a "Nana banana." She loved visits from her family and friends, and her mornings were always filled with a good chat over a cup of coffee. She was everyone's shoulder to lean on and always knew just what to say to cheer you up. She had quite the sense of humor and was known for random phone calls, which may have been anything from simple advice, a weather update or maybe just a good idea for something to cook. Family and friends may visit 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Thursday, April 21, at Kiley & Foley Funeral Service, 69 State St., Brewer, where a service honoring her life will be held 1 p.m. as the visitation concludes.

Ruth Rhoads Lepper Gardner*

Ruth Rhoads Lepper Gardner, 105, SOUTHPORT -- Renowned artist, mapmaker and local personality, Ruth Rhoads Lepper Gardner, of Southport, passed away on April 16, 2011, at Cove's Edge in Damariscotta; aged 105 years, 10 months., Born in Norwood, Mass., on June 27,1905, Ruth was the eldest daughter of George Mitchell Lepper and Louisa Rhoads Lepper. Ruth attended Norwood High School and Pembroke College of Brown University in Providence, R.I. Later, she also attended the Rhode Island School of Design and the Museum School at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston., Her father, George Lepper, made his living as an inventor, entrepreneur machinist and as one of the earliest Ford dealers in Massachusetts. George and Louisa Lepper were also business partners, and co-operated a bicycle shop in Norwood., As a young protege for an artistic aunt, Annie L. Cox, Ruth had the opportunity to travel the world. She sailed on some of the most famous Ocean Liners of her time. As a young woman she lived in Greenwich Village, N.Y. 'Everybody has to go down to New York for a little while,' she said., Nicknamed 'Red' for her red hair and fiery personality, Ruth sometimes posed as a live model for artists while she enjoyed the excitement of the New York bohemian lifestyle. She also worked at Macy's and remembers Wall Street financiers leaping to their deaths from buildings during the first Depression., As an early summer person, Ruth nurtured a lifelong devotion to Maine. Ruth's grandparents lived on Southport Island and Ruth enjoyed Island life long before bridges were built, when all roads 'were nothing more than cart-paths.' As a child, Ruth would take the steamboat down east from Boston, then transfer to a local boat to get to the Island. Ruth and her husband, Cornelius Gardner, courted on Southport Island before they were married and moved to the Island permanently in 1947., Ruth and Cornelius Gardner married on July 4, 1942, at the famous Trinity Church in Newport, R.I. Cornelius Gardner, born in 1890, was a descendant of Rhode Island's founder, Roger Williams. He attended the Harvard Business School and had been a Commanding Officer for the, during WWI. When they met, Ruth held a job as a Draftsman for the U.S. Navy where she developed her love of mapmaking. Ruth was able to combine her extraordinary artistic skills with mapmaking as she designed, produced and, Ruth Rhoads Lepper Gardner, pedaled dozens of unique illustrated maps featuring the history of Maine. As part of her historical research, she served the Maine Coast Mission aboard the Sunbeam, also known as 'God's Tugboat.' During these voyages, Ruth made maps and sketches to illustrate 'Anchor to Windward,' a book about the mission. She said: 'Maps are precise, timeáconsuming projects, but if your work gives you pleasure, what the heck.', Ruth was also especially good at Pen & Ink architectural portraits, which she would do on commission as a freelance illustrator. But when it came to painting, watercolors were Ruth's medium of choice. She loved the view of the ocean from her house and painted the same scenery many times. Each unique painting depicted a different season, lighting or mood. In addition to the visual arts, Ruth was also an accomplished cellist and enjoyed playing in orchestras., On May 15, 2004, Ruth received a Distinguished Achievement Award for her life's work from the University of Southern Maine. She was especially proud of this formal recognition. However, her less formal, and most precious achievements were experienced by her family as she relished the role of a special Aunt. Ruth had no children of her own, but she was an influential elder to all her family and close friends. Known as Ruth, Ruthle or Red by most, she was lovingly referred to as 'Auntie,' or 'Auntie De-ah' by her family., Ruth was predeceased by two younger siblings, George Warren Lepper and Cynthia Lepper Reed. Ruth was also widowed when her husband, Cornelius Gardner passed away in 1973. She leaves her loving niece, Cynthia Reed-Workman of Portland, her nephew, John S. Reed and his wife Sue Welsh Reed of Cambridge, Mass.; grandnephews, Gordon N. Workman, George S. Workman and John Charles Workman, and grandnieces, Elizabeth Reed and Beatrice Reed. Ruth also leaves four great- grandnieces and four great- grandnephews., A memorial service to celebrate Ruth's life will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, April 23, 2011, at the Southport United Methodist Church, Route 27, Southport. A reception will follow the service. You are invited to share your condolences, photos and memories with the Gardner family by visiting their Book of Memories at, .
