A sweet old lady, she could tease, instigate and quip with the best of them., Norma was raised in Thomaston by her father, Stanley Warren Newbury Sr. When her father was drafted into WWII in 1942, Norma was sent to live with an aunt in Boston, taking the train to Boston by herself at the age of 12.

While a nurse at Boston City Hospital, Norma met her husband, Joseph Latouf in 1960. Norma and Joseph raised their five children in Boston., After her husband Joseph died in 1982, Norma returned to Maine and lived in Brunswick. Norma continued her nursing career as the Director of Nursing at Brunswick Convalescent Home. Norma also taught CNA classes for various nursing homes in the Brunswick- Freeport- Yarmouth area and at the former SMVTI in South Portland. With her children grown she did not suffer from empty nest syndrome, she went on adventures. If she could not corral a friend, she would take a tour by herself and make a busload of new friends., In 1992, Norma moved to California to be Nanny to her grandson Christian. She lived in Stockholm, Sweden for nearly two years with her daughter Beth and family, and Norma traveled through Europe, with her family and alone with the sense of adventure of a young person. Norma did not need company to explore. She was perfectly content to go with a tour group (of Swedish speaking persons) to see the tulips in Holland, remarking that you do not need to speak Swedish or Dutch to appreciate tulips. Norma returned to Maine in 2001 and has lived in Portland since, with the same sense of adventure and, Norma Jennie Latouf, Jones, Rich & Hutchins, Funeral Home & Cremation Service, 775-3763, curiosity that she lived the beginning of her life., Norma was predeceased by her husband, Joseph P.

NELSON, ROWENA ABBY NELSON - April 1, 2011, in Greenville. Celebration of life this summer in Greenville; date & time TBA. 


 


 

Rowena Abby Nelson*

Rowena Abby Nelson, ('Lambie'), Greenville Native Cut A Giant Swath, GREENVILLE -- Rowena Abby Nelson ('Lambie') passed away peacefully on April 1, 2011 at the Charles A. Dean Nursing Home in Greenville, Maine, just days before her 90th birthday. She was a very special person who exemplified what is right in the world, greeting all with an upbeat demeanor that reflected the good that she saw in people. As one of her nieces recently remarked, 'Lambie is the only person I have ever known without a bad bone in her body.', An outstanding professional who directed Maine Medical Center's Physical Therapy Department from 1952 until retiring many years later, Lambie was recognized by the Maine Health Care Association's 2009 'Remember Me' ceremony, held in the Hall of Flags at the Maine State House, as one 'who had spent the best years of her life supporting her family, building her community, and serving her state and country'., Although childless, she and late husband, Robert S. Nelson, were tireless caregivers and passionate fans to literally hundreds of extended family members and acquaintances spanning many generations. They selflessly served Portland, South Portland, Cape Elizabeth and Greenville communities in numerous civic organizations and charities., Born in 1921 in Greenville and, Rowena Abby, Nelson, the fourth of Bess and Harold Walden's five children, she spent her early years cheerfully proving to her brothers and sisters that she could do anything a man could do to survive and enjoy Maine's rugged north woods and waters, and she dreamed great dreams. Among her teen-age heroines were golfer Babe Diedrickson and aviator Amelia Earhart, whose pictures adorned her Walden Farm bedroom walls, high above Moosehead Lake and Wilson Pond., Few could match Lambie's skill, even as an octogenerian, as she navigated the treacherous narrows joining Lower and Upper Wilson Pond in her wooden row-boat, 'The Lambob II'. It was there, as the 80 year old head of the Wilson Pond Association, that she headed off two men, speeding on jet skis, and calmly educated them about the eagles, ospreys, loons and other fauna whose off-spring they were threatening. The two men left vowing to never operate their jet skis there again., An accounting of the life-long works accomplished by this Greenville and Boston-Bouve educated leader would require volumes. Perhaps Lambie's most enduring gift is the self-esteem and courage that she fostered in everyone she met. A celebration of Lambie's life will be held this summer in Greenville at a date and time to be announced.
