SANGERVILLE, MAINE

— Jacqueline Marie Kimball, 91, formerly of Sangerville and Dover-Foxcroft, died on April 19, 2016 at Hawthorne House, Freeport, ME. Jackie was born in Dover-Foxcroft on January 16, 1925 to Robert H. Jones and Mona J. Gould. She attended schools in Dover where she performed in many musical events including soloist for her eighth grade cantata “Evangeline” where she sang the role of Evangeline. She was a member of the Academy Glee Club while attending Foxcroft Academy and was the soprano soloist in the Glee Club’s presentation of Handel’s “Messiah”.

Career

Jackie spent her career working in the health care field as a CNA at Mayo Regional Hospital and Bishop’s Boarding Home, ending her career as an activities director at Bishop’s and Oakes Manor in Sangerville. She loved working with the elderly, and it was not unusual for her to finish her shift, clock out, and then go back to give special attention to her patients whom she felt needed extra care. In addition to loving her work with the elderly, Jackie was a champion for animals and wild life through her financial support of various programs. Those included Save the Wolves, Save the Whales, and the Bangor Humane Society.

Jacqueline Marie Kimball enjoyed the outdoors, especially camping and fly fishing with her husband, but she especially loved playing with her grandchildren. It was not unusual for Jackie to take her grandchildren on walks in the woods, taking them down to the pond to meet “Charlie” the bull frog, and to end the day making mud pies with them.
