Mary T. Abbott, 78, a longtime resident of Linden Apartments in Sanford, died at Goodall Hospital.
Mary was born in Burlington, Vermont one of six children born to Raymond and Kathryn (Foley) Benoit.
Following high school, Mary met and married Harrison Abbott, and together they raised six children, and made their home in Hartford, Connecticut, but lived in Waterboro, Maine for a brief period, and she often shared her story of the Friday night ritual of going to the Laundromat, and eating out at Jerry's Diner in Sanford.
Mary possessed a fun, and loving spirit; she enjoyed going to Old Orchard Beach, listening, and singing, country music and was an avid reader.
