OBITUARY:

Winterport – Hope (Clark) Higgins Adams, 96, passed away peacefully May 10, 2011 in Florida. Hope was born in Winterport February 2, 1915 to the late Morris G. and Ruth (Emerson) Clark.

Hope was a hard working woman who owned her own convenience store in Brewer, bought several pieces of land in which she sold, and worked as a care taker for many people in the Bangor area. She loved spending time at her camp on the coast, enjoying many weekends of mowing the lawn and family dinners. In her later years she enjoyed spending winters in Florida before eventually living there year round. Hope will be missed and remembered as a loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, great great grandmother, sister, and friend.

Holyoke, and three sisters, Ardele Casey, Connie El-Hajj, and Pauline Clark.
