JEFFERSON - Gervaise D. Baston, 86 of Jefferson, passed away peacefully on the morning of August 12, 2016 at St. Andrews Village in Boothbay Harbor, surrounded by her loved ones. Gervaise was born June 10, 1930 to Jervis and Muriel Colfer of Hallowell.
She attended Cony High School in Augusta, and worked for 37 years at Sylvania in Waldoboro.
She married the love of her life, Bernard "Hap" Baston, Sr., in January of 1948. They built their home by hand in Jefferson, where she used her carpentry skills, taught to her by her father, to do all of the woodwork.
She was married to Hap for over 50 years before he passed in April of 2000. She spent a few winters in South Carolina after losing her husband, but the one place she always wanted to be was at her home in Jefferson where she had so many memories. She loved gardening, and took great pride in her flowers and her home grown vegetables. She would spend hours in the garden pulling weeds and tending to her flowers. She enjoyed reading, making crafts, and watching the birds at her feeders.
Gervaise is survived by two sons, Bernard E. Baston, Jr., and C. Michael Baston; six grandchildren, Amanda Baston and Melissa McConkey, Heidy Repiton and Chris Repiton, Isabelle Baston-Sansonetti, and Casey Smith; a sister, Susan Zutell; and several great-grandchildren.
Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her husband Hap, and two sisters, Mary Mitchell and Beryl Berry.
A graveside service will be held at the Bristol Mills Cemetery. Arrangements are under the direction and care of the Strong-Hancock Funeral Home, 612 Main Street, Damariscotta. (Central Maine Newspapers 8/17/2016)
