WINTHROP- Arline M. DeBlois, 86, passed away on November 17, 2022, at Maine General Medical Center, in Augusta, Maine. She was supported to the end by her loving family, and comforted by her strong religious beliefs. Arline was born on July 17, 1936 on Oxford Street in Augusta, Maine, to George and Blanche Martin. She graduated from St. Augustine Parochial school in 1951 followed by her graduation from Cony High School in 1955.

Arline and her family were avid campers, who spent many weekends and vacations at Cathedral Pines or Acadia National Park, here in Maine. On many summer weekend days, when not camping, she could be found at the beach on the coast of Maine. Family holidays were always spent at Grammi's house, with Arline preparing the food. She enjoyed these moments very much. Maynard and Arline loved to travel and spent many winter days in Myrtle Beach, SC later in life. Some of the places they traveled to earlier in life, both internationally as well as stateside included Bermuda, many locations in the Caribbean Islands, Mexico, the Spanish Canary Islands, multiple trips to Hawaii, as well as a long river cruise in France on the Rhone river. Arline was a very loving mother and grandmother to her family, and could always be counted on to have a big smile when surrounded by her family. She also kept in contact through the years with her loved "Cony Girls of 55", including lunches at the Senator Inn in Augusta, as well as her multiple acquaintances from work. She was a member of the Ladies of Saint Anne, a one-time president, and cherished her friends from the Red Hat Club. In addition to her loving husband Maynard, Arline is survived by her son Dale, his wife Trudy, daughter Pam and her fiancée Stephen, four grandchildren and three greatgrandchildren.
