Judy was born in Sanford on April 11, 1945, and resided in Springvale. She was a kindhearted person who would give her last dollar to anyone in need and was a nurturer of humans and plants alike. Her garden was a source of food and joy and was also her fountain of youth.
Judy will be deeply missed by her three children, Dan and his wife Deb of Acton, Richard and his dogs William and Charlotte of Springvale, Susan and her husband Steven of Shapleigh, daughter-in-law Sherry of Waterboro, and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
A graveside service will be held on Wednesday, May 20, at 2 pm at Southern Maine Veterans Memorial Cemetery, 83 Stanley Road, Springvale.
Linda R. Baker, a daughter, loving mother, grandmother, and sister, passed away peacefully on February 10, 2026, at the age of 77, following her battle with a long-term illness. She was a resident of Sanford nearly her whole life. Born in Lawrence, MA on June 12, 1948, Linda was raised in Sanford and educated at St. Ignatius parish schools.
Her innate desire to nurture and care for others defined her professional life. She dedicated herself to caring for the elderly and children, offering comfort and compassion to those most in need, and they called her “Mem,” a name that captured her warm giving spirit. In a profound display of devotion, Linda dedicated several years of her life to providing full-time care for her parents until their passing in 2007. As the eldest of eleven children, this role of caregiver was a natural extension of her nurturing character.
Linda possessed a deep passion for gardening. She was known for her green thumb, cultivating beautiful flowers and diligently canning the bounty of vegetables from her garden. This industrious spirit was complemented by her skill as an excellent cook who loved to share.
Linda is survived by her husband, Gary Baker, children Christopher (Patti) Main, Patrick Main, Ryan Baker, Brian Main, Nicole Main, Michael Baker, Sara (Zach) Baker-Garvy, siblings Denise (Roger) Deering, Sandra (Michael) Payeur, Mark Legere, James (Janet) Legere, Laura (Rob) Mayo, Sister-in-law, Rein.
Linda was preceded in death by her loving parents, Gerard and Gabrielle Legere; her brothers, Richard, Donald, and Roger Legere; and her sisters, Elaine Schultz and Renee Roy.

Anne-Marie Sanger, 82, of Alfred, passed away peacefully on Saturday, February 21, 2026, at the Gosnell Memorial Hospice House in Scarborough, surrounded by the love and prayers of her family.
She was born in Sanford on August 8, 1943, the beloved daughter of Emmitt and Jeanne D’Arc (Perron) Pouliot. Anne-Marie grew up in Sanford and attended the local Catholic schools, graduating in 1961.

Anne-Marie met the love of her life, James “Jim” Sanger in 1962, and they married in 1964. They shared 61 years building a life rooted in faith, love, and family while raising three cherished children. Together, they created a warm and welcoming home filled with laughter, devotion, and unwavering support.
Anne-Marie was a deeply devout Catholic and a faithful communicant of St. Thérèse of Lisieux Parish. Her life revolved around her church and her family, and she truly lived a life of service to others. Kind and loving, with a warm and welcoming personality, Anne-Marie was deeply religious and always ready to help someone in need. She was a loving and devoted wife, mother, and grandmother who will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
She was predeceased by her parents and by her sister, Kathleen Beaudoin. Anne-Marie is survived by her devoted husband, James “Jim” Sanger of Alfred; her three children, Cynthia (Peter) Donatelli, Jeff (Karen) Sanger, Matthew (Cheri) Sanger, her five beloved grandchildren, and her brother, Michael (Solveig) Pouliot.
