CUNDY’S HARBOR — Lorna Elizabeth Goodwin, 89, of Oakhurst Island Road, passed away on Saturday, Aug. 8, 2015, at Mid Coast Hospital in Brunswick following a long courageous battle with COPD. She was born on Dec. 11, 1925, in Quincy, MA, daughter of Roger T. and Elizabeth V. (Pierce) Walker.

Lorna graduated from high school in 1943 in Hidepark, MA. While volunteering her time during high school, she made bandages for the French during WWII, all while caring for her blind father and sister. She graduated in 1947 with a bachelor’s degree from Brookline School of Arts and worked as a designer at Metcalf & Eddy Inc. until 1952. She then became a designer for Factual Mutual, helping design the Prudential Building in Boston until she left in 1958.

While taking a taxidermy class, she met Charles E. Goodwin and moved to Maine, where they got married in 1959. While living in Cundy’s Harbor, they had two children and later divorced in 1976. Lorna was a stay at home mom, who painted signs and logos for several boats and worked at Melva’s Convenient store in Harpswell, as well as volunteered as a school bus helper. After her children grew up she enjoyed working at KFC, where she was able to see many old friends for whom she had not seen in some time. Lorna had a great love for animals, watching birds and ducks and cooking. She was admired for her hard work and being a single mother. She was a good advisor, friend and was always there for you.

Survivors are her son, Carl E. Goodwin of Bath and daughter, Lorraine E. Goodwin of Bowdoinham, along with two granddaughters, Heather L. Goodwin Leach and her husband Jason of Gardiner and Morgan E. Temple of Bowdoinham.

Services will be private. She will be buried at Cranberry Horn Cemetery in Cundy’s Harbor on a date to be later announced.

Arrangements are under the direction and care of Brackett Funeral Home in Brunswick. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her name to the Coastal Humane Society in Brunswick.
