FREEPORT – Gladys M. Davis, 93, passed away peacefully on Sept. 12, 2025, at home surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Franklin, Maine, daughter of Willis Scammon and Sylvia (Merchant) Scammon.

Gladys raised seven children and upon returning to her home in Freeport, she worked for L.L. Bean and retired after 24 years. She loved travel and adventure in any form.
