WOOLWICH – Jean E. (King) Wells, 81, of Woolwich, Maine, died Saturday, Aug. 19, 2023, at Midcoast Hospital in Brunswick following a brief illness.

She was born in Bath, daughter of Kenneth King and Kathryn (Crocker) Ames . She was an amazing woman who lived her life taking care of others. She was a fiercely loving mother who would brag to anyone who would listen about how proud she was of her children and grandchildren.
