"The Ellsworth American [Ellsworth, Maine], 2 March 2015":
South Gouldsboro - OBIT - VasseyElinor Clarke Blance Vassey, 92, died Feb. 24, 2015, at her home after a short period of declining health. She was born Feb. 4, 1923, to George Clarke and Beulah H. (Bunker) Blance in Bangor, the eldest of three children. She was predeceased by her husband of nearly 59 years, Emuel Edward 'Ed' Vassey Jr.
Elinor grew up in Winter Harbor, and attended Winter Harbor Grammar School, and graduated valedictorian from Winter Harbor High School in 1939. During high school, she worked part time at the J.M. Gerrish Drug Store, the Grindstone Neck swimming pool, and the Grindstone Inn. She attended Bates College for a year and a half, then moved back home to be bookkeeper for her father, who was superintendent of the Grindstone Neck summer colony. In 1942, she was an honor graduate from Beal Business College, in Bangor, completing her studies in less than one year. The owners of the college were so impressed with her academics and motivation to learn that they asked her to teach at Fort Myers Secretarial School (with no degree required), another one of their schools located in Fort Myers, Fla., when she was only 19 years old. She was the only teacher at the school and taught all of the subjects the school offered. On her own and away from home for the first time, she taught day school and night school, acted as janitor, kept the books, did some accounting on the side and loved it all. It was there she met her future husband, who was in the Army at the time. In 1943, she returned to Maine and worked at the State Hospital in Bangor, while waiting for Ed to return from his assignment to Europe during World War II. Upon Eds return, he and Elinor were married in Winter Harbor in September 1944. After moving a few times with Eds military assignments, Elinor stayed home to take care of their children.
Two boys and two girls later, Elinor finally earned her Bachelor of Science in Business Education at the University of Arizona, in Tucson, Ariz., graduating summa cum laude; third in her class of 1,208. Her education continued while rearing her children during numerous, and often long, absences of Ed, while he continued to serve his country. She attended the University of Maine at Orono from 1959 to 1960. She was regent of the Alpha Theta Chi Sorority at Beal; and a member of the National League of American Women, Washington, D.C.; and Pi Omega Pi and Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi at the University of Arizona.
Elinor accompanied Ed as he served nearly 30 years in the Air Force. The family lived in Mississippi, Texas, Washington, Arizona, Maine, Japan, California, North Carolina, Illinois and South Carolina. She said once that 'moving at the whim of the Air Force was not conducive to my job security, but it lent variety to my experience and kept me from getting stale.' While living in Japan, Elinor taught the familys endeared housekeeper to speak English and type, enabling her to obtain a job as a secretary on the Air Force base. Elinor found great joy in learning new things. She was always interested in what made things work or grow. She completed classes in typewriter repair, furniture upholstering, Japanese writing and conversational Japanese, pattern design and making, stenograph tape program for instructors, and various computer classes. She enjoyed spending time with her children and grandchildren, and turned each visit into a learning experience. She was a member of various parent-teacher associations and a Cub Scout den mother. She was a participating parent in all of her childrens education and extracurricular activities, volunteering in any capacity needed. She was a consummate caregiver, first while rearing her children, then for her parents and parents-in-law, then for Ed in his later years as his health declined. And more recently, she had been a great friend and comfort to her sister.
Throughout her life, Elinor taught seventh grade through business college level. She taught high school at the Department of Defense Schools at Johnson Air Base, Japan; as well as Victor Valley Junior High School in Victorville, Calif.; and Rice Business College in Charleston, S.C. She was certified to teach in five states. She was always eager to stay late at school or take the time to help anyone who was having trouble understanding the days lessons. Her only reasons for leaving any of her jobs were for school, marriage, children, or husbands transfer. She set the ultimate example to her children for school and job attendance.
Some of Elinors other accomplishments included president of Tri-State Goodwill Industries of Charleston, S.C.; member of South Carolina Federation on Aging; president of Small Woodland Owners Association of Maine (SWOAM); member of both the South Gouldsboro and Winter Harbor historical societies, and was often the go-to person for filling in the blanks on some historical events or family names or origins, where information was missing. She was invited by Governor Brennan of Maine to serve as the primary representative on the Agricultural Advisory Council to advise him on the wide variety of agricultural matters of Maine. Elinor graciously accepted and became part of the council to establish public policy and generate appropriate responses to major farm issues in the state.
In addition to her husband, Elinor is predeceased by her parents and sister, Charlene Ray. She leaves behind son, Bradford, and his wife, Rose (Edwards), of South Gouldsboro; son, Emuel III (Bud), and his wife, Ann (Merchant), of Winslow; daughter, Mary Frances, and her husband, William Willis, of Satellite Beach, Fla.; and daughter, Katherine Brown of Wilmington, N.C.; and brother, George C. Blance Jr., of Lowell, Mass. She also leaves behind 13 grandchildren, some of whom (up to five at a time) spent summers with her in their childhood; 25 great-grandchildren; and three great-great grandchildren, all of whom adored her and knew her as the smartest, most compassionate and loving person in their lives. Other survivors are sisters-in-law Carol (Carter) Vassey and Nancy (Thorkelson) Vassey of Raleigh, N.C., and numerous nephews and nieces. Elinor deeply enriched the lives of all of those who knew her, and she will be dearly missed.

In 2019 https://blog.mainevets.org/ruth-wardell-mvh-bangor-veteran-stories-usn-1 offers: 'Ruth Colby Wardwell was born in March 1925, on her family's farm in Bucksport, Maine. After graduating from Bucksport High School she attended Bryant & Stratton College, graduating in 1944. After college, Ruth went to work at Emery and Conant Wool Company in Boston. As World War II raged in Europe and the Pacific, Ruth did her part by giving blood and buying war bonds. Soon that wasnt enough for Ruth - she wanted to serve, and she decided to become a Navy WAVE. Following training at Hunter College in New York, she was sent off for four months to Great Lake Illinois. Then came an assignment to Chelsea Naval Hospital in Massachusetts. At the naval hospital, Ruth helped with recuperating sailors and Marines. "I was proud to be able to contribute," she remembers. "It was a very rewarding experience for me." While she was at Chelsea she received word that her boyfriend, William Wardwell, who was serving in the Army, was ill and hospitalized at nearby Fort Devens. It was feared that he might never walk again. As soon as she could arrange it, Ruth went to visit Bill - their first time together in three years. She found him weak, but thankfully, beginning to walk again. As the war neared its end, Bill was sent to recover at his family home in Castine, Maine. A long-distance romance ensued until Bill proposed and Ruth returned to Maine to be married. Together they raised six children. As their children grew older Ruth became a very active 4-H leader and Sunday School teacher. In 1984, she returned to school to become a Certified Nursing Assistant and later worked at the Ellsworth Convalescent Center. Ruth also applied her healing skills in her own family, serving as a dedicated caregiver to her father and husband when they became seriously ill. "The strength in me was God given," Ruth says. "It was gathered from the courage these men showed me when in great pain." Ruth is greatly admired by those who know her for raising a wonderful family and spending so much of her life helping others.'
"The Ellsworth American, 7 June 2021": "Ruth Irene (Colby) Wardwell, 96, passed away on Saturday, June 5, 2021. She was born on March 10, 1925, in Bucksport, the daughter of Byron E. and Rachel (Potter) Colby. She served in the United States Navy WAVES in 1945 and 1946 and worked as a secretary and CNA. She was a member of the East Bucksport United Methodist Church, the Duck Cove Extension, the Duck Cove Community Club and the Orland Chapter of Eastern Star. Ruth is survived by her children, Dana Wardwell and wife, Paulette, of Bucksport, Frank Wardwell and partner Elaine White of Bangor and daughter-in-law Patti Rump of Bucksport; grandchildren, Kristen Stevens of New Brunswick, Canada, Jason Andrews of Ontario, Canada, Susan Satterfield of Eddington, Mark Wardwell of Bucksport, Paul Wardwell of North Carolina, Gregory Wardwell of Germany, Nicholas Wardwell of North Carolina, Kelsey Wardwell of Bucksport, Keagan Wardwell of Lamoine, Coty Wardwell of Washington, D.C., Casey Wardwell of Holden along with 17 great-grandchildren and one sister, Elsie Mann of Dexter. Ruth was predeceased by her husband, William 'Bill' Wardwell; two daughters, Joyce Andrews and Ellen McElvain, and two sons, James Wardwell and Timothy Wardwell."
