Obituary: Edith Florence Oliver - Press Herald

National Bank of Portland. On May 11, 1963, Edith married David Bichrest. Early in their marriage, they were stationed on Wood Island Lighthouse off Biddeford Pool for 30 months. After leaving the island, they moved to Cundy’s Harbor and built the home where, as she put it, “I did my best work”, raising six daughters, who were the “the loves of my life”. Edith dedicated herself to helping others and serving the Cundy’s Harbor Community. She participated on the Cundy’s Harbor Auxiliary, as a driver for the Ambulance Crew and served proudly as a volunteer during elections. Edith attended the Cundy’s Harbor Community Church and found great peace in knitting prayer shawls for those in need. For many years she participated in the annual community craft fair and spending the day with family and friends. The community will miss her smile and wave as they pass by Holbrook Street. For 31 years, Edith worked as a manager at Eldridge General Store. After her retirement she missed her time spent with the regulars and her ‘coffee crew’ who came in every day. Those years were incredibly important to her and her friends forever held a special place in her heart. Edith was predeceased by her mother, father; sister, Margaret Eleanor Oliver Ladue; and grandson, EN2 Austin Thomas Williams, United States Navy. She is survived by her six daughters, Cynthia Moody of Cundy’s Harbor, Vida Leeman and her husband Jerry of Cundy’s Harbor, Teresa Mann and her husband Joseph of Brunswick, Meredith Williams and her husband Andrew of Freeport, Michelle Shipley and her husband Aaron of Lewis Center, Ohio, and Edith Cram and her husband Matthew of West Bath. Edith was blessed with 17 beautiful grandchildren and six amazing great-grandchildren. Burial will be at Oak Grove Cemetery in Bath. Arrangements are by Daigle Funeral Home, 819 High Street, Bath.

American-grown fashionable flowers on display: See Oregon's floral portrait - OregonLive

Seasons Market will sell $13 bouquets made with botanicals from four Oregon flower farms. [Annual Floral Dress by Rayne Grace Hoke, Flora’s Muse, Biddeford, Maine] Missy Palacol Here are the fashions created with annuals, perennials, trees, shrubs, grasses and herbs to showcase the diversity of flora rooted in American soil. WASHINGTON “I’ve always been inspired by the American West,” explains floral designer Tammy Myers of First and Bloom, based in the Seattle area. “My mother is a quilter. My father loves American history. My grandfather was a descendant of the Karuk Tribe in Northern California. To me, a quilt is a beautiful symbol of true American history. Upon more research, I discovered these iconic patchwork designs actually originate from women during the Colonial period of the 1700s. Later, Native women, known for making beautiful blankets, also started using these same quilting techniques. Quilts are truly a labor of love that brings warmth and comfort to whomever they surround. I find flowers have a similar nature. They too, bring joy and comfort to whomever they are near. “Authenticity was very important to me for this project. Our model, Anne Davidson, is of Native Athabaskan descent and the area where this scene was photographed at Laughing Goat Farm in Enumclaw, Wash., is an area rich in Native American history.” div class=...
