Jean Lois Grindall Davis'We are the Grindall Girls,We wear our hair in curls.We roll our dungarees Way up above our knees!' Whatever life threw at Jean, she always danced her way through it.

Jean is survived by Gail Grindall Morseburg, Martha Grindall Audet(Raymond) and Harry S Grindall (Karen). Jean is survived by her beloved husband Richard L. Davis and was the Loving Mother of their blended family.

She is also survived by her adoring grandchildren Angela, Nicholas, Avonne, Stephanie, Cory, Kaitlyn, Rachel, Samantha, Mariah, Joe, Danny and Madeleine. Jean delighted being called Mammie by her Great Grand Children Ashleigh, Aubrey, Layla, Gracie, Pixley and Analize, Sariah and Damon.Jean's adventures took her and her girls to Anchorage, Alaska in 1971, where she soon reunited with her greatest love, Richard. Life was exciting in Alaska and Jean took great happiness in her working career and caring for her family. Beautiful sewing, knitting and cross stitch filled her time when she wasn't cooking some fantastic menu for family and friends. She loved hosting and entertaining with corporate customers and clients, amazing all who graced her table. The long winters in Alaska found Jean and Richard soaking up the Hawaiian Sunshine as often as they could and they invited all their children to join them in 1985 for a month long stay in Poipu, Kauai! Jean and Richard eventually returned to their home state of Maine and settled in Sanford. A proud member of her church, Jean took great joy in sharing and helping others with her artistic skills. She delighted at her time working at the local 'Old Timers Shop' in downtown Sanford, Maine.In August of this year, Jean was pampered by her loving daughter Marjorie, who traveled from Nevada to be with her for 3 weeks. The Family wishes to thank all of those who cared for Jean during her last illness. Within hours of passing, Jean's dear sister Constance Grindall Smith also passed away and together, arm in arm, they took their final journey.
