Resided in:
Sanford, Maine
Martha E. Dube, 85, of Springvale, went home to be with the Lord on Tuesday, April 9, 2024, at Southern Maine Health Care in Biddeford.
Born on January 24, 1939, in Norway, Maine, Martha was the daughter of Ralph and Clara (Roy) Chasse, Sr. She moved to Sanford at the age of 10, where she attended local schools and later graduated from Sanford High School.
Throughout her career, Martha dedicated herself to caring for others as a med tech and CNA at Goodall Hospital and Greenwood Center until her retirement in 1995. She was a dedicated member of Curtis Lake Christian Church when she was younger, where her passion for music shined through her participation in the choir for over a decade.
Martha found joy in the simple pleasures of life, often taking daily walks along Main Street and indulging in her hobbies of completing jigsaw puzzles and baking. Renowned for her delicious whoopie pies and intricate cake decorating skills, Martha's culinary creations brought smiles to many faces.
In her later years, Martha found companionship and community at the Lodges in Springvale, where she embraced the vibrant social life and activities with gusto. She cherished the time spent with her friends and will be fondly remembered for her warmth and kindness.
Martha was preceded in death by her daughter, Denise Neal, and two sisters, Geraldine Bouchard and Dorothy Couture.
Her legacy of love and devotion extends to her family, where she leaves behind a lasting impact. She is survived by her five children: Rita (Jeanne) Sevigny and husband Edgar of Sanford, Roger Dube and wife Eileen of Concord, North Carolina, Darin Dube of Wells, Brian Dube and wife Sheila of Sanford, and Dennis Dube and wife Darcy of Wells. Martha is also remembered by her 17 grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, and her siblings: Ralph Chasse, Jr., Donald Chasse, Carl Chasse, Verna Vezina, and Lorina Dryden, along with numerous nieces and nephews.
Visitation will be held on Monday, April 15th, from 12:00 to 3:00 PM at the Carll-Heald & Black Funeral Home, located at 580 Main Street in Springvale. Interment will take place at a later date at Oakdale Cemetery in Sanford.

My deepest condolences to your whole family. I went to school with Darin and worked with Martha off and on for many years. She was a funny, loving and special lady. She made my life better in so many ways by just being a friend.
She will be dearly missed.

Lisa and I want to express our sincere thoughts and prayers to the whole family.
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. She was definitely a wonderful lady.
To Ms. Martha’s Family, my deepest sympathy and Condolences, Ms. Martha was an incredible Lady whom would leave an indelible impression you would not forget. She was one of the few Ladies I truly enjoyed, I just loved her ❤ My gift was to say I knew Ms. Martha, I was gifted that opportunity, and many laughs we shared. Many say “I’m blessed” but that’s not something to say so freely, I can say this with immense gratitude and honor that knowing Ms. Martha was truly a blessing, God brought us together, as a Staff at the Residence where Ms. Martha resided, she was one of the most impressionable Ladies there, she was epic!
To the Family of Ms. Martha ( Ms. Rita ) my best to you all at this time,
