Obituary for Douglas A. Freeman
Douglas A. Freeman, 82, of Mt. Desert, died October 1, 2012 in Southwest Harbor. He was born March 12, 1930, the son of Merrill L. and Georgie Belle (Freeman) Seavey Sr. He was raised by his maternal grandparents, George and Mildred (Butler) Freeman in Seal Cove Center.
Douglas married Sylvia Jean Murphy of Bass Harbor, in July of 1951. He raised his family in Seal Cove where he also raised vegetable gardens, especially potatoes. In later years, after the move to Somesville, he had containers planted with tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, and other vegetables which he shared with friends and family. He worked as a trained diesel mechanic, part-time lobster fisherman, shipping room foreman at Stinson Canning Company in Southwest Harbor and as a carpenter. It was as a carpenter that he occupied his “retirement” years helping friends and family with various building projects, large and small.
He is survived by his wife of 61 years, Jeannie; his son, Bill Freeman and wife Stephanie of Trenton; his daughter, Terry Dow and husband Gilbert of Bass Harbor; grandchildren, Danny Schlaefer and wife, Sarah Whitten of Old Town, Amy Schlaefer and fiancé Sandy Rich of Bass Harbor; great granddaughter, Caitlin Ward; brothers, Merrill Seavey Jr. and wife Elaine and George Seavey and wife Margaret; special friends, John Goodwin Jr., Alan Gordius and Chad Lee. Douglas was predeceased by his parents; younger brother, Roger Seavey and wife, Patricia.
Interment will be at Pretty Marsh Cemetery, October 20, 2012. No flowers, please. A get-to-gather for family and friends will be at Terry and Gibby Dow’s from 1-4 pm.
Donations to the Pretty Marsh Cemetery Association may be sent to Tom MacRae, 778 Indian Point Rd., Mt. Desert, ME 04660.
Arrangements by Jordan-Fernald, 1139 Main St., Mt. Desert.
