Obituary for Gloria Caroline Peters (Rollins)

Gloria C. Peters, 91, died peacefully Thursday afternoon, August 21, 2014, at Winship Green in Bath. She was born in Damariscotta on January 19, 1923, to Glen and Caroline Ferris Rollins.

Gloria was a graduate of the Lincoln Academy, Newcastle, Maine. After school she went to work for Alewives Stream in Damariscotta, and Medomak Canning factories for several years, while raising two young sons. After the boys had grown, Gloria returned to work in her thirties at GTE Sylvania in Waldoboro, retiring after 33 years of service.

Gloria loved her flower garden and the satisfaction it brought her. She was always puttering and working on many projects at the same time. She enjoyed chopping her own firewood for the winter, and stacking it precisely. In the winter she had her sewing projects to keep her busy. No matter what, she looked forward to her daily 2 mile walk with her son David.

Gloria was known for her heart of gold. She was willing to do anything for anybody and never expected anything in return. Her pride and joy was her 1993 Ford Ranger, which she kept spotless. She drove it proudly wherever she went. She will be sadly missed by many, especially her family.

She is survived by her sons, Richard Chapman and his wife, Debbie of Bristol, ME; David Chapman, of Boothbay, ME. Granddaughters, Karen Dalton of Wiscasset and Lisa Orne of Boothbay. Half-brother, George Ferris, Nobleboro, ME.
She also leaves many additional grandchildren, step-grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great stepchildren. Gloria also had several nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her husband, Joseph Peters; brother, Richard Rollins; daughter-in-law, Ozelie Chapman.

A service of Remembrance will be held at her final resting place in Evergreen Cemetery, Boothbay, on Thursday, August 28th, at 10 o’clock in the morning, with Al Roberts officiating.

Donations can be made in Gloria’s name, to The Alzheimer’s Association of Maine, 383 US Route 1, Suite 2C, Scarborough, ME 04074.

Services were entrusted to Hall’s of Boothbay, 975 Wiscasset Road, Boothbay, ME 04537.
