HOULTON -- Mary Louise (Higgins) Bodine, 82, died Tuesday, Nov. 23, 2004, at Mount Saint Joseph's Continuing Care Facility in Waterville after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born June 15, 1922, in Houlton, the daughter of Stanley and Sylvia (Bates) Higgins. Mary Louise was a lifelong resident of Houlton and was a graduate of Houlton High School, class of 1940. She loved the outdoors and hunting. She was a member of the Maine Big Buck Club, was proud to be a resident of Aroostook County and loved its beauty and its people. She was a lifelong Republican and a die-hard Yankee fan (we won't hold that against her). Mary Louise was a caregiver first and foremost to her family and friends. She is survived and deeply missed by her two children, her daughter, Rebecca and her husband, Carl Young, of Mount Airy, Md., and one son, Matthew Bodine and his wife, Nancy, of South China; one beloved foster brother, Russell Rodgerson and his wife, Brenda, of Island Falls; a special niece, Salli (Higgins) Graham of Houlton; two granddaughters, Alison (Young) Stone of Union Bridge, Md., and Audrey Young of Potomac Falls, Va.; one grandson, Madison Bodine of South China; one great-grandson, Jeremy Stone of Union Bridge, Md.; one nephew, Micah Rodgerson of Bangor; grandnieces and many cousins; a lifelong friend, Arlene (Ramsey) Coyle of Windsor, Conn.; and a sister-in-law, Donna Tracy. She was predeceased by her husband, Ernest "Moose" Bodine ; a sister, Elizabeth "Betty" Higgins; and one brother, Robert Higgins.
