Delma Watt

Perry – Delma Elaine Watt, 95, died Thursday, April 13, 2006 at a Calais nursing home. Delma was born in Lubec, July 10, 1910, daughter of the late Angus and Blanche (Lord) Burgess. She was a member of the Second Baptist Church in Calais, and in later years played organ for Blakey United Methodist Church in Eastport. Delma was also a member of the Perry and Robbinston Granges, and the Pocahontas, where she became a Great Keeper of Wampum, and loved to travel to Bangor and shop. After the death of her husband, Alton Murray Watt, she continued to teach school in Robbinston and Calais for many years. Delma had the good fortune to purchase her last home near John Knowton and Terri Taylor. Terri has been her care giver for many years and a good friend. Many will remember her as an English teacher, her organ music, and her toe-tapping piano music at dances. She lived a long life which is a fulfillment of God’s for those who honor their parents and she did honor and love her mother for 86 years. Besides her husband, she was predeceased by a great-granddaughter, Anna Smith, and a grandson-in-law, Clifford Doolan. Delma leaves behind a son, Gerald Watt and wife Loretta, her grandchildren, Daniel Watt, Nanette Smith and husband Stephen and their children Kathryn and John; Michelle Doolan and her children Clayton and Samuel; and a nephew, Eugene Watt. Also she leaves behind Jim Alley and wife Kathy, and their two daughters, Caroline and husband Robert and their two children Alley and Daniel, and Kim; and many dear friends. A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday, April 18, at the Second Baptist Church in Calais with Pastors Chris Stevens and Bob Hinton officiating. Burial will be held at 2 p.m. in Corey Cemetery in Lubec.
