Jennie Adeline “Jane” Hutchins, 85, died at Safe Havens in Boothbay Harbor on Oct. 26, 2014.

She was born on Nov. 15, 1928 in Portland, the daughter of the late Clarence and Lola (Reed) Morrison.

Jane attended Boothbay Harbor High School. After graduating, she met and married Duane I. Hutchins. Jane was a mainstay at Porter’s Drugstore, which later was known as Downeast Pharmacy. She worked there for 50 years.

Jane loved walking, working in her yard, singing and playing the guitar. Jane loved to yodel and was quite good at, being featured on Ken MacKenzie Show.

Jane had a heart of gold and loved nothing more than spending time with animals and young children, especially Tyler Campbell.

Jane enjoyed her 3 o’clock “Heave a Head” and daily crossword with her best friend, Cissy. Jane loved going to the “Carousel” movie set in Boothbay Harbor in the late 1950s where she would meet all kinds of celebrities, making sure to get all of their autographs.

She was included in the article “Faces of Boothbay Harbor” published in the March 1993 issue of Down East Magazine.

Family and friends, she may have forgotten your faces and names, but she carried you in her heart. Rejoice in knowing “She’s finest kind and A-1.”

The family would like to thank the staff at both the wound care center and at Safe Haven for all of the care they provided to Jane. A special note of gratitude to “Dr. Alimony” for all of the care and compassion he showed her through the years.

Jane was predeceased by her husband, Duane I. Hutchins.

She is survived by her nieces, Kareen Nelson of Boothbay, Dell Michael of Biddeford, Zandy Long of Boothbay, and Tracy Grover of Boothbay; and her good friends, Oscar and Elizabeth Frost of Jupiter, Florida.

A service will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2014 at 10 a.m. at Maine Veterans Cemetery Civic Center Drive.
