Caribou Lodge Grieves with our Bretheren
Phyllis Robena Haines | Visit Guest Book
CARIBOU - Phyllis Robena Haines, 81, beloved wife of Mack D. Haines, died Feb. 2, 2011, at a Caribou health care facility. Phyllis was born May 22, 1929, in Caribou, the only child of the late Stillman and Mildred (Wright) Watson. She grew up on Madawaska Road and attended Wright Country School on Madawaska Road, and graduated from Caribou High School in 1947. Phyllis married Mack D. Haines Nov. 20, 1947, and was a loving wife, devoted mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, who took great pride in raising her children. She was a wonderful role model to her family and will be sadly missed. Phyllis was a great teacher of skills such as cooking, cake decorating, sewing, knitting, crocheting, embroidery, cross-stitching and gardening. She will always be remembered for her homemade potato doughnuts and "fried rarities." Phyllis derived great pleasure from camping in her recreational vehicle in Maine and New Brunswick. After her children were raised, she worked part time for the local television cable companies. Surviving, in addition to her husband of more than 63 years, Mack of Caribou, are her daughter, Peggy Belanger and her husband, Daniel, of Kenduskeag; her sons and their wives, Steven and Helen Haines, Roger and Lynn Haines, Wayne and Carla Haines, and Neal and Elaine Haines, all of Caribou; nine grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, many nieces and nephews; and sisters-in-law, Norma Haines, Lulu Sharp and her husband, Dale, Gladys Pelletier and her husband, Larry, all of Caribou, Laura Moran of Minnesota, and Shirley Tarbox and husband, Winfield, of Connecticut. Friends may visit with the family 1-3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 5, at Mockler Funeral Home, 24 Reservoir St., Caribou, with a prayer service beginning 3 p.m. with the Rev. David Goupille officiating. Interment will be at Woodland Cemetery. Friends who wish to contribute in memory of Mrs. Haines may do so to Caribou Lodge No. 170 AF & AM. Envelopes are available at the funeral home. www.mocklerfuneralhome.com
