OWLS HEAD — Marilyn D. Seaman, 84, died July 29, 2015, at the Sussman House in Rockport, surrounded by the love of her family.

Born in Portland on May 20, 1931, she was the daughter of Ralph F. and Meryl Thomas Dudley. Marilyn grew up in Rockland, and graduated from Rockland High School in 1949.

Following high school Marilyn worked as a clerk at the B & R Transportation Company. There she met Leslie Estabrook. They were married and raised three daughters. This marriage later ended in divorce.

In her later years, Marilyn worked for two area banks, Rockland Savings and Depositor's Trust, as a bank teller. She enjoyed her work and made many friends.

In 1976 Marilyn married Richard “Dick” Seaman. Together they lived many years in Connecticut, where Dick worked for Sikorsky Aircraft.

Grandchildren spent time in the summer with them, going to the beach and enjoying many adventures together. Marilyn loved having her grandchildren with her. She loved to have fun!

After retirement Marilyn and Dick moved back to Maine to be near family, settling in Owls Head.

Marilyn was a talented artist and craftswoman. She loved animals and nature. Most of all, Marilyn was a loving wife, devoted mother and the best grandmother a child could ever have.

Predeceased by her parents; a younger sister, Lee Dudley Wood; and a grandson, Jesse Moore; Marilyn is survived by her husband, Richard Seaman of Owls Head; her daughters, Lucinda Leonard and her husband, Rick, of Rockland, Rebecca Aceto and her husband, Tommy, of Yarmouth, and Andrea Spokas and her husband, Neil, of Ft.

Lauderdale, Fla.; her nephews, Rick and Randy Wood; and a niece, Wendy Wood.

She also leaves behind three lifelong friends, Jane Wheaton, Margaret “Boo” Fish and Dorothy “Dot” Marchant. They shared many great times, from candle pin bowling to digging for old bottles.

Marilyn left behind much love and warm memories. She will be sorely missed.

There will be no services. Interment will be at Mt. View Cemetery in Camden at a later date.
