Obituary	CONSTANCE P. FORTIER DEXTER - Constance P. “Connie” Fortier, 89, passed peacefully in the presence of her family on July 4, 2010, in Dover-Foxcroft, ME. She was born November 3, 1920, in Bartlett, NH, daughter of the late Robert Bruce Morse and Myrtie Nina (Aidridge) Morse Hurd. Connie graduated from Portland High School and Northeastern Business College in Portland. In 1940, she married Robert M. Fortier and they resided in Portland and later in Dexter, Maine. They were mar- ned for sixty-two years. Connie worked in many secretarial positions, including Union Mutual, Dexter Shoe Company, and Dexter Regional High School where she retired following twenty years of service. After her retirement she volunteered in many community organizations including the Dexter Food Cupboard, Meals for Me, and the Thrift Shop. She was a member of the United Methodist Church and, in later years, the Christian Community Church, where she delighted the community with her talent for making delicious chick- en pies for church suppers. She was also an accomplished seamstress, making wedding gowns, bridesmaid gowns and flower girl dresses for her family members. She devoted many hours to helping care for her friends and family throughout the years. Connie was one of seven children and is survived by a sister, Marjorie A. Cook of South Portland, and a brother Stephen H. Morse and his wife Eileen of Bangor. She is also survived by daughters Sally P. Lawson and her husband John of Dexter and Sandra E. Padham and fiancé Philip Stevens of Dexter; five grandchildren: Stephen Lawson and wife Heidi of Dexter; Lorraine Inserra and husband Bill of Saratoga, CA; Cynthia Lawson of Bangor; Christopher Padham and his significant other Missy White of Chariton, MA; and Jamie Padham and fiancé Chip Reier of Dexter. Connie had five great-grandchildren; Wendy and Kara Lawson and Billy, Mandy and Danny Inserra. A memorial service will be held in early August. A private interment for family and friends will be held at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery in Dexter. The family requests no flowers.
