Marge was born April 16th, 1935 in Dexter, ME, daughter of Alton "Pat" Gould and Gertrude (Downing) Gould. She attended Ripley schools thru 8th grade and graduated from Dexter High School in 1953. She married Donald Deering on October 31st, 1953. Marge worked for Tempesta Motors, Dexter Canning Factory, Snowflake Canning, sold Avon and Dexter Shoe for 34 years. Raised a farm girl she loved the outdoors. Haying, gardening, snowmobiling, dancing and reading were a few of her favorite things. But the most cherished of all were her grandchildren. Each one was special. She loved attending their school and sporting events. Open to ALL, her kitchen was never closed. Wednesday night was family night supper for 40 years. She loved to laugh and had two mottos... "If you want something done, do it yourself" and "My plans are always subject to change". Marge is survived by son Bruce Deering and wife Genie of Ripley, daughters Kim Conway and husband Andy of Greenville and Tammy Sherburne and husband Rick of Ripley. Grandchildren Barry Deering (Mandee), Sasha Claverie, Liza McTighe, Whitney Huntt, Adam Conway (Jenny), Jordan Conway, Jake Sherburne, Bernie Huntt (Lynn) and Joel Huntt (Heather). Several greatgrandchildren, nieces and nephews; a sister-in-law Emily Gould and Special Connecticut family, daughters Nancy Germain (Bob) and family, and Marcia Gade (Dave) and family. She was predeceased by her husband, Donald, brothers, Robert and Blaine Gould, and sister, Anita Jewett, and loving companion Louis Bosco.
