Cynthia Amelia McLain

    McLain, Cynthia A., December 16, 2010.  Arrangements by Clay Funeral Home.
    WESTON – On December 16, 2010, beloved wife for over three decades to Daniel E. McLain, devoted mother of Daniel J. McLain and Cynthia M. Fahnestock-Schafer of Baltimore, sister to Brian Vecchio and Michael Vecchio of Maryland, passed away in a Portland hospital.
    She was predeceased by her parents, Pat & Dolores Vecchio, and eldest brother, Orland Vecchio.
    Originally from Baltimore, Maryland (Overlea area), her special love for the Pine Tree state developed from her early childhood days when her father had a hunting lodge and built what is now known as Living Waters. While still a resident of Maryland, she would spend summers with the Hayman’s on East Grand Lake, only a few camps down from the land her father originally owned.  By the early 90’s, she had relocated from Maryland where she and her husband built their home in Weston, Maine. She often remarked that she saw the beauty of God in every sunrise and sunset, in every aspect of nature.
    She loved to cook, and had a special love for her job at the Residential Center in the town of Danforth.
    Pursuant to her own wishes as expressed to her family, there will be no formal memorial service. Instead she requested, “for people to have a good meal and celebrate her life and not mourn her death.” In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be sent in her name to Cancer Care of Maine, 33 Whiting Hill Road, Brewer, Maine 04412.
