PRESQUE ISLE – Virginia Ruth (Walker) Dyer, age 83, passed away to be with her LORD on March 29, 2013. She was born August 24, 1929, in Allagash, the daughter of Richard and Leoman Walker.
She served as a faithful member of God’s church for 40+ years, serving as a Sunday school teacher, the Bus ministry, Social Committee worker, prayer warrior, Bible studies, cleaning and many other ways she could serve. One of her greatest joys was to go to church and Bible study.
Her greatest joy, though, was her family. She was a homemaker and loved being home to care for her children and her husband. She worked hard cooking, cleaning and doing all the necessary things for the comfort and well-being of her family. Spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren was what she looked forward to with every possible occasion to do so.
She will be greatly missed by her family and friends who knew that her relationship with you was a top priority to her.
She is survived by her children, Janice Lamb and her husband, Granvill Jr. of Presque Isle, Bernard Dyer and his wife, Sandra of Caribou, Daniel Dyer and his wife, Joan of Chapman, Rick Dyer and his wife, Brenda of Easton; eight grandchildren, Kenneth Lamb, Julie-Ane Brown, Sheri Blackstone, Stacy Thibodeau, Brent Dyer, Andrea Kilcollins, Ashley Dyer, Derek Mendoza; ten great-grandchildren, Harvey Brown V, Hunter Brown, Sheridan Blackstone, Brendan Blackstone, Elizabeth Dyer, Amelia Dyer, Kyler Caron, Garrett Caron, Walker and Parker Kilcollins; all of which were her delight and the joy of her life. She is also survived by one sister, Lula Hughes of Topsham, ME. She also had a very dear God-given care giver and friend, Terry Palmer and a very special God-given friend, Marla Kovach.
In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by the love of her life, her husband, Bernard Dyer, Sr. in l996; sisters, Annie Jackson, Violet Adams, Ada Novella Doody, Albertine Thibodeau and Mae Strickland; and brothers, Conrad Walker, William Walker and Joseph Arnold Walker.
