HAMPDEN & TROY - Grace (Lenentine) Bagley, 96, died on January 14, 2017, of complications from pneumonia. All of her immediate family was present for her passage.

Grace was born on May 12, 1920 in Monticello, to Marguerite (Danforth) Lenentine and Guy Lester Lenentine. She attended Ricker Classical Institute in Houlton and went on to Husson Business School in Bangor, after which she worked in New Jersey and later in Maine. In 1942, she married Frederick J.

During that time Grace was a member of many civic organizations including Seven Star Grange of Troy, the Order of the Eastern Star, the auxiliary of the Troy Fire Dept., Troy Extension Homemakers Group and Troy Union Church.

For 25 years during retirement Grace and Fred spent winters in St. Petersburg, FL., where Grace did volunteer hospital work and enjoyed the warm weather. Grace and Fred moved to Avalon village in Hampden in 2002 after which Grace attended Brewer United Methodist Church. Fred died in 2006 after 64 years of marriage.
