Hilma Idella Stevens

Wells – Hilma Idella Stevens, 88, was born August 10, 1935 and passed away peacefully on September 29, 2023 at Kennebunk Center for Health & Rehabilitation, briefly after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. 

Hilma was a life long resident of Wells.  She attended school in the one room school house which still stands today, close to the house she was brought up in.  The second youngest of eleven siblings, she was predeceased by her parents (John and Evelyn) and siblings (Homer, Marjorie, Lois, Hazel, Wallace, Harold, Stuart, Nettie, and Alden).  Survived by her brother Richard E. Stevens and wife Jean.  Hilma was adored by her many nieces and nephews. 

Hilma worked at Marshall Cabins on Moody Beach for her good friend Shirley.  She loved watching the ocean waves crashing on the beach shore.  You often would see Hilma walking along the road strong and determined.  We can not even imagine how many miles those feet traveled.  Hilma adored her cats, found great companionship with them and much joy.  Debbie Stilphen would pick up Hilma every Sunday for Service.  The Church was an important part of her life, she loved to attend Service and other community activities they provided.  In lieu of lowers we suggest a donation to Hilma’s beloved church:  South Berwick and Wells Christian Church, 612 Emerys Bridge Road, South Berwick, Maine 03908.

Hilma touched so many lives in her life time, with friendly conversations, and her kind heart in her own special way.  She will be greatly missed by all her family and friends.  We love you, Hilma.

Graveside services to be announced for burial in Steven’s Family Cemetery, Tatnic Road, Wells.
