Lawrence E. Littlefield

Lawrence E. Littlefield (Lonnie), 93, passed away on January 10th, 2025, at Southern Maine Medical Center as a result of complications from Covid 19.
Lonnie was born in North Berwick on April 11, 1931. He was the son of Arthur and Ruth (Dustin) Littlefield. He attended North Berwick Schools and after graduation worked for D'arcy's, a woodworking company in North Berwick which manufactured doors, windows and cabinets. In 1952, he was drafted into the Army and served as a medic in Germany during the Korean War. After returning home he went back to work for D'arcy's until they went out of business. In the mid seventies he went to work for Hussey Seating Co. and after several years he became their woodshop supervisor. In November 1987, he received the Hussey Silver Plow Award for his outstanding service to the company. He retired in 1993.

Lonnie was predeceased by his father and mother, brothers Robert and Richard, and his brother Dexter’s wife Noelle. He is survived by his brother Dexter, Dexter’s partner Joan Stanton, and seven nieces and nephews.

Lonnie had several hobbies. He self-taught himself to play the piano, accordion and harmonica. He was an avid coin collector. He loved to do oil paintings and watch Bob Ross on TV paint his happy peaceful clouds and landscapes using an ordinary paint brush. He was a great cook. He was the designated apple pie maker for the family Thanksgiving dinner. He also enjoyed making sour pickles each summer and sharing them with family and friends. He loved to sit at his kitchen table and watch all the old shows like Andy Griffith, "Leave it to Beaver" and "Gunsmoke" on his iPad.

Lonnie resided in the family home on Madison Street all his life. In the past five years his mobility declined, and he was pretty much confined to his home. With the support of the Seniors Plus program, York Hospital Home Health Care, family and friends he was able to maintain his independence and remain at home. A special thanks goes out to his home health care nurse Chris, his home health care aide Allison and his niece Jennifer Finn. The night before he died, Jen and her brother Michael spent the evening with him reminiscing about the good old days when he used to babysit them.

At his request there will be no funeral services at this time.. There will be a graveside service in the spring. Interment will be at Ocean View cemetery in Wells, Maine
