Obituary

CAMBRIDGE- Orie F. White, 93, died March 6, 2014, at his home in Cambridge. He was born June 11, 1920, in Stacyville, the son of Miles and Ida (Landers) White. He served in the US Army during WWII. Following the service he worked at Fay Scott in Dexter. He later worked for Norman Chadbourne for 18 years and then purchased the business and operated it until the time of his death. Orie enjoyed the outdoors and was a registered Maine Guide for 50 years. Over the time of his guiding he made many friends and maintained many of those friendships for all his life. He loved baseball and was very involved in re-establishing semi-pro ball in the State of Maine, and managed teams from 1967 to 1997. One of the highlights of his life was when the Red Sox won the World Series. He was predeceased by his wife of 50 years, Ruth (Page) White; 3 brothers, Laurel, Harold, and Cecil; and a sister, Dorothy. He is survived by a son, Robert White of SC; 4 daughters, Sheryl Batey of Monson, Nancy Glidden and her husband, Mike of SC, Peggy Sheehan and her husband, Jack of FL, and Bonita Martel and her husband, Donald of Cambridge; 8 grandchildren, Erika and Joshua Batey, Amie Glidden, Beckie Grant, Bryan and Corie White, Kellie and Kelsey Martel; 5 great grandchildren; nieces and nephews.
