Dorcas Bauckman Obituary
Born in Boston, Sept. 17, 1934, to the late Rodney Arris and Marion (Hebb) Arris, she moved to Bridgton, Maine, as a young girl and graduated high school there. Our Mom dedicated her life to her Lord and family and endeavored tirelessly every day to that end. The love and compassion that flowed from her touched the lives of so many. Ever present in the kitchen and gifted with the ability to somehow feed everyone, no soul ever left hungry if "Mom" knew about it. Her artwork and "one-of-a-kind" cakes, pies, and cookies were and are treasured. "Teddy Bears" were a passion and there was always room for one more in the house.
In addition to her loving husband and high school sweetheart she leaves her children, Polly Locklear and Philip S. Bauckman Jr. of Enfield; grandchildren, Matthew Bauckman, and his wife, Jolene, Nathan Locklear, Timothy Locklear, and his wife, Mimma, Sarah Jane Locklear; and great-grandchildren, Luke and Travis Bauckman, Gabriel, Sophia Jane, and Francesca Locklear, Christianna Locklear and Lucas Locklear Dos Santos.
"Where Christ leads we shall follow."
A celebration of her life and burial will be in Bridgton, Maine, at the convenience of the family.

Phil, Phil Jr. Polly and Family,
We were very sorry to learn of Janie's passing. We want you all to know that even though we don't see you much you are in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. Phil, you were so good to Dad when he was so ill. It meant a lot to him that you drove up here from Connecticut to see him. That will never be forgotten. Love you all.
Diane and Ed Jones
