Ann Marie Hinkley
of Old Orchard Beach, Maine
Ann Marie Hinkley, 70, of Old Orchard Beach, Maine, entered into rest on Tuesday, July 22, 2008, after a 15 year battle with Huntington's disease. Ann is now in a better place. She was an inspiration to everyone she met and will be missed by many. Ann was born in Susquehanna, Pa., and met James there. The childhood sweethearts became husband and wife and made residences in the Sidney and Unadilla, N.Y. area for most of her adult life. Upon James' retirement in the mid-1990's the Hinkleys moved to Maine to live closer to James Jr. while their winters were spent living in their RV in Florida. She enjoyed being around friends and family. Camping was her favorite pastime and traveling was a way of life for her. Ann's family wishes to offer their thanks to the many that helped care for her over the years. The staffs at Seal Rock Health care and Southern Maine Medical center are to be commended for their excellent work and extra efforts. We mourn the loss of Ann Marie Hinkley of Old Orchard Beach. She leaves behind her loving and devoted husband of 50 years, James Wheeler Hinkley; their son, James Jr., Saco; her sister, Margaret Burdick, Lanesboro, Pa.; her sister, Marilyn Wanatt, Susquehanna, Pa.; her brother, John C. Brown, also from Susquehanna; and her many nieces and nephews and their children.
Friends are invited to greet the family on Monday, July 28, 2008, from 4 - 7 p.m. at Cathedral Pines Funeral Home, 156 Saco Ave., Old Orchard Beach, Maine.
