Dianne Cahill Obituary
BATH -- Dianne M. Lewis Cahill, 64, of Green Street in Bath, passed away on Saturday, April 24, 2010, at Mid coast Hospital in Brunswick after a brief illness.
Dianne was born in Bath on March 23, 1946, the daughter of Orrington and Harriett Small Lewis. She attended Bath schools and graduated from Morse High School the class of 1964.
After graduation, Dianne was married to Skip Cahill and they made their home in Bath. Dianne was a devoted mother to her two children. They meant the world to her. When she felt they were old enough she ventured into the work force and got a job working for Dr. Daniel Wood. When he joined the Mid Coast Medical Group, she moved with him and became the manager of the billing-insurance dept. and has been there for 26 years.
To Dianne, her family came first. As her family grew, she very much enjoyed being with her grandchildren, like taking many vacations to Disney World. She was known to them as 'Sez' and 'Mammie' and taking them shopping was one her favorite past-times. She also loved to take walks with her sister, go to the movies or curl up with a good book.
She was a kind and devoted mother who always cared for others. When you think of the word LOVE, 'She Was' and will be sadly missed by all those that loved her.
Dianne was predeceased by her dad, Orrington. She is survived by her mother Harriett of Bath; a son, David Cahill and his wife Jayne of Woolwich, and a daughter, Marlene Wallace and her husband James of Bath; grandchildren, Kayla Cahill, Dalton Cahill, Tyler Wallace and Elizabeth Wallace all of Bath; a brother, Donald Lewis and his wife Vivian of Litchfield, a sister Kathleen Inman and her husband Joseph of Bath; former daughter-in-law, Barbara Pittman of Bath; as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Dear Marty and David,
I was saddened to hear of your Mom's passing. I had not heard that she had been ill.
Diane was such a special, caring person. The last time I talked to her she had so much to tell of her grandchildren and both of you.
Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

David & Marlene,
You're mother was such a special woman! I have so many wonderful memories of her. Between the two of us we filled your Great Aunt Dot's babysitting schedule. Your mom always had a smile that made you feel so special. I won't be able to look at a forget-me-nots, without thinking of her! Please know I am here for you "BOTH".

I haven't seen her for days, yet I can see her lovey face. I haven't talked to her for a while, but I can hear her joyous laughter. The wisdom in the words she spoke echo's in my mind as my conscience would. Her thoughts of what is right and wrong, guide me making decisions. A fighter for others made her loved my many. Her courage in peoples faith gave them the strength ro defeat.
If everone had a touch of Dianne the world would have infinite peace.
And forever I will remember her.
She lovedd her grandchildren dearly!!

David & Marlene,
I am so sorry for your loss. Your mother meant the world to me. She was a dear friend and a wonderful person. It breaks my heart that I'm unable to give you both a hug. Your mom may of shared with you that Tony & I are in Australia for 3 years. I ran into your mom at TJ Maxx a couple months before we left. I will cherish all the memories I have of her. She was there for me when my 1st love broke my heart and during the most difficult time of my life when my father died.
Your mom was very proud of you both and her grandchildren. The world has lost a loving and caring person. My thoughts are with you and your families.
Your favorite babysitter Donna
