Doris Seekamp Obituary

Doris Catherine Seekamp, 78

PORTLAND - Doris Catherine Seekamp passed away Feb. 8, 2018.

She was born Aug. 12, 1939, in Jamaica, N.Y., to Edwin and Louise (Helferich) Baker.

Doris graduated from Franklin K. Lane High School in New York City. Following high school, she did clerical work, and married Henry C. Seekamp on July 3, 1960. She and Henry moved a lot because he was in the Army, but they eventually settled in Maine.

They moved to Owls Head in 1985, where they owned a natural food store (Mountain View Market). They moved to Falmouth in 1987, where she managed a temporary help service (Norrell). She then opened a day care in her home until her retirement in the late 1990s.

Doris loved gardening and spending time with her family. She was very generous and volunteered at veterans homes, the Red Cross, and various churches. She was a member of St. Luke's Cathedral in Portland for 10 years.

Doris was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Robert and Thomas; and son, Henry C. Seekamp Jr.

She is survived by her husband, Henry C. Seekamp Sr., of Portland; sister, Janet Dublis, of Southwest Harbor; daughter-in-law, Theresa Seekamp, and granddaughter, Bernadette, of Scarborough; two nephews, Scott Dublis of Southwest Harbor, and Wayne Dublis and his wife, Sonya, of Florida; cousin, Paul DaSilva and his wife, Evelyn, of Malverne, N.Y.; and several other nieces and nephews.

Visitation will be held from 10 a.m.-noon, with a funeral service at noon, on Friday, Feb. 16, 2018, at A.T. Hutchins Funeral Home. Interment will be at a later date at Central Maine Veteran's Cemetery in Augusta. To share a memory or condolence, please visit: www.athutchins.com.

I got my first job with Norell when I got divorced. I had no job, (just a housewife).
Doris was so kind to me,had faith in me, I then went to a permanent position at Freeport town hall. She checked in on me a couple of times..She truly cared about her clients!
