Deborah Davis

Skowhegan, ME - On the morning of February 7, 2024, Deborah Perkins Davis passed away from surgery complications in Skowhegan, Maine. Deborah was 72 years old. For the past 18 years she resided in Wellington Maine.

Deborah was born to Stanley and Clara Jean Davis in Albany, New York. She lived most of her early life in Hopkinton and Concord, New Hampshire, before moving to Portland, Oregon in 1990.

Deborah was a stay-at-home mom while her children were growing up and had many hobbies; weaving, sewing, and knitting for her mother's boutique, Gatherings by CJ, collecting antiques and growing herbs and sprouts for local grocery stores. Deborah also worked as office manager at Howlands department store and as an intake specialist at an alcohol rehabilitation program. When she lived in Portland, she worked in retail at JK Gill.

Deborah was a lifetime member of the Mayflower Society and travelled to England to further her interest in her family history and genealogy. She enjoyed gardening and would spend most of her free time tending to her beautiful flowers and vegetables. When she moved from Oregon to Maine in 2005, much of the moving van space was taken up with pots, tools, and flowers she wanted to transplant in her new home.

She had a passion for dachshunds and always had one by her side, likely because of her upbringing as the daughter of a dachshund breeder and well-known judge.

The friendships she made she had for decades. Her close friends would say she was a good listener, warm, empathetic, and generous.

Deborah is preceded in death by her son, Charles Blazon, who died in 1986. She is survived by her three daughters, Rebecca Blair, Rachel Swanson, and Carrie Davis-Blazon, her four grandsons, Greyson Blair, Matthew Blair, Jack Swanson, Calvin Swanson, sister Elizabeth Davis Drago, a niece Abigail and nephew Aaron.

There will be no services. Donations in Deborah's name may be made to the Polycythemia Vera research at The Leukemia And Lymphoma Society.

Becky, Rachel, Carrie and families, I am sorry to read about the passing of your mom. I often think of the summer that I was lucky to have you at my house and living in the neighborhood. You girls and Chuckie and my girls and JT. You were all a great, fun group. I was so hurt when "we" all lost Chuckie and it is my hopes that Mom and he are together again. I am sure she is learning more about Dinosaurs as we speak. God Bless you all.

I worked with Deb back in the early 70's at the Stop & Shop in Concord. I always thought highly of her and enjoyed working with her. She was in a supervisory position over the cashiers and baggers then. I was a few years younger then her and I was a cashier. She was so kind, thoughtful and caring. Always with her beautiful smile to help you in any way she could.
I worked there for four years and left to work for the State of NH. To this day I always have felt, working at Stop & Shop was the best job I ever had and still have fond memories to this day.
I do remember when she lost her son Charles, it was a devastating, tragic time for the family, friends and loved ones.
I have thought of Deb and others from Stop & Shop over the years. A lot of them hold a special place in my heart.
RIP Deb. Thank you so very much for your kindness and your beautiful smile you shared with everybody.

So sorry to learn of Deborah´s passing. While we didn´t cross paths very often, we shared the loss of a child, her Charles Blazon and my son Michael. It is amazing that we both ended up in Maine. I now live in Hancock. Condolences to the family, especially Rebecca Blair.

Deborah will be missed by her friends at Huff Corner in Wellington, especially by my mom, Phyllis Cass, as they were always off on quilt shop hops, errands, appointments and lunch. My sympathies to her whole family.
