Jane Cormier Obituary

Jane Arleen (Cunha) Cormier
1960 - 2017
FAIRFIELD - It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Jane (Cunha) Arleen Cormier, 56, of Fairfield on April 1, 2017.
Jane was born on Sept. 21, 1960, in Lynn, Mass. She was the youngest of four and is predeceased by her parents, Joseph and Ruth (Martin) Cunha.
Jane had a strong personality and a bright smile that could light up a room. She was an avid reader and a formidable trivia opponent, an engaging teller of jokes and stories.
Jane loved all animals, even bats, and she was loved by them in return (except the bat -- it bit her). She fell in love with the Maine wilderness and spent much of her time hiking, camping, and foraging. She considered herself fortunate to have escaped the city and was always grateful for the wild beauty of Maine that she was able to experience.
She leaves behind the great love of her life, Bill Annis, her partner of 20 years, and his family, Bill and Jane Annis, who were like parents to Jane, and Lisa (Annis) Hood, whom Jane considered a sister. Jane is also survived by her daughter, Angela Agganis; her brother Joseph Cunha, sisters Sandy (Cunha) Chadwick and Diane (Cunha) Agganis; and three stepsons, David, Jason and Matthew Annis.
A celebration of life will be held at the American Legion Fairfield on Saturday, April 15, at 2 p.m. Please bring a dish of food to share if you are able.
