WINTHROP-- Madeleine (Maddy) Elizabeth Dostie, 23, passed away October 20, 2024 at Barbara Bush Children's Hospital in Portland, Maine. Maddy was born August 4, 2001 in Albany, Oregon to Wendy Hochendoner and Tanner Dostie.
Maddy moved to Maine when she was 5 and attended school in Gardiner, Winthrop and Brunswick, graduating from Brunswick High in 2019. Her love for and knowledge of all animals was legendary by all who knew her. Her smile would light up any room and it never waivered during her long battle with cancer. No one had a more giving, kinder and gentler spirit than Maddy. She loved her trips back to Oregon and spending time with her dad at camp. She had perfected her Nana's deviled eggs and biscuits & gravy recipes and loved painting rocks with her Grammy.
Maddy is survived by her mother, Wendy Hochendoner and partner Sean Callahan; her father, Tanner Dostie; her sisters, Sophie Dostie and Kelsey Spearin; her grandparents Melinda Hochendoner, Mari and Vincent McGuire, and Anthony and Renee Dostie; and many beloved aunts, uncles and cousins. She was preceded in death by grandfather Karl Hochendoner and uncle Evan Dostie.
In lieu of flowers, Maddy would have loved donations to Barbara Bush Children's Hospital or Maine Children's Cancer Program in her name.
The family wishes to thank the extraordinary doctors, nurses and staff at Barbara Bush Children's Hospital and Maine Medical Center. The care and compassion we received made Maddy's final journey incredibly peaceful and loving.
A celebration of Maddy's life will be held on Sunday, November 10th at 1pm at the North Wing of the Augusta Civic Center, 76 Community Dr., Augusta, ME 04330 where a reception will follow from 2pm to 4pm. In honor of Maddy's beautiful spirit, those in attendance are encouraged to wear bright colors. In lieu of flowers, Maddy would have loved donations in her name to Barbara Bush Children's Hospital, 22 Bramhall St. Portland, ME 04102 or Maine Children's Cancer Program, 100 Campus Dr. Suite 107 Scarborough, ME 04074. Arrangements have been entrusted to Plummer Funeral Home, 16 Pleasant St., Augusta.
