1947 – 2016

LIVERMORE FALLS — Jane Louise Westberry, 69, a resident of Livermore Falls, passed away peacefully Saturday, Oct. 8, after a composed and admirable battle against cancer at her home. In her final days, she was surrounded by family and friends and lovingly cared for by many. Jane was a kind and thoughtful soul who was a friend to many.

She was born Oct. 3, 1947, in Lewiston, the daughter of Joseph and Mary Riordan. Jane graduated from Livermore Falls High School, Class of 1965. For many years, she worked as a certified nurse’s aide and provided compassionate care to countless people in the area. An intelligent and well-informed lady, Jane was able to converse with anyone on most any subject and read voraciously to satisfy her curiosity about the world. She had a particular interest in politics and history. Jane greatly enjoyed the outdoors and regularly spent time in Weld and summered often at the family home at Prince Edward Island.

The family would like to thank Marilyn MacDonald, Lisa and Nancy Townsend, Diane Newcomb, Martha Goding and family and many others for their tremendous efforts in helping Jane to remain at home comfortably in her final days.

She is survived by her son, Patrick and his wife, Nicola; and grandchildren, Benjamin and Abigail; brothers and sisters, Michael Riordan, Margaret Riordan, Kevin Riordan and Vincent Riordan, and their families. She also leaves behind many dear friends, nieces and nephews and extended family, and the Goding family who welcomed Jane into their family for the past 25 years.

Jane was predeceased by her parents, Joseph and Mary Riordan; sisters, Sheila Pierce and Kathy Collins; and brother, Hugh, who died as an infant.
