Hudson, ME and St. Augustine, FL – Alice Straub, 90, loving mother, grandmother and dear friend passed away to be with her Lord and Savior on September 17, 2016. Alice was born December 3, 1925 to the proud parents of Margaret and Belford Kilpatrick.
As a teenager, Alice went to work for the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard where she met her future husband Harry N. Straub Jr. They married in June of 1947 and began their family. Later in life, she went to work for Garlock Bearing and retired from there when she and Harry moved to St. Augustine, Florida. Because of her warmth, Alice made friends wherever she went. She was always more concerned about others than herself.
In her retirement she enjoyed visits from her family, her friends at New Life Baptist Church, picnics on the St. Augustine Beach, watching movies, and eating at Barnacle Bill’s. She was known for her butter cookies which she made and distributed every Christmas until it got to be too difficult. The family once had a butter cookie bake off to see if her son could pick out hers and he picked hers easily!
Alice was predeceased by her parents; her husband Harry N. Straub Jr. in 2001; her brother Daniel Kilpatrick and her sister Kate Romaine. She is survived by her sisters Marge Carey, Joan Tucker; and brother Belford Kilpatrick and wife Suzanne. Also, she is survived by her son Harry N. Straub III and wife Joyce of Hudson, Maine; daughters Eileen LeBlanc and husband Michael of Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, and Patricia Thompson and husband Fred of Warren, Maine. She is also survived by grandchildren Steven Straub and wife Michele, Scott Straub and wife Rachel, Mark Straub and wife Ruth, Frank Morelli, Helen Hajny and husband Ray, Russell Thompson, and Janice Cadwell and husband Scott. Her great grandchildren are Colby Straub, Maxwell Straub (Scott and Rachel’s), Ella Straub, Mia Straub, Cara Straub (Mark and Ruth’s), Camden Straub (Steven and Michele’s), Katherine Hajny, Thomas Hajny, Heather Shows (Russell’s), Michael Carr and Joseph Carr (Janice’s). She is also survived by five great-great grandchildren.
There will be a graveside service at Achorn Cemetery, Old County Road in Rockland, Maine sometime in October.
