She was an avid UMaine Hockey and Football fan. It has been a long-time joke that when she went to the bathroom during a hockey game, Maine would score. We only wished that she had gone to the bathroom more often. She was proud to make Coach Whitehead’s sandwich for him daily while they both worked at the University of Maine.
