Doris Reynolds McArthur, age 85, died peacefully on Thursday, January 10, 2019 at the Glenridge Nursing Care Facility following a lengthy illness. She was born in Bath, Maine on February 25, 1933 the daughter of the late Alvah Cyrus Reynolds and Agnes Mabel (Powers) Reynolds. 

Mom was educated in Georgetown schools and was a member of the first class to graduate from the Georgetown Central School in 1948 and was a graduate of Morse High School, class of 1952. 

After high school she moved to Augusta to work at the Augusta State Hospital where she met and married the late John William McArthur. She was a homemaker for most of her life, caring for the family home in Augusta for 52 years. She loved to care for her family, cats, house, plants, and outdoor flowers, some of which she brought from her family home in Georgetown. Doris never lost her love for Georgetown and was extremely proud of her Reynolds ancestry and enjoyed telling stories of her childhood. 

Doris is survived by two sons: Gerald Keene McArthur and his wife Pamela of West Gardiner, Maine and Ryan Eugene McArthur of Auburn, Maine; four grandchildren: Gerald Keene McArthur of West Gardiner, Todd Edward McArthur and his wife Stephanie of Farmingdale, Shaughnessey Ryan McArthur of Farmingdale, and Shea-Leigh Ruth (McArthur) Diehl and her husband Ryan of Auburn; five great grandchildren, her brother Eugene Alvah Reynolds of Georgetown, and several nieces and nephews. 

At her request there will be no funeral and no visiting hours. A private burial will be in the spring. 

The family would like to offer their extreme appreciation, thanks, and gratitude to all the staff of the Glenridge Nursing Care Facility who cared for her during her illness. Their care and compassion was very much appreciated by her and her family.
