Woolwich – Stephen W. Allen, 78, of Woolwich died Wednesday, January 16, 2019, peacefully at Mid Coast Hospital in Brunswick. 

He was born in Bath on August 9, 1940, the son of Arthur H. and Lois E. (Reed) Allen. He attended a one room schoolhouse in Days Ferry, then Woolwich Central School and graduated from Morse High School class of 1958. He married the love of his life Peggy Lamson of Edgecomb in 1960 whom he had known his entire life. They were happily married for over 58 years. Stephen worked at Bath Iron Works as a pipefitter, M&R Giles in Edgecomb, and Dick Holbrook and Sons Excavation in Woolwich. 

Stephen loved telling stories of his life, of which he had many. He was a kind man who would give the shirt off his back to help others. He could do, build, make or fix anything. Stephen built a beautiful log cabin and a gorgeous stone chimney, using logs and stones from his own land, in which he and Peggy lived in after his retirement. 

Stephen is predeceased by his parents, his brother David, and his niece Paula Hersom. 

Stephen is survived by his wife of 58 years, Peggy, their daughter Stephanie of Woolwich, his three grandchildren Chelsea, Emily and her husband Justin, Stephen and his girlfriend Mina, two great-granddaughters Sophia and Sydney, his nephew and nieces Allen, Susan, Julie and their families, dear friends Henry, Betsey, Hank, and his sister and brother-in-law. 

A heartfelt thanks is extended to Dr. Gullo, the Parkview Infusion Center, and the doctors and nurses at Mid-Coast-Parkview Center. 

A celebration of life will be held 11:00 am on February 2, 2019 at the North Woolwich Methodist Church, 941 River Road, Woolwich. Arrangements are by Daigle Funeral Home, 819 High Street, Bath. Condolences may be made online at www.Daiglefuneralhome.com
