WEST BATH – Darlene “Squawzie” Alexander, 69, passed away in her Fosters Point Road home on Saturday, May 18, 2019, surrounded by her loving daughter, Fern and nephew, Dennis.

She was born on Sept. 19, 1949 in Concord, N.H., the daughter of Howard and Fern Boston.

Darlene was a graduate of Wiscasset High School class of 1968. In her early life, she was a dedicated employee at the Chuck Wagon in Brunswick. After marrying the love of her life in 1980, husband, John K.
