Peggy Kelsen Fickett
LIMINGTON – Peggy Kelsen Fickett, a beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away on March 11, 2025, after a courageous battle with colon cancer. Throughout her life, Peggy was a shining example of faith, resilience, and love, leaving an indelible mark on all who knew her.
Peggy’s Christian faith was a cornerstone of her life, guiding her through challenges and inspiring her to overcome obstacles with grace. She embraced life’s adventures wholeheartedly, creating cherished memories during her days in the sun at Lake Havasu, Ariz., where she loved kayaking and dancing. Her spirit of adventure and zest for life were contagious, and she approached each day with enthusiasm and kindness.
Peggy’s generosity, with her time and unwavering support for her family and friends, will always be remembered. As we celebrate her life, we honor her legacy of love, faith, and adventure.
She is survived by her devoted daughter, Debbie Kelsen, and her sons Michael Kelsen and Ronald Kelsen. Peggy was blessed with seven grandchildren, Michael Jr., Brittney, Joshua, Nolan, Samuel, Joseph, and Noah; as well as four great-grandchildren, Anella, Xanda, Ashlee, and Mike III, who brought her immense joy and fulfillment.
A memorial service will be held Saturday, April 5, at 11 a.m., at Living Waters Church, 197 Parker Farm Rd., Buxton, ME 04093, followed by a celebration of life in the church’s sanctuary.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
