Obituary of Bernice Lillian Moulton

Bernice Lillian (Young) Moulton, 99, formerly of Dudley, Mass., died March 21, 2016 in Palm Bay, Fla. She was born June 26, 1916 in Anson, Maine, one of Eugene and Cora Young's seven children. She graduated from Anson Academy and had numerous occupations before marrying Fayette T. Moulton on August 23, 1945. She excelled at her most important roles of wife, mother and homemaker. Her favorite place was under the oak trees in the back yard of their home in Dudley, listening to her beloved Red Sox on the radio. We, her children believe that we won the parent lottery. Her marriage lasted 60 years, until the death of our father in 2005. Survivors include a daughter and son-in-law, Beverly Moulton Prescott and Sam Prescott of Townsend, Tenn.; a daughter and her partner, Donna Moulton and Steve Slaff of Tucson, Ariz.; a son and daughter-in-law, Keith and Fay Moulton of Sebastian Fla., and several nieces and nephews. A graveside service and interment of Mr. and Mrs. Moulton's ashes will be held, probably in the fall, at Mt. Zion Cemetery in Webster. Contact Donna.Lee.Moulton@gmail.com for information as it becomes available. Anyone who wishes to honor the memory of Mrs. Moulton is asked to make a contribution to The Jimmy Fund, in lieu of flowers. The Moulton family is grateful to Mark Bartel and the staff of Bartel Funeral Home, 33 Schofield Avenue, Dudley for their expertise and compassion in guiding us though our parents' final arrangements.www.bartelfuneralhome.com
