Mary DEXTER

Notes:

Mary’s career path began in Lewiston at B. Peck Co., an affiliate of Boston-based Filene’s, where she met her husband, Reginald W. Boutin. An entry-level position managing a thriving Santa Photo Shop at Christmastime displayed Mary’s skill set. Her potential was quickly recognized and Mary was selected to join the ranks of management as one of the first female personnel directors of a major department store in the Filene’s corporate chain. For the next 10 years, Mary juggled management meetings in Boston, her work at B. Peck in Lewiston and her commitment to be an active parent.
Her commitment to family led Mary to shift career paths in her late 40s, and she became a social worker for Child Protective Services, Maine Department of Health and Welfare, in Portland and in Lewiston. Mary, nicknamed the “Hat Lady” at the office, wore a fashionable hat to work every day. At Mary’s retirement dinner in 1983, everyone wore a hat to honor her.

Died:
She recently as living at Birchwoods at Canco, Assisted Living, Portland.
