June 18, 2013HERMON - Helen B. Haskell, 87, died peacefully June 17, 2013, in Orono. She was born Nov. 17, 1925, in Hodgdon, daughter of Simeon and Cordelia (Leavitt) Bell.

Helen loved rug hooking, bird-watching, fishing, and family dogs. To the delight of her family she baked thousands of loaves of bread and many batches of blueberry bang belly and molasses cookies. More than anything she loved her family. Her patient and caring heart contained so much love it could not be contained and she was always ready to extend a warm welcome, share a family dinner, or offer a kind word to those her family brought home.
Though she raised five children of her own, she was also grandmother to nine and great-grandmother to two, with another due in July. She was mother, "gram" and sister to so many more.In addition to her parents and husband, Helen was predeceased by her brother, Kenneth Bell; sister, Dorothy Potter; granddaughter, Jennifer Wilson; and son, Michael Haskell.
