    SOUTHWEST HARBOR – Christine “Teen” Lillian Conlogue Moran Boutilier, our sweet, lovely Mum, left us today, March 22, 2012.  She was born “in back” on the farm in New Limerick, Maine, on July 8, 1919, to Daniel Linwood Conlogue and Lala Ione (Horton) Conlogue. She died at Maine Coast Memorial Hospital, just a few doors down from the maternity ward, which was her favorite part of nursing and where she spent many happy hours with her colleagues, who affectionately call her “Mogie”.
    She graduated from Ricker Classical Institute in Houlton in 1938 and then trained at Aroostook General Hospital to become a registered nurse. She affiliated at hospitals in Providence, RI and Portland, Maine. Most of her nursing career was spent at Maine Coast Memorial Hospital in Ellsworth. She also worked two years at Mount Desert Island Hospital and was camp nurse at Camp Jordan on Branch Pond, for two summers in the early 1960’s, which she enjoyed immensely.
    After retiring from MCMH, she worked at Courtland Nursing Home in Ellsworth. She moved back to New Limerick after the death of our father and met the second love of her life. They spent 18 wonderful years together, camping and fishing and exploring the back roads of the County.
    We’re sure many people remember her as a gentle, caring nurse. We remember her as a gentle, caring, fun, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great grandmother.
    Christine is survived by her son, Gary Moran and his wife, Lori of Bucksport, her daughter, Wanda Moran of Southwest Harbor, six grandchildren; Shannan Hawkins and her husband, Rick of Bakersfield, CA, Stacy Davis and her husband, Pat of Fort Stockton, TX, Danette Connor and her partner, Edd Hamor of  Mount Desert, Joy Levesque and her husband, Michael of Southwest Harbor, Brennen Moran and his partner, Noel Wingate of Denver, CO and Glenn Moran of Bucksport.

She was blessed on December 7, 2011, with a great-great grandson, Jack Connor. She is also survived by one sister-in-law, Mavis Conlogue of Pittsfield and a cousin, Joyce Blake of Houlton; brothers-in-law, Bill Boutilier of Smyrna and Clyde Boutiler and his wife, Patti of Oakfield; many nieces and nephews, who may remember her from many fun 4th of July family reunions.
    In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her brother, Ernest Conlogue, her first husband, Glenn Moran, a son, Stephen Moran, her second husband, Wellman (Tod) Boutilier and a great-granddaughter, Amanda Christine.
