Virginia Pauline (Tibbetts) Pinette, 93, passed away on the morning of Jan. 17. Born on Sept. 11, 1924 in Damariscotta, she was the daughter of Belle Lenora Lucas (1901-1927) and Samuel King Tibbetts (1896-1969).
Ginny, as most people called her, married and moved away until the early 1980s when she came back to Damariscotta to live with her half-brother and his wife. While living here, she loved the animals, going for walks, and riding her bike.
Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her husband, Maxime Pinette (1923-1965); step-mother, Marguerite Sporie (1905-1981); step-sister, Elizabeth Smith Farrin (1929-2010); half-sisters, Lilly-Ann Tibbetts Creamer (1930-2017), and Helen Louise Tibbetts Hall (1939-1996); and half-brother, Samuel Robert Tibbetts (1931-2004).
She is survived by son, Fulton Pinette of Brunswick; and sister-in-law, with whom she lived for many years, Shirley Tibbetts of Damariscotta.
She will be laid to rest privately in the Hillside Cemetery in Damariscotta in the spring.
