- CAROLYN MARTINDALE BLOUIN, 92
Portland Press Herald (ME) - Thursday, November 30, 2000
Carolyn Martindale Blouin, 92, died Nov. 28, 2000, in Dover, N.H.
She was born at Sweet Briar College in Amherst, Va., a daughter of Carrie Kimble Martindale and Ross Van Arsdale Martindale.
Ms. Blouin was a graduate of Sweet Briar College and was involved with the college throughout her life.
In 1948, having lived in Baltimore, New Jersey and Boston, she and her husband wanted to leave the city for the country. They brought their young family to South Berwick, where they founded a business, Maurice F. Blouin, Inc., that manufactured visual merchandising products for the banking industry. She worked for the company during its early years and contributed greatly to its ongoing success.
She was active in town affairs until her health faltered in recent years. In 1970-71 she was instrumental in founding the South Berwick Public Library, and was the Rotary Club's Citizen of the Year in 1994. The Blouins' Christmas open house at their home, Old Joy Farm, was an annual event for nearly 40 years, said her family.
She also was an activist. As a Republican in the 1950s, she became active in the Maine Chapter of the League of Women Voters. In the early 1960s she joined the civil rights struggle, becoming active in the Seacoast Council on Race and Religion (SCORR) and the Portsmouth chapter of the NAACP. She participated in the 1963 March on Washington. Listening to Martin Luther King Jr. deliver his famous speech was one of the most memorable and empowering moments of her life. She became active in the Democratic Party as well as several organizations that work toward world peace and unity.
She was known for her honesty and generosity, and for her commitment to social, political, environmental and spiritual causes. Gifted with a sparky sense of humor, kind, flexible, open, ever-curious, she never gave up on anyone or anything.
Surviving are her husband, Maurice F. Blouin of Langdon Place in Dover; a daughter, Deborah, of Tempe, Ariz.; two sons, Denault Blouin of Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Craig Blouin of Henniker, N.H., and two grandsons.
A service to celebrate her life will be held at 3:30 p.m. Sunday at the Whipple Arts Center at Berwick Academy on Academy Street in South Berwick.
