WILMA BOZAK BALDWIN
Combining the clear broad paint strokes of natural grace, pigments of
determined resilience along with the hues and tones of kindness, a brilliant portrait
of Wilma Bozak Baldwin took shape.
At the age of 86, Wilma left us to be with her loving God. Wilma was born
in Raven Run, Pennsylvania on September 19, the daughter of Michael and Anna
Bozak. She grew up in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania and graduated from the
Philadelphia School of Art. She worked in and loved fashion and design. Her
journey led her to marry John Baldwin in 1952. They began life together in the
Washington, DC area where they raised their family.
In 1994, Wilma and John moved to Portland, Maine. Embracing the beauty
of the New England environs, she spent her time painting watercolors, cooking,
sewing, reading, and enjoying her beloved husband, the beauty of her children,
grandchildren, and friends. Her house never was less than a home.
Wilma was predeceased by her husband John, brother Michael Bozak, and
sister Louise Bozak Shaw.
She is survived by many who will miss her greatly including her sister, Sr. Bernadette Ann of Wilkes-Barre, PA, her six children; Anne Ruth Baldwin and her husband, Mike Bremer of Espanola, NM, Karen “Kee” Baldwin-Payne and her husband David Payne of Portland, ME, Mary Louise Baldwin of Portland, ME, Harry Baldwin and his wife Nancy Lucas of Mooresville, NC, John Baldwin and his wife Pilar Lorenzo of Miami Shores, FL,
Robert Baldwin of Portland, ME and her grandchildren; Wesley Lucas, Jessica
Lynn and her husband Taylor Schoppee, Emily Jane, Zachary David, Allyson
Marie, and Grace Anne.
Wilma loved life. Her life’s canvas showed how she made life worth living.
Her artful manner touched more than imagined. She will be missed.
