BELFAST - Martha Jane (Robinson) Weeks, 95, passed away at 5:05 a.m. Sept. 27, 2009, in her sleep. Martha, or Janie as many people called her, was born Aug. 4, 1914, in Houlton. Martha Jane is survived by her brother, Wallace W. Robinson Jr.; nephews, David A. Robinson and Peter J. Robinson; stepdaughter, Judith (Weeks) Harlow; and her daughters, Darby Thomas of Bedford, Mass., Stacey Billington of Dexter, Kristin Fornier of Auburn and Dana Morris of Bangor. Martha Jane began her life in Dyer Brook, with her father, Wallace W. Robinson Sr. and mother, Edna G. (Huntley) Robinson; and brothers, Kenneth, Herbert and Wallace Jr., nicknamed Jacky by Martha because he reminded her of Jacky Koogan. Although Martha's family roots began on a potato farm in Dyer Brook, owned by her parents, Martha wanted a life away from the farming community. She attended Dyer Brook schools until 1929, when she enrolled in Pine Tree Academy, Auburn, 1929-1931. After graduating Martha pursued cosmetology, working at Limestone Air Force Base and then in Portland. Martha attended business college in Portland. Martha enjoyed reading about history and genealogical research. In early years she also enjoyed skiing, fishing, fencing, pottery, sewing and homemaking. She supported her late husband, Willis J. Weeks, who was a successful executive for Bell Telephone Co., along with his many other interests and accomplishments. Martha lived at her home in Belfast until August 2008, when she became a resident of Tall Pines Nursing Home. Her family, who enjoyed her company, will sadly miss her. Martha's brother, Wallace "Jack" lived with Martha for 27 years and supported her and offered assistance during the years. A memory stone will be placed in the Robinson lot, Dyer Brook, in her honor. She will be interred in the Weeks lot at Prospect Hill Cemetery, Greenland, N.H. Rest in peace Martha, we love you.
