Jean Shirley (Wentz) Cressy, 90, of Fryeburg, Maine, passed away on January 7 at her home with family nearby.
Jean was born on September 8, 1935, in Melrose, Md., to Maurice Sr. and Pauline Wentz. She grew up and lived in Manchester, Md., until she met the love of her life, Warren Cressy, in the Empire State Building. They were married in 1957 and then moved to Fryeburg, around 1963 with their two young children Michael and Andrea. Jean worked at the A&P store as a cashier until they closed. After closing, she started work at Emery’s until their closing, where most people remember her and her smiling face greeting them and assisting them as a cashier. She then worked at Harvest Hills Animal Shelter for 22 years, only stopping about six months prior to her death.
