Pollard

FALMOUTH - Faye R. Pollard, age 86, passed away peacefully on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at Sedgewood Commons, Falmouth, Maine after her battle with Alzheimer’s/Dementia. Born on February 5, 1940, in Randolph, Maine, to the late Myron Joseph Newton and Amy Ethel Newton, Faye lived a life marked by boundless devotion to her family and tireless dedication to those she loved.

As the second born of eleven children, Faye developed a remarkable sense of responsibility from an early age. She spent her childhood helping to care for her many younger siblings and other older relatives, laying the foundation for the nurturing spirit that would define her entire life. As an adult, Faye applied her strong work ethic as a dedicated worker in the shoe industry, balancing her employment with the demands of a growing household. She was honored to be called Aunt Faye by many of the younger generations of the huge family, and her home was always open to their daily visits.

Faye was widely known as a busy multitasker who seemed to have eyes in the back of her head. She was an exceptionally active and good mother and grandmother, whose loving care and watchful guidance sustained her family through the years. Whether she was managing a bustling household or looking after relatives, she embodied the very essence of a natural caretaker. Her warmth, strength, and unwavering support left a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.

Faye is reunited in eternal rest with her beloved husband, Robert E. Pollard, as well as her parents. She is survived by her loving family, including her beloved son Randy Pollard and his wife Kim Of Manchester, Maine; as well as her devoted daughter, Terri Burgess and her husband Jack of Brunswick, Maine; and her other devoted daughter Angel Sumrall and her husband Mike of Brunswick, Maryland as well as 10 grandchildren and one great grandchild. She is also survived by her younger brothers Jack Newton of Dresden, Maine, Tex Newton of Brunswick, Maine and Richard Newton and his wife Mary of Brunswick, Maine. Though her physical presence is deeply missed, the legacy of her love, industry, and devotion remains a guiding light for all who were blessed to know her.
