Kevin B. Newell

Kevin B. Newell, age 67, of Lunenburg, formerly of Livermore Falls, ME passed away peacefully in his home on September 1, 2018 supported his by family. Kevin was born February 19, 1952 to the late Walter and Blanche (Benedetto) Newell and grew up in Livermore Falls, ME with a brother Brian Newell and 2 sisters Debbie Lidstone and Cathy Nichols. 

Kevin met the love of his life, Joan, in 1970 and they were married Oct 21, 1972. Kevin was a loving husband, father and grandfather who worked very hard to support his family. Kevin worked the last 40 years as a machinist in the plastic mold industry most recently with BWAY Corp, Plastican Inc, and Mar Lee Molds of Leominster. He enjoyed spending time with all of his grandkids. Kevin would routinely walk through the neighborhood on a daily basis. Not everyone knew his name but everyone that has met him will always remember his trademark black fedora hat with the peacock feather in it. Kevin had a friendly, open, warming personality that he could engage anyone, especially a stranger waiting next to him, in a conversation that you would swear they have known each other for years.
