WOOLWICH — Ronald C. Oulton, 90, of Woolwich, died Friday, Feb. 26, 2010, at home with his family by his side.
He was born in Jalicue, Canada, on July 1, 1919, the son of Allen and Dorma Oulton. He moved to Maine as a small boy and grew up in the Bath area, graduating from Morse High School in 1936.
After high school, he worked at Hyde Windlass before being drafted into the Army during World War II. He returned home to work at Hyde Windlass and was recalled to the Army during the Korean War, where he received the Purple Heart. Following the war, he worked at Bath Iron Works as a machinist. He retired in 1974.
Oulton married his first wife, Ella White, on Nov. 24, 1940, in Bath. She died on April 14, 1990. He married Carol A. Jenkins at the Corliss Street Baptist Church on April 16, 1991.
He was a member of the Corliss Street Baptist Church; a life member of the Solar Lodge No. 14 of Masons; a two-time past president of the Bath Area Senior Citizens; a Boy Scout leader; and a councilor for the city of Bath.
He loved to be with family and enjoyed being around the grandchildren.
He took up carpentry as a hobby after retiring, but it soon turned into full-time work, which left little time for his other interests, such as hunting, gardening and fishing.
Besides his first wife, Oulton was predeceased by a sister, Helen Black.
Survivors include his wife of 18 years, Carol; two sons, Richard Oulton of Edgecomb and Ralph Oulton and his wife, Frankie, of Cumberland; a stepdaughter, Marjorie Bolduc and her husband, Patrick, of Augusta; seven grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be sent to Corliss Street Baptist Church, 402 Middle St., Bath, ME 04530.
At his request, there will be no visiting hours. A celebration of his life will take place today, Monday, March 1, at 2 p.m. at the church.

Obituary
Jessie Leona Smith (June 23, 1931 - October 5, 2012) It is with great sorrow that we announce the death of our beautiful, intelligent and talented sister, Leona on Friday, October 5, 2012. She was born in Amherst on June 23, 1931 to Jessie Hannah Sisk Smith and Carl Acel Smith, a musician and engineering student. By 1937 the family, which now included two additional members, Annie and Carl Jr., moved to Lachine, Quebec, where employment opportunities for engineers were available between the end of the great depression and preparation for war. The Smith family increased with the arrival of Robert in 1938 and Leona's siblings numbered three. The family have remained close ever since. All four members were educated in Quebec. Leona graduated from high school at the age of 15 and subsequently received her credentials at University of Montreal affiliate L'Ecole Superieur de Musique in Lachine, Quebec. She was a student and performer with a drive for learning the intricate music and language of the Masters ,including French, German and Italian. She was immediately called upon to sing in a wide variety of venues and to play the organ in cathederals and churches of all denominations. Her talent took her to the USA where she was billed as the "Little Canadian" girl with the Big Voice doing operas and musicals such as " Carmen," " The Vagabond King" and "The Red Mill". Leona's only child, Robbie, was born October 28, 1954, and in 1959 the family moved to Nova Scotia, having built a home overlooking Jordan Bay. She enjoyed nothing more than helping to gather all the instruments and performing with her musical family including original compositions written by her son, brother, and sister. Leona was a family girl who had a natural gift for tending, caring, cooking and sharing and she will be sorely missed by her family and friends. Visitation will be Wednesday, October 10 from 7-9 p.m. in H. M. Huskilson's Funeral Home, Shelburne. A funeral service will take place on Thursday at 2:00 pm in St. Andrews United Church, Lockeport, with Pastor Kevin Cox officiating. Memorial donations made be made to the Roseway Hospital Foundation Fund.
