Obituary:
WESTFORD- Paula C. Legg of Westford, previously of Kittery, ME, died on Sept. 14, 2011 at Mass General Hospital after a long and courageous battle with ovarian cancer.
Paula was born on August 28, 1959 in Winchester, MA, the daughter of the late James Legg, and Theresa Lyons.
Paula grew up in Westford and after high school attended UMass Lowell, earning a degree in Human Resource Management, graduating Magna Cum Laude. Paula's career progressed to the highest levels of Human Resource Management, working for General Electric, Pepsi, Watts Fluid Air, Wright Express, and Amesbury Group. The last ten years of her life were spent with the love of her life, her son Gavin. Always wanting a child, Gavin gave her the opportunity to be the Mom she always wanted to be. Gavin will sorely miss his Mom.
Paula will be remembered as a loving, caring, and generous mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend to all those who were fortunate enough to know her. She always had a helping hand for everyone. As a volunteer for the Ostomy Association of Boston, Paula was working on updating their Ostomy Resource guide. She volunteered any way she could to help others. She loved to go to Gerrish Island in Kittery, ME. She was an active member of the York Rotary Club when she lived in Kittery. She spent time working on her perennial gardens and opened her home to everyone.
Survivors include her cherished son Gavin Legg Spadano, her mother and her husband, Theresa and Ken Lyons of York, ME, her step-mom, Maureen Legg of Chelmsford, her sister Sandra Rivetts and her husband Michael of Pepperell, MA, brothers, Thomas Legg of Wells, ME and David Legg of York, ME, nieces and nephews Daniel Rivetts of Nashua, NH, Emily Rivetts of Ayer, MA, Stefani Rivetts of Pepperell, MA, and Adam Legg of York, ME, her step-sister Laura Nowick of Derry, NH, and her step-brothers Doug Lyons of Townsend, MA, and Kevin Lyons of Boxborough, MA, and her loyal dog Maggie Mae.
A special thank you goes out to the nurses and doctors of Bigelow 7 at Mass General Hospital who provided Paula with exceptional personal care during her battle with cancer.
