Agatha K. DeRepentigny, 86, of Boothbay and Old Orchard Beach died on Feb. 18, 2022 at the Sussman House in Rockport.

Agatha was born on June 18, 1935, in Biddeford, Maine to Stanley and Mary Curly Kenney. She attended St. Mary’s schools in Biddeford and graduated from Old Orchard Beach High School in 1954. Following graduation, she married Daniel DeRepentigny and together they had four children, Denise Daniel, Kelly and Shawn.

After her children were raised and the businesses sold, she returned to Old Orchard to live and worked at the Beagle Ridge law firm in Portland where she was the receptionist. She was very fond of the firm’s partners and her coworkers and formed lasting friendships. She retired in 1999.

Agatha was predeceased by her parents, her three brothers Patrick, Stephen and John Bridges and her son Kelly DeRepentigny and daughter-in-law Ann DeRepentigny.
