Carl Cilley
1945 – 2016
FAIRFIELD – Carl Cilley, 70, of Fairfield, passed away on August 11, 2016, at Maine General Hospital in Augusta. He was born on October 5, 1945, in Portland, to Veleria Cilley and Carl Elegrona. He was raised in Waterville in the neighborhood of Trigger Hill off College Avenue, where he made many lifelong friends.
Carl was a truck driver all his life, many of those as an owner operator. He could still tell you all the best places to eat all over the country. He also loved to tell friends and family members the best routes to get to their destinations.
He loved to cook and he enjoyed fishing, hunting, ice fishing, and snowmobiling in his younger years. Carl loved his family and was sure that his grandchildren and great grandchildren were the smartest, most talented, and most attractive of all.
He is survived by his wife, Trena Cilley of Fairfield; his son, Carl Cilley Jr. (Trish) of Pittsfield; his daughters, Sandra Cilley of Georgia, Sharon Vitti (Mark) of Texas, and Stephanie Garza (Louis) of Windham; stepsons, Ronald Liberty (Kelly) of Benton, Randall Liberty (Jodi) of Clinton, Ryan Liberty (Colleen) of Wells, and Richard Liberty (Nicole) of Winslow; 19 grandchildren; three great-grandchildren and another on the way; in-laws, Vivian DeForest of Houlton, Vena Lary (Scott), Sally Magee (David), and Kathy McCarty, (Jim).
Carl was predeceased by his parents; stepfather, Basil Higgins; and his in-laws, Charles and Marie Ramsdell.
Celebration of life will be held at a later date at the convenience of the family. Arrangements under the care and direction of Dan & Scott’s Cremation & Funeral Service, 445 Waterville Rd., Skowhegan.
