Doris Dianna Williams, born December 9, 1952, in Lewiston Maine to Cecile Rossignol and Gerard Long. She passed on May 31, 2025 after a long battle with Parkinson's and dementia. She was a devoted mother to her son Benjamin Boulay and surviving daughter Angeline Boulay.

She loved any and all children she met. She was known as the baby whisperer to many nieces, nephews, their babies, and any child she held. She was a lifelong seamstress, quilter, and sewing wizard her entire life. From making her own clothes at age nine to making her daughter's prom dresses, her niece Kim Saladino's wedding dress and numerous other items. Her quilts comfort and cover many beds across Maine, New York, and beyond. She loved to play pranks on her children and grand daughters. Laughter, reading, and creating were always part of being in her life. She loved to read and taught both her children a lifelong devotion to reading and literature. She was a devoted foster mom to many foster children.

She is survived by her daughter Angeline Marie Boulay, Grand daughters Everly Skylar Boulay, and Aurora Jennis Boulay, Daughter in Law Christine Boulay. Brothers John Long, Jim Long, and Norman Long. Sister in Laws Kathy Long, Kim Long, Dolly Long, Jackie Long, and Nancy Leadbetter. Aunt to many nieces, nephews, grand nieces, and nephews.

She is now at peace with her son Ben Boulay, her parents and siblings. She was predeceased by her parents, Gerard and Cecile; sister Geraldine, brothers  Bob and Joseph (Moose), and her son Ben (Lawrence). She lived her life fiercely and will be remembered for her smile and love.
