Submitted by Rebecca Curtis, Topsham Grange
Sue Hackett peacefully passed away on January 2, 2026. She was a former Maine State Grange Youth Director, a position she dearly loved. She was a member of the former Merrymeeting Grange #256, & when that Grange sadly closed, she joined Topsham Grange #37. Over the years, she held the offices of Lecturer, Master, & Lady Assistant, with Lecturer being among her favorites. She always got many compliments on the great programs she put together. She was predeceased by her parents, Arthur & Shirley Curtis, former state deputies and members of Merrymeeting Grange. She is survived by her husband Steven Hackett, her sister Rebecca Curtis, her daughter Barbara Hackett & granddaughter Paige & other loved ones. A funeral is planned for spring, where she will be laid to rest with her parents at Bayview Cemetery in Bowdoinham. Details will be announced at a later date. She will be greatly missed, yet we are thankful that she’s no longer suffering.
