BANGOR – Carol (Dunham) Goodwin Leech, 86, passed away peacefully June 23, 2023, with family by her side. She was born May 5, 1937, in Milo, Maine, the daughter of Chester and Genevieve (Austin) Dunham.
Carol moved to Bangor after graduation and worked for New England Telephone and Telegraph Company. She met and married Edwin H. Goodwin and lived in Bradford. They had two children, E. Steven and Diane. They moved to Bangor when Steven started school.
Carol remarried and was widowed by her second husband, Charles A. Leech, in 1997.
Carol also worked for Eastern Maine General Hospital and Bangor Mental Health Institute. Eventually she made a career as a bookkeeper for New Central Furniture, Friedman Furniture, Loiselle & Beatham CPA’s, and the City of Bangor at the Civic Center.
