SEBAGO — Rosabel (Roby) Dyer passed away peacefully on Dec. 5, 2023, after a fulfilled and prosperous life at the age of 98.

Roby married Warren Bacheldor in 1943 and resided in Sebago, to raise their five children. Roby remarried in 1964 to Loomis Dyer and continued living at her family homestead in Sebago.

Roby’s careers and interests were being the proprietor of a dairy bar, driving school bus, and assisting with the startup of the rescue unit in Sebago. She was self-sustained with planting, harvesting and canning from her oversized vegetable garden. Roby set precedence of being a creative seamstress. She held a craft booth at Sebago Days every year for decades selling her homemade pot holders, dog coats, doll clothes, and much more. Her passion was organizing and cooking for the bake sales and baked bean suppers at the North Sebago United Methodist Church. Roby was honored in 2019 as a recipient of the Boston Post Cane for being the most senior resident in Sebago.
