HARPSWELL — Anita Elizabeth Morse, a resident of Harpswell, passed away on March 5, 2015, at her home in Port Charlotte, FL, from complications due to Parkinson’s Disease. She was born on May 30, 1940, in Farmington, ME, a daughter of Walter and Earla Zachau. She grew up in Bowdoinham, ME, on a dairy farm, attended Bowdoinham schools and went on to graduate from Brunswick High School with the class of 1958.

On Dec. 31, 1960, she married Sheldon Morse of Harpswell and worked as a secretary for the Town of Harpswell for 30 years.
