PORTLAND ... Debra B. Lake, 53, of Westbrook, formerly of Chesterville, a
woman with a zest for life, passion for charitable works and an abundance
of love for her family, died Wednesday morning, Nov. 10, at the Maine
Medical Center [PORTLAND], of complications from a brain aneurysm. Born
in Chesterville, Feb. 14, 1946, a daughter of Dana Butterfield and Iva
Clements Butterfield, she grew up in Chesterville and attended Farmington
High School, where she was a majorette. She developed a love of horses
at an early age on the small farm where her family lived. She spent much
of her time with her special horse, Patsy and had her for many years. In
1964, she married Terrance Z. Lake and welcomed a baby daughter, Theresa
Marie.  The couple moved to Albany, N.Y., where Mrs. Lake worked for the
telephone company. The couple later returned to Maine and eventually
settled in the Portland area. Mrs. Lake later spent numerous years
working for H.M. Payson and Dean Witter in the securities industry. She
also worked part-time at the Dress Barn in South Portland. She devoted
several hours of her time to charity. The Bruce Roberts Fund and the
Ronald McDonald House were just two of the charities she was committed
to. In 1986, her first grandson, Dana, was born. The following year,
she welcomed a granddaughter, Lynn. Despite her status as a grandparent,
Mrs. Lake was notorious for combining her joie de vivre with her love
for Dana and Lynn. She enjoyed hiking, riding motorcycles, fishing,
boating, camping and working out. She was also widely known for her love
of shopping, especially for antiques. Survivors include her daughter,
Theresa Lake Hoffer and son-in-law, Michael Hoffer, grandson, Dana Kitchin
