They returned to Maine in 2007 and at one time had 5 generations of their family living in their neighborhood.  Lucille and Clarence were recently recognized as having been the longest married couple in the state, approaching 80 years this past Aug. 4, 2019 just after Clarence passed.

Surviving are their daughter, Lorraine Benton of Bangor; three grandchildren, Robin Benton Campbell and her husband, Kern, Tammi Benton Grant and Ernie and Stephen Benton Nystrom and his wife, Eva; 9 great grandchildren; 17 great-great grandchildren; several nieces and nephews including a special nephew, Gene Crawford, who visited often.
