Jane Haskell Obituary
PORTLAND - Jane A. (Howe) Haskell, 79, of Portland, passed peacefully on Sept. 18, 2018, with her family by her side. She was born in Portland on May 5, 1939, the daughter of the late Elwood and Elizabeth Howe.
Jane graduated from Deering High School and went on to get a business degree at Grey's Business School. Jane went on to have a lifetime career as an Equestrian Instructor and Horse Trainer at her farm "Oak Knoll" in Scarborough. After retiring, she taught horse back riding at Camp Ketcha in Scarborough for many years.
Besides Jane's passion for horses, she loved to be at her camp at Higgins Beach. She would spend many days of the summer sitting on her front lawn or porch of "Sunny Sides". She will always be remembered for her wit and sense of humor.
Jane is survived by her daughter Liz Cavallaro and her husband Dan; grandchildren Christin Scott, and John Scott and his wife Darleen; great-grandchildren Stella Scott and Kieran Scott.
A graveside service will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 29, 2018, at Eastern Cemetery on Main St. in Gorham followed by a celebration of her life. To share a memory or condolence, please visit www.athutchins.com

I am so sorry to learn of Jane's passing. I have many fond memories. I grew up next door. She often brought me to Higgins to help with Elizabeth. Mostly, I had wonderful times on the beach with Jane and her parents. I will always remember as fun, generous and witty. My deepest sympathy.

Liz and Danny- so sad to hear of your Mom's passing. She has been the best neighbor on Ashton St for over 40 years . Our parents and Jane had a lot of fun there when we were young. I hope we all continue that tradition. We will miss her laugh and porch conversations . May your memories help you and your family through this sad time

So sorry, Liz about your mothers passing. My condolences to you and your family. I have wonderful childhood memories riding, and 4H. I learned so much from all those years with her. I think of King's Sugar, Fancy and your pony Macaroni! She will be missed. R.I.P. Jane.

Very sorry to hear of Jane's passing. She was one of my earliest riding instructors and 4-H leaders, and she was always a very fun lady. We had a wonderful group of girls at her barn; it was always very welcoming. Condolences to Liz and the family.

Liz - so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Her parents and mine were great friends for most of their lives and our family also enjoyed many good times with them at Higgins Beach where we all lived in the summer. Jane and I also went to Deering and she got me to take riding lessons in junior high. My condolences to the family,

Liz, I am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I loved your mom. She taught me discipline and responsibility thru riding, "Heels down and stop sticking your butt out Rita" and more importantly love and kindness. The barn was a place of joy for me throughout my life. I will always treasure my memories of your mom. Sending love to you and yours. Rita Ready
