ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Daniel "Danny" Everett Wing, 84, of St. Petersburg, Fla., passed away July 12, 2021 at Woodside Hospice House in Pinellas Park, Fla. He was born in Norridgewock, Maine on March 14, 1937, the second son of Merton Everett Wing and Irene Lillian Ladd.
The family moved from Norridgewock to Madrid, and Danny was educated in the Madrid and Phillips school system, graduating from Phillips High School in 1955. Danny first met his future bride, the former Miss Mavis Loey Atwood, when he picked up his prom date, who happened to be her sister. They were married at the Phillips Congregational Church on June 20, 1959. They had four children, and after each child was born, they moved to a new location for their growing family.
Danny worked in the shoe industry in Maine for 10 years, and then moved to Connecticut in 1966, because of better work opportunities. They finally settled in Durham, Conn. after the birth of their youngest daughter. Danny worked as a machinist at Pratt & Whitney for 32 years. After retirement Danny and Mavis moved back to Maine, but later became "snowbirds" with a winter residence in St. Petersburg, Fla. and a summer residence in Farmington, Maine. They eventually sold their Farmington home to live in Florida year-round.
Danny was a cub scout and boy scout master as well as a little league coach. He enjoyed hunting and fishing, and after retiring in Maine became a member of the "Biggest Bucks of Maine" club, by bagging a 225 lb. buck dressed. He loved picking dandelions to eat every spring, until his health prevented him from doing this. In the fall he loved to pick and eat berries.
Surviving him are his widow, Mavis, of St. Petersburg; four children and three grandchildren, Richard Joseph Wing and Alexia (Krionidou) and their children Nicholas Alexander and Natalie Mariana of Glastonbury, Conn.; Ronald Everett Wing of Meriden, Conn.; Raymond Thomas Wing and partner Lynda Lemar of Augusta with daughter Elizabeth Marie Wing and boyfriend Zachary Randall also of Augusta; and Rhonda Lynn (Wing) Eigabroadt of Bristol, Conn. In addition, Danny was survived by brother Theodore Otis Wing and his wife Margaret "Peg" of Middletown, Conn. and sister Marie Rose (Wing) Bubier and her husband Paul Bubier of Phillips. He also had 12 nephews and nieces as well as too many cousins to count. Danny was predeceased by his parents; a daughter in-law, Candice (Hinds) Forbes Wing and a son-in-law, Glenn Eigabroadt.
A family graveside service will be held at the Sunset View Cemetery in Norridgewock at a date and time to be determined.
Arrangements under the direction and care of Dan & Scott's Cremation & Funeral Service, 445 Waterville Road, Skowhegan ME 04976.
