Obituary for Hobart William "Bill/Heben" Finnemore
HOBART WILLIAM FINNEMORE
CASWELL & JOHNSTON, IA
Caswell & Johnston, IA – Hobart William Finnemore (Bill/Heben), 86, passed away Friday afternoon, March 26, 2021 at the Maine Veterans Home, Caribou, following a period of declining health. He was born July 1, 1934 in Caswell, the son of Floyd and Mattie (Gould) Finnemore.
Heben attended school in Caswell and was a graduate of the Limestone High School, Class of 1952, and went on to graduate from the University of Maine in 1956 with a degree in Agriculture. He was drafted into the United States Army where he served as a communications specialist from 1957 to 1959. Heben married Roberta Adams on December 19, 1959. After his military service, Heben worked for the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a surveyor, soil specialist, and agriculture researcher in Presque Isle. Later, the family moved to Iowa where he started and ran a moving business for many years. Heben’s faith was central to his life, and he was baptized and grew up in the Caswell Methodist Church.
In adulthood, he preached in Methodist Churches, later becoming ordained in the Assembly of Spiritual Healers and Earth Stewards International Congregation. He changed his name to Heben, as it means “Bringer of Light”. Heben enjoyed spiritual work and dowsing, writing many books on spiritual matters, traveling throughout the country to hold lectures and workshops and providing spiritual counseling.
Heben was predeceased by his parents; and brothers, James, Timothy, and Fred. He is survived by his brother, Robert Finnemore of Carterville, GA; sisters, Nancy McLaughlin of Fort Fairfield, Priscilla Nichols of Northport, FL; daughter, Mary Finnemore and her husband Eric Good; and granddaughters, Rose and Ryan Reischl, all of Fort Fairfield; several nieces and nephews.
The family would like to thank the nurses and staff of the Caribou Maine Veterans Home for their compassion and genuine care, especially during this pandemic.
A graveside service with military honors will be conducted at a later date at the Northern Maine Veterans Memorial Cemetery, Caribou. Those who wish may contribute in memory of Mr. Finnemore to the United Parish Church Memorial Fund, c/o Jane Hunt, 15 Fisher Street, Fort Fairfield, Maine 04742. Arrangements have been entrusted to the Giberson-Dorsey Funeral Home and Cremation Service, 144 Main Street, Fort Fairfield. Online condolences may be expressed at www.gibersondorseyfuneralhome.com .
