BAR HARBOR Many who loved her said in-person goodbyes to Helen Douglas last week at a gathering in her front yard on Route 3 that included live music, crystal singing bowls, art and other symbols of their admiration for a life well lived.
Douglas was diagnosed with cancer in January and died on Friday at her home, surrounded by art and loved ones.
In her 87 years, she influenced and connected with many through her creative, artistic endeavors and healing arts. Douglas became a Reiki Master four years ago and told her daughter, Laura Johnson, “I should have been doing this all along.”
