LINCOLNVILLE Regina “Gina” Dombkowski Knight, 78, of Lincolnvile, Maine, lost consciousness in her sleep February 26, and passed away February 27, 2021.

Her adventurous spirit and their shared passion from travel led them many places – including a trip to Maine in 1990, the year they wed. Maine spoke to them: they both loved its open spaces and natural beauty, and launched their “five-year-plan” to live in Maine, buying land in Lincolnville in 1993, building a home together, and moving there in 1996 upon retirement.
