Falmouth, ME- A life well lived sums up the journey of Dorothy H. Milliken, who passed away peacefully on October 5, 2022, at Gosnell Memorial Hospice House in Scarborough. She was born on April 7, 1929, in Portland, a daughter of Hathorne and Margaret (Rice) Hussey. Dorothy attended kindergarten through college on Stevens Avenue in Portland. She married E.
