Monson - Barry W. Lovell, 82, passed away peacefully March 8, 2026, at his home. He was born December 6, 1943, in Dover-Foxcroft, the son of Chesley P. and Marion R. (Ridley) Lovell.

Barry graduated from PCHS in 1962 and attended UMPI before enlisting in the USAF. He proudly served 21 years as a Nuclear Weapons Technician, retiring at the rank of MSgt. He then worked his second career as a rural mail carrier for the USPS out of Dover-Foxcroft and Milo. Barry was most happy when he could be in the woods hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, and helping others when needed.

Barry is survived by his loving wife, Jo-Ann (Pulkkinen) Lovell; son, Stephen Lovell; daughter, Stephanie Lovell; six grandchildren, Ross, Geralyn, Dylan, Chesley, Tylan, and Matthew; and two great-granddaughters, Brynn and Angela. He was predeceased by his parents.

The family wishes to extend their gratitude to the Beacon hospice team. Special thanks to Carey and Patty Gregor for their support with regular visits and daily phone calls that brightened Barry’s every day right up to the end.

Per Barry's wishes there will be no funeral services. A private burial will be held at a later date in the family lot in the Abbot Village Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Barry's memory to the Monson Fire Dept., PO Box 308 Monson, ME 04464. Arrangements are in the care of the Lary Funeral Home.
