Celebrating the Enduring Legacy of Arthur A. Geaumont: A Life of Dedication and Love

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Arthur A. Geaumont, who departed peacefully on September 1, 2025, just shy of his 85th birthday. A beloved husband, devoted father, cherished grandfather, and respected educator, Arthur's life was a testament to kindness, wisdom, and an unwavering commitment to his community and family.

Born on October 12, 1940, in Portland, Maine, Arthur remained a lifelong resident of the city he loved.

He was a proud graduate of Portland High School and went on to serve his country honorably in the U.S. Army. Upon returning home, he pursued his passion for history, earning a degree that would pave the way for a distinguished 35-year career teaching history at his alma mater, Portland High School. Mr.

Geaumont, as he was affectionately known by generations of students, had a remarkable ability to bring the past to life, inspiring countless young minds with his engaging lessons and profound knowledge.

Arthur's greatest joy, however, was his family. He shared 60 beautiful years of marriage with his beloved wife, Mary Geaumont, a partnership founded on mutual respect, deep love, and shared laughter.

Together, they built a home filled with warmth and unconditional support for their two children, Susan Miller (and her husband David) and John Geaumont (and his wife Sarah). He took immense pride in his three grandchildren, Emily, Michael, and Lily, doting on them with boundless affection and always eager to share a story or a gentle piece of advice.

Beyond the classroom and his family, Arthur was a man of many passions.

He possessed a green thumb, cultivating a vibrant garden that was the envy of his neighbors, and found solace and joy in tending to his plants. A lifelong history buff, his home library was a treasure trove of historical texts, and he was always ready for a spirited discussion on world events or local lore.

Summers were often spent at Sebago Lake, a cherished family retreat where he enjoyed fishing, boating, and simply being surrounded by nature's tranquility.

Arthur will be remembered for his quick wit, infectious smile, and an inherent ability to connect with people from all walks of life. His quiet strength and generous spirit touched everyone he met, leaving an indelible mark on his community.

He was a pillar of support, a source of comfort, and a beacon of integrity. His legacy lives on not only in the minds of the students he taught but also in the hearts of his family, who will forever carry his love and wisdom.

A memorial service to celebrate Arthur's remarkable life will be held on [Date and Time] at [Location], where friends and family are invited to share their memories and pay their respects.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Arthur's name to [Suggested Charity, e.g., The Arthur A. Geaumont History Scholarship Fund at Portland High School]. He may be gone, but his spirit, his lessons, and his love will forever remain.
