Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition with no known cause and few universally effective remedies. It is a somewhat mysterious condition that remains challenging to treat. CBD Oil has been shown potentially as a powerful pain reliever and symptom management option for those diagnosed with fibromyalgia. In studies conducted , a significant number of participants using CBD Oil treatment experienced reduced symptoms, with some even going on to live symptom-free!

While seeing many blogs come and go, or vanish a couple of months after launching, it’s been our team that has been creating content for our community for almost two decades.
Thanks to my friends that submit their stories, photos and community announcements to make everyone touched by it enriched. 100,000 posts over 19 years comes to roughly 14.5 posts a day, every day over that span. That’s unwavering dedication and I couldn’t be prouder of our team.

The day before the most recent storm, I decided to stock up on take out in case we lost power or were a little bit stuck at home. Since Poseidon’s is on the way, we choose from their menu offerings. I ordered online (easy peasy) and the pickup was ready right on time. We got a variety of items including pizza, salad, sausage roll, and soup. I have to pat myself on the back for the preplanning because it worked out great. We were among the lucky ones who did not lose power but we felt we should stay off the roads and out of the way of the various work crews. In a bonus surprise, because Poseidon’s is located at the one way traffic lights at Centennial and the Boulevard, it was actualy easier than usual to pull up for pickup, swing around the little block to wait for our turn to go over the bridge. Thank you Poseidon’s! Remember they are open during the brdige work.

On Saturday, the temperature was 43 degrees. Perfect for a winter walk on Wingaersheek Beach. Love the fact that the parking lot was full of cars with families and happy dogs.

Geraldine “Gerri” (Ciaramitaro) Genthner, 82, of Damariscotta, Maine, passed away peacefully on February 25, 2026, surrounded by her loving family. She was the devoted wife of Capt. Clell Genthner and a beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
Born December 12, 1943, in Gloucester, Massachusetts, the daughter of the late Capt. Joseph and Felicia (Curcuru) Ciaramitaro, Gerri was raised in a proud Sicilian fishing family, shaped by faith, hard work, and a close-knit community. She attended St. Ann School and graduated from Gloucester High School in 1961.
She first married Capt. Cosmo Marcantonio, with whom she shared three sons, Lawrence “Larry” Marcantonio, Joseph Marcantonio, and Cosimo Marcantonio Jr. In 1978, Capt. Cosmo was lost at sea, and Gerri went on to raise their sons with remarkable strength, resilience, and love.
In the summer of 1983, she married Capt. Clell Genthner and entered the most joyful chapter of her life. Together they enjoyed years of travel to Aruba and Florida, laughter, and time spent with family and friends. Gerri cherished her close circle of girlfriends, whose friendships brought her endless joy and countless shared memories.
The lake home Gerri and Capt. Clell shared in Damariscotta became a gathering place where she expressed her love through cooking, baking, and generous hospitality. She was also a gifted knitter and crocheter, leaving behind many handmade treasures for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Her devotion to her crafts, her home, and her family was matched by Capt. Clell’s devotion to her. During her long battle with Alzheimer’s disease, the full measure of their marriage became unmistakable, as Capt. Clell remained faithfully by her side each day, never allowing illness to diminish her light.
Gerri will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew her for her warmth, strength, and the love she shared so freely.
She is survived by her husband, Capt. Clell Genthner; her three sons, Lawrence “Larry” Marcantonio, Joseph Marcantonio, and Cosimo Marcantonio Jr. (companion Laurie Primus); her daughters, Robin Lailer (husband Gary) and Amy Parrish (husband Clint); her sister-in-law, Patricia Ciaramitaro; and her brother-in-law, Frank Genthner (wife Cecilia); her sister-in-law, Lois Benner. She is also survived by her grandchildren: Christina O’Maley (husband Mike) and their children, Ella and Ralph; Emily Mehrling (husband Kris) and their children, Eva and Charles; Madison Nelson (husband Ian) and their child, Emi; Allie Orton (husband Colin); Marisa Latassa (husband Anthony) and their children, Anthony and Lena; Matthew Marcantonio (fiancé Jordan Fears) and their child, Cosmo; Joseph Marcantonio Jr. (significant other Madison Vigliotta); Max Halter; Nick Halter (wife Madison); Alexis Lailer; Thomas Lailer and his child, Myla; and Evan Genthner; along with many nieces, nephews, godchildren, and close friends.
In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her brothers, Charles “Charlie” J. Ciaramitaro and Benjamin L. “Libby” Ciaramitaro; her sister-in-law, Angela Ciaramitaro; her first husband, Capt. Cosmo Marcantonio; her brother-in-law, Capt. Joseph L. Marcantonio (wife Marie); her daughters-in-law, Jean Marcantonio (wife of Larry) and Michelle Marcantonio (wife of Cosimo Jr.); her brothers-in-law, Gordon Benner (wife Betty), Adelbert Benner (wife Arlene), Edward Jr. Benner, and Malcolm Benner (wife Georgia); and her sister-in-law, Pauline Rogers (husband Charles).
A funeral Mass for Gerri will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 21, 2026, at St. Ann’s Catholic Church in Gloucester, MA. Family and friends are invited to gather for a collation downstairs in the church hall immediately following the Mass.
In lieu of flowers or other donations, memorial contributions in Gerri’s name can be made to The Cove’s Edge Resident Council. Cove’s Edge, 26 Schooner Street, Damariscotta, ME 04543
