DOVER - William Nathan 'Nate' Folwell, of Dover, died at home on December 18, 2011, at the age of 88. He had been under the care of The Delaware Hospice home program since January 2010.

He grew up in Mullica Hill, attending public school there and began attending the Mullica Hill Quaker Meeting at age five. He left home in 1941 to join the Merchant Marines in the war effort. After his service in World War II, he married Joan Arné from Jamaica, N.Y. Nate Folwell worked for about thirty years at the Dupont Chambers Works Plant in Deepwater, N.J. Retiring together in May 1979, Nate and his wife moved to Morehead City, N.C. After nearly two decades they then moved to Dover, joining the Camden Society of Friends.
