Jeanette F. Pitcher
Jeanette Frances Pitcher, 84, of Wiscasset and Brooksville, Florida passed away on March 3, 2021, at Oak Hill Hospital. She was born in Pine Plains, New York, and lived most of her adult life in the Wiscasset area.
Jeanette was a loving friend, cherished community member, a wonderful parent and grandparent. She was the loving administrative assistant at the Wiscasset Primary School for 30 years. Decades of children knew Mrs. Pitcher as the smiling beacon in the office that handed out kind words, Band Aids and secret snacks.
Jeanette loved her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren! The beautiful sounds of Jeanette’s giggles could always be heard as she taught, scolded playfully, and interacted with children and family. Jeanette’s world revolved around her wonderful great-grandchildren Callie and Claire.

According to a document released ahead of Wiscasset selectmen’s Tuesday, Jan. 19 meeting, new help may be coming to possibly get something going at the former Wiscasset Primary School.
Town Manager Dennis Simmons’ report, released via email Jan. 14, states he has asked Mary Ellen Barnes and Emily Rabbe of Lincoln County Regional Planning Commission to contact owner Steve Barndollar “to assist in getting his project moving forward.” The school on Gardiner Road closed in 2015. Wiscasset moved students to Wiscasset Middle School, renamed it Wiscasset Elementary and moved older students to the high school, now Wiscasset Middle High.
