Frederick E. Whitcher, a beloved resident of Northfield, NH, passed away peacefully on Thursday, June 12th, 2025, at the age of 101. Born on October 14th, 1923, in Franklin, NH, Fred lived a life marked by dedication, service, and love for his family and community.
Fred proudly served his country in the United States Army during World War II from 1943 to 1946 in the European Theatre of Operations. Following his service, he pursued higher education and graduated from the University of New Hampshire, class of 1949.

Fred was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph D. Whitcher and Catherine (Myres) Whitcher. He is survived by several nieces and nephews, who will cherish his memory and the legacy he leaves behind.
A graveside service will be held at the convenience of the family in Park Cemetery in Tilton.
