Jeffrey E. Pelotte

VASSALBORO – Jeffrey E. Pelotte, 65, of Vassalboro passed away at home on Tuesday, Nov. 28, 2023 surrounded by family.

Jeff was born in Waterville on Sept. 5, 1958, the son of Rosaire and Bernice (Batchelder) Pelotte. He married the love of his life, Elizabeth (Fairfield) Pelotte in June 1980 and they enjoyed 43 years together. He spent his career as a drywall installer and finisher. Travel for his job took him all over the state so he always knew the most beautiful places in Maine to take his family and where to buy the best seafood.

Jeff was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed hunting, fishing, and camping. He was a generous person who would always help friends and family when needed. Jeff was a skilled craftsman and was usually working on projects either at his home or one of his children’s homes. He was a caring, supportive husband and father who taught his children many important life skills. His grandchildren will remember how he loved to bring home small treats for them and how he always wanted to hear about their interests and after-school activities. Jeff enjoyed family parties and always tried to get people to dance.

He is survived by his loving wife Beth; children Aaron and Jessica Pelotte of Vassalboro and Andrea and Matt Galasyn of Winslow; and his grandchildren Alex, Lilly, Caroline, and Margo. He is also survived by his mother, Bernice Pelotte of Waterville; siblings Jean and Ted Brown of Bradenton, Fla., and Judy Languet of South China; as well as many cousins, nieces, and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his father, Roger Pelotte; and siblings Jerry Pelotte and Joey Pelotte.

The family would like to thank Harold Alfond Cancer Center and Hospice for their care.

A Celebration of Life is scheduled for Jan. 7 at 2 p.m. at 255 Trafton Event Room located at 255 Trafton Rd., Waterville. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Jeff’s life.
