Catherine “ Jackie”
MacLeod, 82, of Bradford, died on Thursday, May 14th, at the Concord
Hospital after a long period of declining health.
Though born in Massachusetts, Jackie moved to Henniker as a toddler with her
family. She grew up in Henniker and
graduated from Henniker High School in 1945.
She was the devoted daughter of Thomas Fisher and Hanorah (Power) Fisher.
Jackie worked as a school bus driver for the
Kearsarge Regional School District for
almost 30 years, driving bus #6. She also worked for 25 years as the baker
in the hot lunch program at the
New London School. Previously, Jackie, along
with her husband, Dick, owned and operated Fisher’s Store at
Lake Massasecum in Bradford for 23 years, as
well as the Laundro-Mac in Henniker.
As a young woman, Jackie worked at the Henniker Pharmacy, K and P Grocery
and Grace’s Diner, all in Henniker. She worked for
Jordan Marsh in downtown Boston, and
was a US Census taker. She sold homemade pies, cakes,
wedding cakes, fudge, donuts and
baked beans from her home.
Jackie was a member of St. Theresa’s Parish in Henniker for 80 years. She
was a member of the Lake Sunapee Grange, a volunteer for the Bradford Rescue
Squad, and a Supervisor of the Checklist for the town of Bradford. She took
in, cared for and loved numerous foster babies through
NH Catholic Charities.
Jackie enjoyed cooking, baking, knitting, braiding rugs, and ceramics. She
was deeply devoted to her family, especially her cherished grandchildren and
great-granddaughter. Jackie will be profoundly missed by her husband and the
family they created together.
She leaves her beloved husband of 60 years, Richard “Dick” MacLeod of
Bradford, whom she married in the summer of 1949. She leaves her children,
Richard P. MacLeod, Jr. of Henniker and his children, Richard P. MacLeod,
III, of Bradford, and Jaime MacLeod of Thompson’s Station, TN; her son,

Shayla and Seamus MacLeod; and her daughter, Maryanne Hanorah Catherine
MacLeod, her spouse, Lorraine, of Bradford, and their family, Daniel

great-granddaughter, Samantha Catherine MacLeod, 3, of Bradford, NH. She is
survived by a brother, Francis Fisher, and his wife, Pat, of Evergreen, CO.
She was pre-deceased by her two brothers, Thomas “Eddy” Fisher, and Charles”
Buddy” Fisher. She leaves many nieces, nephews and cousins, as well as dear
friends and neighbors. Finally, she leaves behind her beloved dogs, Max and
