Chesterville, ME - Dorothy "Dot" J. Titcomb, age 93, passed away peacefully with loved ones in her home, as was her wish, on March 26, 2023.
Dot was born in Farmington, Maine to Merton and Helen Comstock. She graduated from Farmington High School, Class of 1947.
In 1948 she married Harold L. Judkins and while raising their 2 children she was a homemaker and employee of G. H. Bass for a few years. After their divorce, Dot's interests included outdoor activities and in the early 1980's she became a Registered Maine Guide. Dot was well-known for her fly-tying abilities and enjoyed guiding clients on fishing adventures. She was an excellent cook and spent many days cooking delicious made-from-scratch meals and deserts for her family, friends and clients. An avid hunter, she happily hunted partridge and deer while crafting stained glass pieces of artwork in her spare time. Her fondest memories were created in the great Maine woods while camping with family, snowmobiling, 4-wheeling, fishing, ice fishing, hunting and trapping.
In 2001, she married Raymond Titcomb with whom she spent hours fishing and hunting in Chesterville and Rockwood, Maine. They wintered in Florida where they enjoyed exploring the swamps and wetlands by canoe.
