Gerald W. MacPherson, Sr., 84, of South Berwick, passed away peacefully on Thursday, November 20, 2025, at the Langdon Center in Dover, New Hampshire after a long illness.
Born on July 22, 1941, in Lynn, MA, Gerald was the son of the late Roderick and Doris (Walker) MacPherson. He worked for Rockingham Electric for 50 years, retiring as the company's Credit Manager.
Gerald married his beloved wife, Donna, in 1965, and together they raised two sons in South Berwick.

He was a member of the St. John's Masonic Lodge, a Shriner in Lewiston, a member of the South Berwick Town Council, active in the Grange in both Lebanon and Eliot, a proud member of the Rotary Club, and part of the Rollinsford American Legion. He was also actively involved with the interests of his children, including Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Band Parents, Football Boosters, and more.
Left to cherish his memory are his sons, Jerry MacPherson and his wife, Amy, of Sanford, and Wayne MacPherson and his wife, Tammy, of South Berwick; his grandchildren, Amanda Henrie, Lauren Woodman, Julie Danforth, Shelby MacPherson, and Cassie Curtis; and his great-grandchildren, Phineas, Maddison, Rylee, and Willow.
He is predeceased by his parents and his siblings: Roderick MacPherson, Norman MacPherson, June Lopez, and Ernie Chamberlain.
