Jeffrey Powell Obituary
Jeff is survived by his daughters, Hennah Nicholas, Tara Powell, and Rebecca Powell; his stepdaughter, Sarah Doucette; his siblings; and his grandchildren, all of whom he loved deeply.
He will be remembered for his sharp sense of humor and the way he could make people laugh, even in serious moments.
A memorial service will be held at J. Verne Wood Funeral Home on February 16, 2026, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Family and friends are welcome to attend and share memories.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests potted plants or donations to the NHSPCA in his honor.
