Neil Wolcott Obituary

Neil P. Wolcott, 65, of South Kendall Avenue passed away at home Wednesday (March 25, 2026), surrounded by his family.
Born Feb. 21, 1961, in Bradford, he was a son of the late Robert F. and Hazel M. Pollock Wolcott. He was a 1979 graduate of Bradford High School.
On Oct. 5, 1985, at Asbury United Methodist Church, he married Anita Davis Wolcott.

Neil enjoyed planting and raising produce, canning hot peppers and making salsa, gardening and working in his yard. He was an avid fan, supporter and annually traveled to see the Pittsburgh Pirates, Pittsburgh Steelers and Pittsburgh Penguins. He was a member of the Bradford Eagles Club, and the Moose Lodge, and he enjoyed going to see his friends at the casino. He was a former member of the Monday and Thursday Night Bowling Leagues.
