FREEDOM \emdash On Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2023, Roger Allen Littlefield of Freedom, a loving husband and father of four, passed away at age 70.
Born March 5, 1952, Roger graduated from Mount View High School in 1970 and married the love of his life, Edie (Bryant) in 1971. Together, they raised four children. A hardworking, charismatic and traditional family man, he spent his life building their space in the woods they call home. He worked many challenging professions from farming and wood cutting to mail delivery and gravel construction, none of which were more important to him than the family growing around him.
He is best known for his quick-witted humor, affectionate nature, and being a first-rate story teller. Anyone meeting him for the first time was generally met with a gruff exterior but everyone knew he was a big sweetheart.
The grandkids were especially fond of his quips \emdash many, like "Eat your vegetables; it'll put hair on your chest." Or "You can't go swimming because the water's wet." Anyone newly introduced to him was met with intentional wrong name calling in an attempt to be funny. Roger would often get his wife going with subtle jokes, in a way that the kids would see her reacting back; later, everyone would find humor in the resulting attitude Edie would have. These are the ways Roger would laugh, play, and love his family.
He adored his wife and family; so many stories can be shared in ways everyone saw and felt his love. He leaves behind Edie his wife of nearly 52 years; his four children and their spouses/partners, Rachel, Ronnie, Emily and Gwen; nine grandchildren and their spouses/partners, Alia, Caleb, Dominick, Aryn, Russell, Josh, Brandon, Johnny and Briana; and three great-grandchildren, Paisley, Audree and Diana.
Roger also leaves behind brothers Earl and Terry, and sisters Donna and Dianne; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins; and extended family. He was predeceased by his mother, Lois Bean, father John Littlefield Sr., and brother John Littlefield Jr.
A celebration of life will be held Sunday, March 5, at Freedom Congregational Church, 45 Pleasant St., from 2 to 6 p.m. Roger will be buried in Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Freedom, in the spring.
