Theadora “Chickie” W. Macie passed away peacefully on January 7, 2023. Theadora was born on May 15, 1945, in St. Johnsbury, VT to the late Dorothea (Coleman) and Thaddeus W. Holcomb. She completed her schooling locally, graduating from Brattleboro High School in 1964. It was during high school where she fell in love with Chester “Chet” A. Macie, and they were married on April 3, 1965. Their marriage lasted 51 years until Chet passed away on August 11, 2016.

In her free time, Chickie liked to crochet and sew for her family, and anyone who knew her, knew about her famous donuts. She also enjoyed decorating around the yard and house for the holidays.

In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made in Chickie’s honor to the American Cancer Society.
