BRUNSWICK — Mary K. “Molly” Pitcher passed away peacefully at home on March 19, 2018 with her son, Stan by her side. She was born in Westminster, Vermont on September 23, 1924, the daughter of John and Geraldine Blake.

Molly lived a long and interesting life. She was a dancer with the Radio City Music Hall Rockettes, on Ed Sullivan’s Toast of the Town show and as a June Taylor Dancer on the Jackie Gleason Show. She owned and operated a furniture factory in Vermont before moving to Maine and working at the Maine Legislature as part of Senator Gerard Conley’s staff, as the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms and as a Committee Clerk for the Labor Committee.

An active Democrat, she marched in the civil rights movement with Caesar Chavez, attended the 1960 Democratic National Convention as a Kennedy delegate and worked on Democratic campaigns, including those of her son, the Honorable Stanley J. Gerzofsky.

Molly is survived by her son, Stan Gerzofsky of Brunswick, as well as grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and many dear friends. She was pre-deceased by her daughter, Bonnie Scanlin of San Gabriel, California and her husband, Thornton Pitcher of Brunswick.

At Molly’s request, there will be no service. Her remains will be laid to rest in the family burial plot in Vermont after a private family ceremony with her nephew, Father Peter Blake officiating.
