Jennifer Otis Hitchcock, of Concord, died peacefully at Care Dimensions Hospice House in Lincoln on Saturday evening, October 15, 2022. She was 76.

She was born in Concord on November 19, 1945 to her late parents, William and Alice (Miriam) Otis.  She was raised in Boston's Beacon Hill and Cambridge, attending Brimmer May and Belmont High School.  Later, she studied music at George Mason University.

After marrying, she lived her early years as a newlywed in Acton, MA, then Arlington, VA and eventually back to Massachusetts where she raised her two children in Belmont.  Once her children were grown, she lived briefly in Sandwich and Lincoln, before settling in Concord for the remainder of her life. Prior to retirement, Jennifer was a Paralegal.

A talented Pianist, she adored music and was classically trained.  She also loved gardening, cooking, knitting and sewing.  Spending time and loving her two children ultimately brought her the most joy.  She was an animal lover who cared for four dogs on her own.  She lived simply and authentically.
