Joseph Prichett

Joseph D. Prichett, age 91, of Redgranite and formerly of Oshkosh and Green Bay, passed away June 16, 2022 at ThedaCare Regional Medical Center in Neenah. The son of the late George and Alice (Taylor) Prickett was born as the ninth of ten children on April 22, 1931, and was the last surviving child. He attended St. Peter Grade School in Oshkosh, Oshkosh High School, University of Wisconsin-Madison, among others. He served his country in the U.S. Army from 1951-1954 and maintained a private practice as a clinical psychologist. Joe enjoyed reading, writing, spending time with family, and bird watching – he always had bird feeders wherever he lived and got great enjoyment from that.

Surviving are his children: Stephanie (Tom) Gandia, Gail (Tom) Savage and Gregory (Becky) Prichett; son-in-law Gary Widner; grandchildren: Scott Widner, Steven (Ashley) Widner, Matthew Savage, Katie Betz, Emily (Zach) Siegmeier and Issac (Stephanie) Prichett; great-grandchildren: Halia, Jordan and Sullivan.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his daughter Mary Widner; the mother of his children, Joyce E. Prichett; siblings: George Prickett, Mary Putzer, Ann Nipko, James Prickett, William Prickett, Phillip Price, Henry Prickett, Arietta Prickett and Sister Alisa Prickett.

Services will be held later. Cotter Funeral and Cremation Care is assisting the family.

Our family wishes to extend our gratitude to the caregivers at ThedaCare for taking good care of Joe.
