James E. Talbot

Spencer – James E. Talbot, 93, of Spencer, died early Friday morning, August 29, 2025, while a resident in the Odd Fellows Home in Worcester.

He leaves four sons, James E. Talbot, Jr. and his wife Karen of Spencer, Daniel, Robert, and David Talbot and their families. He was predeceased by his wife of 57 years, Velma L. (McNeaney) Talbot in 2009 and his brother Richard J. Talbot in 2015. He was born in Worcester, son of the late Richard T. and Rosana (Pelletier) Talbot and was a long-time resident of Spencer.

Mr. Talbot is a United States Navy Veteran, serving from 1950 to 1953 on the USS Lamoille River support ship.

Jim worked as a steam boiler operator at the former Johnson Steel & Wire Co. in Worcester for several years. He later worked as an operator at the former Cranston Print Works in Webster. Jim enjoyed hunting and fishing – and had better luck with fishing than ever getting a deer.

At his request, services for Jim will be held privately with burial in Worcester County Memorial Park. Varnum Funeral Home is assisting his family with his final care. An online tribute page is available at varnumfuneralhome.com
