Caitlin A. Cheslawski

On December 1, 2018, Caitlin Anne Clarke-Cheslawski set-out on life’s final trial. Her journey began March 18, 1984 in Hanover, NH, where she was born the daughter of Arnold and Lisa (Bergeron) Clarke, Jr. She was a 2002 graduate of Christian Heritage and went on to earn a Certification as a Licensed Nurse’s Assistant. She worked for Brattleboro Memorial Hospital, the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic and was a Certified Doula. Nothing brought her greater joy than helping Mom’s to be during their labor and delivery: she was honored to be present for the births of all of her nieces and nephews.

If it had wheels or tracks and could go through snow or mud, Caitlin loved to ride it: snowmobiles, ATV’s and jeeps were her favorite. When she wasn’t surrounded by the joy of nature, she was more than happy to go shopping. Purple was her color of choice: in everything from cloths to accessories and even hair color. Caitlin had a very compassionate and free-spirited nature.

She is survived by her parents: Lisa Barrett and her husband Jeff of Winchester, Arnold E. Clarke, Jr. and his wife Sue of Brattleboro, paternal grandparents: Walter and Karen Roberts of Brattleboro, brothers: Arnold E. Clarke III and his wife Lori of Vernon, Adam J. Clarke and his wife Dawn of Bellows Falls, Jeffrey Barrett and his wife Corina of Florence, MA, Justin Barrett of CA and Jordan Barrett of Keene, sisters: Kimberly Clarke of Brattleboro, Elizabeth “Lizzie” Clarke of Brattleboro and Jessica Miller and her husband James of Coleraine, MA, and several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and extended family members. She is also survived by her boyfriend: Jason Johnson. In addition to all of the family that she leaves, there are a multitude of friends which she cherished: perhaps the greatest of these is the bonds of love and friendship that she shared with the Cheslawski family. She is predeceased by her maternal grandparents: Roland and Bertha Bergeron.

A Celebration of Caitlin’s life will be held on Saturday, December 8, 2018 at the Foley Funeral Home, 49 Court St. Keene, NH. Family and friends are invited to call on the family from 11am to 12pm and there will be a Memorial Service at 12pm. Rev. Mr. Kenneth J. Swymer will officiate. Those who attend the services are asked to wear purple in honor of Caitlin’s favorite color. Caitlin’s family will have a private burial in the Spring in St. Joseph Cemetery, Main St. Keene, NH.

In Caitlin’s memory a fund has been established to help her family as they move forward with final expenses. Contributions may be made to TD Bank, 194 West St, Keene, NH. 03431 c/o Lisa Barrett.
