Obituary

Catherine M. (Mariani) Clark passed away on March 25, 2021 at the age of 97 at the Rose Monahan Hospice Home in Worcester. She was the wife of the late Robert R. Clark. A lifelong resident of Walpole, she was the daughter of the late Alphonso and Berardina (Grossi) Mariani.

In addition to being a devoted homemaker, she was a dedicated employee of Kendall Mills and the Walpole Cooperative Bank for many years. She enjoyed cooking and watching cooking shows, solving jigsaw and word puzzles, observing nature, and spending time with family. She was the cornerstone of the extended Mariani clan of siblings, nieces, and nephews, always available to provide guidance and comfort, or simply to lend an ear, an opinion, or a recipe.

She leaves behind her daughter Deborah and her husband Michael of Walpole, her daughter Ann and her husband William of Florida, and her son David of Walpole.

Catherine was the sister of Connie Salamone of Needham, Lucy Fay of Walpole, Joseph Mariani of Arizona, Jean McCarthy of Florida, and David Mariani of Walpole, and the late Angie Capone, Adeline Barrett, Josephine Schulz, Theresa Clark, and Annie Manty.

She is also survived by her grandchildren Sarah, Brian and his wife Julie, Rachel and her husband David, Christopher and his wife Christina, Michael, Andrew and his wife Breanna, Kerry and her husband Christopher, and her great-grandchildren Abigail, Devin, Ezra, Asher, and two more on the way.
