Obituary

CAULFIELD, Bridget Ann (Folan) of Dedham, passed away peacefully on July 5, 2021, surrounded by her loving husband, children, and grandchildren after a long and courageous battle with cancer.

Bridget was the daughter of the late Michael and Minnie (Gleason) Folan of Inverin, Co. Galway, Ireland. Beloved wife of John Caulfield of 58 years; loving mother of John Caulfield and his wife, Laura of Lakewood, WA, Michael Caulfield and his wife Holli of Walpole, Julie Quinn and her husband Thomas of Walpole, Marie Caulfield of Charlestown, Jeanne O'Neil and her husband Kevin of Irving, TX, Kevin Caulfield and his wife Jennifer of Needham, and Steven Caulfield and his wife Michele of Walpole. Cherished grandmother to Clare, Michael, Nora, Caitlin, Patrick, Kevin, Jack, Bridget, Maggie, Whitney, Sam, Jack, Andrew, Emma, Sarah, and Ashley. Devoted great-grandmother to Connor and Rilynn.  Predeceased by her grandson Thomas. Devoted sister of Mary, Eileen, Noreen, and the late John, Michael, Patrick, Kathleen, and Theresa. Cherished aunt to many nieces and nephews where she was considered the “favorite aunt” by many of them.

Bridget was so proud of her family and loved all her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren deeply. She was so generous, never missed a special occasion, and always did her best to attend all their activities providing her love and support.

Faith was very important to her and she took great pride in being a CCD teacher at St. Mary’s Church. She was a member of the Irish Social Club where she found great joy in meeting up with friends and dancing with her husband. She was a beautiful dancer and the room would clear when she stepped out to the floor to dance with her husband. She loved to travel to Ireland to visit family, to her home in Naples, Florida, and to her summer home in North Falmouth. This passion for life, love and family created so many warm memories that will carry on as her legacy.

Bridget loved to shop and had a flare for fashion. She sparkled from head to toe both in personality and fashion. She was the life of the party always bringing joy and laughter to any occasion. Her radiant presence created a strong sense of fun energy. She lived a full and complete life, one that was full of love and happiness. Bridget was a strong woman right up to the end and she will be deeply missed.
