Barbara Claflin Obituary

With heavy hearts, we announce the death of Barbara Claflin (Vergennes, Vermont), who passed away on September 9, 2018 at the age of 57. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Barbara Claflin to pay them a last tribute.

They finished the race together and Barb proudly announced, "I won!" and beamed when she stood and received her ribbon." That's just who Barb was. She is predeceased by both of her parents, Grace Lawrence and Sidney Claflin Jr., and her younger brother William (Billy) Claflin. She is survived by a large and loving family: Elizabeth Wheeler and her husband John of Wilmington; Lela Sisk and her husband Ray of Hope, Maine; Dawn Ridolfo and her husband Christopher of Burlington; Sidney Claflin III and his wife Michelle of North Ferrisburgh; along with several nieces, nephews, and cousins: Nancy, Will, Joshua, Josid, Jesse, Hilary, Hannah, Arianna, Ethan Sage, Perrin, Ethan Claflin, and friend Barbara. A special thank you to Howard Community Services and VNA Day program for their support. A graveside service will be held in the North Ferrisburgh Cemetery on Saturday, September 15th at 1:30pm. Followed by a reception at the North Ferrisburgh Methodist Church. In lieu of flowers please make donations to the William L. Claflin Memorial Scholarship Fund by contacting Bill VanDeWeert at Vergennes Union High School.
