WATERTOWN - Pauline (Vaillancourt) Clark, age 91, of Watertown, passed away peacefully at Apple Rehabilitation, on Monday, September 9, 2024, surrounded by her loving family. She was the widow of John J. Clark Jr. 

Pauline was born on November 16, 1932 in Eagle Lake, Maine. She moved with her family to Watertown in her early years of life. Pauline worked as an assembler for various factories while she raised her 3 children. She had an opportunity to go back to school, then worked as a pastry chef as well, making delicious cookies and cakes. Pauline volunteered in the schools which her children attended along with assisting in Girl Scouts. In her spare time, she loved to travel, was an avid bowler, enjoyed a game of bingo and of course creating various crafts. Our family thanks you Mom for all your hard work and efforts of raising 3 wonderful children, giving us the best life possible as you did for many years with the passing of our father when we were teenagers. Pauline will be deeply missed by all those who were blessed to love and know her. 

Left to honor her legacy and cherish her memory are her 3 children; Diane Lynn Porter and her husband James, John J. Clark III, and his wife Jennifer, and Linda DiVito and her husband Salvatore. Pauline leaves her beloved grandchildren Brian Cloney, Jennifer Hemstreet, Jaime Fillie, Rebecca Peterson, Jessica Orsatti, and Justin Clark, 10 great grandchildren, her Aunt Evelyn, longtime companion, William Zubik, along with extended family and friends.
