Joan Dumont Clark

On March 3, 2017 Joan Dumont Clark died peacefully at her home in Porter, ME. She was with her son Brian when she quietly took her last breaths. Over the past several years, Joan had been slowly taken by the disease of dementia, finally leaving us in body on a beautiful Friday afternoon, looking out over the hills behind her home. 

Joan was born on June 9,1936 in Marlborough, to Barbara and Raymond Dumont. She lived most of her early life in Southborough. She was 1954 graduate of the former Peters High School and attended Endicott College. Joan married and lived in North Carolina for several years before returning to Massachusetts where she lived and worked. After retiring from St Mark’s School a few years ago, she was able to realize her dream of retiring to Maine.

A talented painter and singer, she enjoyed accompanying others on the piano.  She sang in the choir at Pilgrim Church in Southborough and was involved in many aspects of the church community. Joan loved attending concerts, community theatre and spending time with her friends and family. 

She is survived by two sons, Raymond and his wife Tena of Burlington, NC; Brian and his partner Lea Cutter of Porter, ME; three grandchildren,  Nathan, Anya and Eva; her siblings Robert C Dumont and his wife Barbara of Sterling; sister Donna Wilson of Scarborough, ME, as well as a loving extended family of cousins, nephews and nieces. 

A memorial service to celebrate Joan’s life will be held at 11 am on Saturday, June 10 2017 at Pilgrim Church Common Street,  Southborough.

A living legacy of a memorial garden will be planted and tended at her property in Porter. Friends and family may donate to Joan’s memorial garden in lieu of flowers.
