NAUGATUCK — Mildred D. (Wooster Caulfield) Clark, 97, passed away peacefully at Glendale Health Center on Saturday June 17, 2017 surrounded by her family.

Mildred positively touched the lives of everyone she met-be it family, friends, or strangers alike. Mildred was a caring and selfless individual who quietly helped anyone she could. She was a lifelong member of the United Methodist Church in Waterbury where she sang for many years in the parish choir and was a devoted member of the UMC of Waterbury Women’s Group. Mildred also enjoyed gardening and crocheting, but most of all, she enjoyed spending time with her friends and family.
Mildred lived 97 years with faith, kindness, generosity and optimism. She will be greatly missed by all, but comfort is found in knowing she has been reunited with loved ones who have passed, especially her twin and best friend, Millicent Breen.
