Colleen Bavosa

Thinking of you today, Colleen, on your birthday. The world was blessed to have had you for 53 years. Now the angels will celebrate with you on this day each year. I miss you, my doctor and friend.

I just learned of Colleen's passing yesterday. She was my Doctor for years and then my insurance changed. She was the best Doctor I ever had. She will be greatly missed. She always treated me so nice and was very understanding. I am so very sorry. Greg H

I just recently learned of Dr. Cleary's passing and wanted to express my heartfelt sympathy to her family. She had been my personal physician for many years and I was deeply saddened when she had retired due to illness. I will always credit her with saving my life after sending me for a simple test which revealed an unknown cardiac problem. As I also work in the medical community in RI, I can tell you that her passing has also left a gap in our professional community. She is missed.

And so it was with Colleen.

I am deeply saddened to have just learned of Colleen's passing. As my physician for more than fifteen years, Colleen made a great impact on my life. Her expertise, compassion and straight forward manner made her the most wonderful doctor I have ever had. I will always remember her booming voice and great laugh.
Colleen loved Block Island, vacationing here several times. We would often talk of the island's beauty and what it is like to live here. She even wondered what it might be like to have a practice here.
My sincerest condolences to Anthony and the Cleary family. May you find peace in knowing that Colleen was well respected and loved by all. I will miss her terribly.
As I gaze daily at this beautiful island that I call home, I will think of Colleen and know that she is watching over us. God Bless.

So sorry for your loss, I was one of her first patients in Pawtucket. She was a great person. May You rest in Peace. God Bless

The Shlevins (Arthur, Irene, Amy-Beth) want to offer our condolances to the Bavosa/Cleary family on the passing of a dear friend and doctor to our family. She was a remarkable person who always gave of her time no matter the time of day or problem. There is no one who can take her place and she will be dearly missed.

Colleen was our family doctor for a number of years. She always had a way of making you feel as if you were her only patient. She was there for me when my husband passed away at a very young age, and helped me through that difficult time. Her family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I first met Colleen at CSM. My 1st yr there we were co-counsellors in cabin morsch. The thing I like the most about her was her laugh!! She found the positive in everything. Colleen was a true blessing to everyone who met her and had the privilege of being her friend. Yes, she will be greatly missed, but as she would most likely tell us...even in my death you will always have my unending love for you! Our Lord has called to him his angel!

Dear Tony,Mark,Mary Pat,Peter , Amy,jimmy,and Kathy,

I have only fond memories of all of us on Branch and Warren Avenue. Colleen was a great and wonderful person who taught me a lot about growing up. It's funny because I had really started to think about our whole gang lately, and the life's lessons we had unknowingly taught each other. I will miss her greatly and look forward to meeting up with her again in the future. I'm sure she is looking down on you guys and watching out for you all.
