Sadly, our beloved, Mary Alice (Tompkins) Cadoret passed away in her home on February 5th, 2025, after a quick decline in health due to her 101yrs of life.
Mary was born on September 29, 1923, to Ethel (Goodrich) and Trenner Tompkins in Tarpon Springs, Florida. Her family moved to Connecticut when she was a very young girl. In 1945 she married Harvey Cadoret. Mary was predeceased by her husband of 53 yrs, her parents, and her brothers John and Trenner. She is survived by her daughters: Linda Davison with husband Mark Davison and Susan Baker with husband Bob Baker, her grandchildren: Christine, Robbie and Gregory, her great grandchildren: Candace, Erin, Daniel, Emily and Rebecca, her great-great grandchildren: Christopher, Cameron, Caden, Cora and Avrie and many nieces and nephews.
Mary was a kind and loving mother and grandmother. She enjoyed chair caning, basket weaving, gardening and her daily walks to her ocean view in Old Saybrook CT until she was unable to live on her own. She spent her last 7 yrs with her daughter Linda and husband Mark along with the assistance of her family in Henniker NH. Her greatest joys were the love for all her gang (as she called us all) and all the time she got to spend with the little great-great grandbabies.
A graveside service will be held on Friday June 6th, 2025, at 11:30AM at the West Meadow Cemetery, 679 Willard Ave, Newington, CT to bury her ashes alongside her husband Harvey. The Cremation Society of NH is assisting the family with arrangements. To view an online memorial, leave a message of condolence, or for more information please visit www.csnh.com.
