Lynette Clifford Obituary

NARRAGANSETT, RI Lynette Lorena Loftes Clifford (1946-2025) lived her life in Narragansett, Rhode Island. She descended from the Adamson family on her mom's side and the Loftes family on her dad's side, combining an old New England family with Swedish immigrants. Married to Don Clifford for 60 years, she built her life enjoying nature, flying, making friends, and her church. She taught science in the Warwick Public School system and received the Presidential Award for her teaching innovation, then volunteered at Casey Farm in Saunderstown. Recently, she moved to San Luis Obispo, California to be close to family. She will be missed by her son Dale, daughter-in-law Kelle, and grandchildren Eli and Mia, friends and family.

In lieu of flowers, please look at the night sky with someone you love and make a donation to Casey Farm in Saunderstown, RI.
