Barbara (Clark) Poulin, 78, passed away on Sunday, May 4, 2025, surrounded by loving family. Born in Putnam, on May 9, 1946, she was the daughter of Leroy Clark and Cecilia Clark.
Barbara was a beloved and compassionate mother, memere, sister, aunt, and friend who left a positive impact on everyone she met. She was a kind soul who was always quick to help others in need.

Cardinals, Elvis Presley, reading, and flowers always held a special place in Barbara’s heart. She loved warm weather and liked to set up her chair outside with a book to enjoy the comfort of the sun. During the warmer months she also liked to garden. Barbara enjoyed spending time with family and friends, always making fond memories by playing her board and card games with everyone.
