Leslie Caldwell-Clarke

March 14, 2023 By Egan Funeral Home 14 Condolences

Caldwell Clark Web

The death of a star is called a supernova. When this powerful event occurs, vast landscapes of bright light are emitted displaying the pent-up energy, warmth, and brilliance held within. On Friday, March 10th, 2023 at 4:48pm, we experienced one here on earth with the passing of Leslie Caldwell-Clarke at the age of 61 after a courageous battle with ovarian cancer.  Born on March 25th, 1961, in Orillia, Ontario to Tom and Sally Caldwell she embarked on a joyous childhood alongside her brother, Tommy. Leslie attended the University of Toronto for post secondary education, and at the age of 22 she married Paul Clarke with whom she had four children, Brett, Bryn, Martin, and Shelby. Leslie settled in Bolton, Ontario in 2001 where she raised her kids and built a career in entrepreneurship and marketing. In 2012 she married Michael Berend and became a beloved member of the Berend family.  Leslie was creative, energetic, and always looking to lend a helping hand. She loved anything that sparkled, being in water, and the sound of laughter. She led her life with kindness and was known to be an involved community member, supportive friend, spunky glamma, and deeply loving mother. Her absence will be felt by many and although her warm light may have dimmed, she has left behind a beautiful masterpiece through the life she has lived. A celebration of life will take place this coming weekend to commemorate the wonderful person she was and the impact she has had on all of us.

Visitation services will be at Egan Funeral Home on Friday, March 17th from 5-8pm, and the funeral will take place on Saturday morning, March 18th at 11am.

    Leslie’s smile and infectious laugh would light up any room (even a dental operatory room!) The sound of her signature tinkling bracelets was like the sounds of angels’ wings..and now she will be with them.

    Wishing peace to all who knew her and loved her for the spirit she was.
