June Linda (Arns) Clavette

June L. (Arns) Clavette, 68, of North Attleboro, died peacefully on Saturday, September 19, 2020 at her residence.  She was the beloved wife of Edmund J. Clavette to whom she was married on June 8, 1974.
Born in Attleboro, MA on June 17, 1952, she was a daughter of the late August Arns, Sr. and the late Esther (Weiss) Arns.  She was raised and educated in North Attleboro and was a 1970 graduate of North Attleboro High School.  She earned her Bachelor of Arts in History from Bridgewater State University.
Mrs. Clavette worked as a special needs teacher's aide at the Hyman Fine Elementary School and Brennan Middle School both in Attleboro.  She retired in 2015 after 13 years of service.  Prior to teaching, June worked at the Stop & Shop in North Attleboro, in a variety of roles, for 21 "Fun Filled" years (as she would say).
June was known for her sense of humor and response when asked how she was doing.  She would always reply, "Ugly, Mean and Nasty!", which really meant that June was okay because that was one of her favorite ways to describe herself.  But even though June could claim to be "Ugly, Mean, and Nasty!" on the outside sometimes, she always had a heart of gold on the inside.
She attended the First Congregational "Oldtown" Church U.C.C. of North Attleborough for many years.  She sang in the church choir and was an active volunteer particularly with the church suppers, collations, yard sales and coffeehouses.  June loved animals having grown up on a farm with her horses and a donkey named "Lucky".  She enjoyed camping, the ocean, scuba diving, singing, music with her children, her pets, crafting and Yard Sailing with her friends and husband.  She claimed to able to "smell out silver-plate flatware anywhere" to support Ed's crafting projects.
Music was a focal point of her and her family.  She was active for many years with the North Attleboro High School Friends of Music Association and was well-known for co-hosting, along with her husband, the annual Thanksgiving Day breakfast for the marching band and color guard.  She was a member of The Williams Chorale, as an alto singer, for 10 years.
She and her family treasured the times camping at Camp Dennen in Plymouth for many years.
Above all else, June will be remembered for being a devoted wife, mother and grandmother and for her heart of gold.
In addition to her husband of 46 years, she leaves her two children: Alan Thomas Clavette of Pawtucket, RI and Katherine "Kait" Rose Clavette of North Attleboro; two grandchildren: Harrison and Maverick;  a sister: Alma Blanchard of Attleboro; a brother: Herman Arns of North Attleboro and several nieces, nephews, extended family members and dear friends.  She was the sister of the late Alice Belville and the late August Arns, Jr.
