Clarke, Judith "Judi"

Mrs. Judith A. "Judi" (McAlpine) Clarke, of Hanover, died at home on Friday, March 19, 2021 following a long and courageous battle with cancer. She was 61 years old.

Judi was born in Stoneham on June 5, 1959 to Janet (Ohnemus) McAlpine and the late Richard McAlpine. She moved to Waltham with her family when she was in grade school and was a 1977 graduate of Waltham High School.

She had worked for many years as a secretary at the McDevitt Middle School and later for the Waltham Superintendent of Schools.

Judi will be forever remembered for her dessert baking prowess, her gift wrapping abilities, her meticulous home decorating skills and her immense love of Market Basket!
