Karla J. Cloutier

Well, hello there, I'm Karla Cloutier, also known to many as Ma, Mamma, Mamma Dukes, KayKay, and MiMi. I've always been a thrill-seeker, I've embarked on my final adventure on March 19, 2025. I was born in the humble town of Gardner, MA on June 23, 1968, and I've called Winchendon, Massachusetts my home. I've lived a resilient life, full of twists and turns, and I've done it all with a supportive heart and loving nature.

I've always been a bit of a jack-of-all-trades. After I graduated from Murdock High School, I earned an associate's degree in Accounting. But the call of the barber's chair was too strong to resist, and I became a Master Barber, serving the good folks at Dick's Place until I retired. When I wasn't wielding a pair of clippers, you could find me lost in a good book, tending to my garden, or out in the wild, with my toes in the sand swimming, riding motorcycles, or watching a good game of football. But of all the things I loved, family mattered most to me.

I leave behind my three treasures, Scott, Jaclyn, and Amber Cloutier, my children who have always been the apple of my eye. I'm survived by my mother, Nancy Gordon as well as my little brother David M Gordon. My two wonderful grandchildren, Anthony and Kaliiya Burdell. My father, Richard Gordon, and my sisters, Leann Marie Gordon, Laura Gordon, started this journey before me, and I'm sure they're waiting for me with open arms.

Come celebrate my life and share your memories of me at the Stone-Ladeau Funeral Home, 343 Central St., Winchendon, on Thursday, March 27, 2025 from 5:00-8:00pm. The funeral service will be held on Friday, March 28, 2025 at 11:00am at the same location, followed by the burial at Riverside Cemetery, 38 Glenallen Street, Winchendon, Massachusetts, 01475.

I encourage you all to share your memories and upload photos of our times together on my memorial page. It's been a wild ride, and I'm thankful for every moment.
