CLARA PAWLIKOWSKI

CLARA PAWLIKOWSKI (nee Slowinski), age 96, went to be with the Lord on July 11th. Her love of cooking and baking led her to a long-time career as a head cook at both Lower and Upper Hawken School, as well as catering private parties. Visitors never left her home with empty stomachs. In addition to her partents, Andrew and Elizabeth, Clara was preceded in death by her husband Joseph, 51 years ago, sisters Josephine Hampton-Kolonick and Adeline Tuokey, brother James (Anne.) She will be greatly missed by her 2 daughters, Barbara Hartman (Earl, deceased) and Pegi Pyles (Elwin B.), grandsons Eric H., Chip P. (Sabrina L.), Jason P. (Gina), 6 great grandchildren and her beloved cat, Tabby.
