Kaitlyn LaDuke of Lawrence, MA, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on November 1st, 2018. Born in Lawrence, MA to Shawn LaDuke and Christine Murphy, Kaitlyn spent the majority of her life in Massachusetts and New Hampshire with her family.
Kaitlyn will be remembered by all whose lives she touched as a vibrant and creative soul who had a thirst for living life her way. She had a strong will and even stronger convictions, and was never known to back down from a challenge, especially in defense of what she believed. She was unbelievably creative, and loved music, dance, painting, and anything through which she could express herself. Above all, Kaitlyn loved her family fiercely, sometimes too fiercely, but always fought hard and loved harder. Her family will remember her as a loyal sister to her siblings, and daughter to her parents. Finally, Kaitlyn was an unbelievably loving mother to her 3 greatest achievements; her children Brayden, Amaya and Izabella.
She is survived by her loving family; Mother and Father Christine & David Murphy, Father and Mother Shawn and Patricia LaDuke; Son Brayden Marchetti; Daughters Amaya and Izabella Marchetti; Sisters Allison LaDuke, Rebecca Murphy & Kelsey LaDuke; Brother Shawn LaDuke; Cousin Lisette Sirois; Grandmother Norinne "Grammy" Sirois; Grandparents Frank "Papa" & Fran "Nana" Cartolaro; Uncles Ed LaDuke & Kenny, James & Jonathan Sirois; Nephew Joshua Duford; and many other extended friends and family.
