In Memoriam

Donna Radcliffe 1944-2023

As all our clients and friends know, Donna was the face, the voice, and the heart of our firm.  Her death was sudden following a short illness.  It is hard to imagine how the hole she has left in the firm and our hearts can be filled. We know that you, our clients, will miss her terribly, also.  She loved every minute of working with you and was always happy to see you all again each year. ❤

Obituary

Donna went on her next journey on June 23, 2023, surrounded by her loving family at her home in Marlboro, Vermont. She lived her life to its fullest up to her passing, enjoying every moment. She was an explorer of life, hardly ever saying no to an opportunity and a chance to see or learn something new.

She was the daughter of Everett and Priscilla (Cullinane) of Bellows Falls and Westminster, VT. She was raised in Westminster and was a Bellows Falls High School class of 1962 graduate, where she was both a basketball player and cheerleader. She married Richard Radcliffe of Marlboro VT, at the Westminster Congregational Church on January 31, 1964. They were in their 59th year of marriage. They made their home in Marlboro, where Donna focused on raising her two daughters (Tisha and Susie) and was their enthusiastic cheerleader at sports events and in life.

She started her career working for Arnold White and managed his Marlboro gift shop location for many years. In the second half of her life, she became a partner and office manager of Business and Tax Consultants, Inc. of Brattleboro. She loved her work, colleagues and clients and the word “retirement” was not in her vocabulary. Donna formed so many wonderful relationships and memories through her work that her family is grateful for.

Donna loved her pets and owned many dachshunds over the years. She and her husband were avid gardeners. Donna thoroughly enjoyed many trips throughout the years, especially those with her family, whether the train trips when her daughters were younger to Washington, D.C., or trips to Boston to see the Red Sox, Boston Ballet Nutcracker Suite, or to Montreal, Quebec City, and cruises to Mexico. She liked all kinds of music and enthusiastically attended concerts with family and friends. Happily, she achieved items on her bucket list – Graceland (huge Elvis fan), seeing Roy Orbison, Eagles, Emmylou Harris (3), Farm Aid, and more.

She is terribly missed, with her love continuing on in her survivors, husband – Richard, daughters – Tisha Radcliffe and husband Robert Michaels and Susie Radcliffe and husband Patrick Higgins, brother – Nelson Garland (Susan), sister-in-law – Jane McCormick, along with many nieces, nephews, and friends near and far.

When we all wish to see her again, we will look for her in the many cardinals, hummingbirds, pheasants, and other winged creatures who constantly visit her yard. We will look for the bears to come and say goodbye.
