Katherine Holmes Camick

Perry and Norwood, MA – Katherine H. Camick, 87, died Saturday, August 12, 2006 at a Norwood, MA, hospital. Katherine was the daughter of the late Austin C. and Lola Humphries. She was the beloved wife of the late Nelson B. Camick of Eastport. Katherine was predeceased by her daughter, Suzanne, and her three brothers, Benjamin, Lewis, and Angus. She is survived by her loving son, Fred W. Bucklin of Norfolk, MA; her three adoring granddaughters, Michelle Victoria, Lisa Dalterio, and Suzanne Leslie; all of Mass.; her grandsons, Matthew Austin Bucklin of Boston, MA, and Adam Walter Bucklin of New Mexico; her sister, Evelyn Brown of Scarborough and Perry; five great-grandchildren, Danny Victoria of N. Attleboro-Michaela, Benjamin, Briana and “Katherine” Leslie (her little name sake), all of Needham, MA; her nephews, Austin and Robert Humphries; and her nieces, Lola Sen Gupta, Ellen Ross, and Betty Dyer. “Kaye” loved children and spent her life caring for them. She was the most wonderful of grandmothers – down on her hands and knees and perfectly willing to be “A Kid” kind of grandmother. She was an outstanding teacher in the Sharon, Mass. school system and was honored by a silver tray after twenty years of service. It should be noted that Kaye was devoted to her three granddaughters after the premature death of her daughter Suzanne, and after retirement from teaching, spent much of her time caring for them. Kaye was also very active in the Perry Congregational Church after she fulfilled her life-long dream to build a home back in Perry after so many years in Massachusetts. Kaye was President of the Women’s Association and a member of the choir of the church. Kaye and her husband, Nelson Camick, donated the choir robes to the Church a number of years ago.
