Centralia teacher Cavaletto laid to rest after service
The Centralia community mourns first grade teacher Cavaletto as her funeral ends and a fire engine led her funeral procession through town. She lived in this small town with her husband firefighter John and their two children. Friends recall her as calm and devoted, returning to school late to earn a master’s degree and dedicating weekends to prepare her Jordan School classroom.
