ROCHESTER - Maria M Caplette, 99, died peacefully on Tuesday, Nov. 12, 2024, at her home of 72 years in Rochester.
Maria was born July 22, 1925, in Pocking, Germany and was the daughter of Josef Frankenberger and Teresa (Wagner) Frankenberger.
Maria was a top Avon sales agent, a position she held with pride for over 50 years. Maria's success in Avon was not just measured in sales, but in the lasting friendships she built along the way. In her free time, Maria found joy in tending to her garden and spending time with her family, activities that brought her peace and fulfillment.
Maria is survived by her daughter, Erika Clawson, of Rochester; her sister, Helga Mayerhofer, of Germany; and her two grandsons, Nick and Chase Clawson, of Rochester; and by nieces and nephews in Maine, New Hampshire and Germany.
Maria is predeceased by her husband, Wilfred Caplette; and her three children, Robert Caplette, Michael Caplette and Lorraine Caplette-Hill.
