Caitlyn Despres

Caitlyn Dawn Despres, 24, of Worcester passed away unexpectedly. Caitlyn was a 2022 graduate of Worcester State college and achieved her goal of getting her degree in her dream field, criminal justice. She had a double minor in Forensic Science and Education Studies. Her plan was to work in 911 dispatch and eventually become an EMT. She passed suddenly on July 24th, just a mere 2 months after graduation, never having fulfilled the goal of getting her dream job. Caitlyn was a kind yet outspoken, young woman who loved helping her community. She was overjoyed to be involved in running the COVID Clinic at Worcester State University with over 86 hours invested in the project. She was a big supporter of her peers and never stopped cheering others on to reach their goals and personal growth as she strived for her own. She enjoyed donating to various causes close to her heart such as Thea's food pantry and worked with the Massachusetts Nonprofit Network which works towards creating the best possible environment for nonprofits through their work in advocacy, building public awareness, capacity building and resource development. She will be missed by all who knew her and forgotten by none. Her time with us was not long enough but we know that she will live on with those who loved her and continue to celebrate her beautiful spirit. Caitlyn is survived by her parents, Richard and Lori (Pellerin) Despres and her brother, Richard, all of Worcester. She leaves many aunts, uncles, cousins, a grandmother, and many friends who loved her. There are no calling hours or services scheduled at this time. Express condolences and your best memories below for those who loved her to continue to learn about her and reminisce in those moments.
