It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Margaret “Clare” Connolly (Westcott), on October 3rd, 2015, at the Palliative Care in Hudson. She never gave up her valiant fight with cancer. As Ma would say “Giving up is not in my vocabulary.”
Margaret “Clare” Connolly: Mother of Anna Maria (Michel Villeneuve), Cathy (Donald Hollington), Liam (Yaneth Rincon) and Charlie (Bernadette Serafini). Grandmother of Louis Philippe, Connor, Shane, Shawnna, Adrianne, Katelyn, Maxwell, Karen Lorena, Liam Og, Kevin Rua, Alessandra and Deaglan. Survived by her brother Leo Connolly and Sister Catherine “Vera” Connolly. Aunt to many abroad and friend to countless others near and far.
Friends may visit with the family on Thursday, October 8, 2015 at 1 p.m. at St-Thomas Aquinas Church in Hudson. A funeral mass will be celebrated at 2 p.m.
Very special thanks to all of the Doctors, nurses and volunteers at the Palliative Care Unit in Hudson that made Clare’s stay as well as her family’s so comfortable and full of respect & dignity.
In lieu of flowers we request that donations be made to the Hudson Palliative Care Unit so that other families may also benefit from the beautiful experience that we were so fortunate to have had.
