Clare Moffitt Obituary
1949 - 2025
MARBLEHEAD - Clare Moffitt, 75, of Marblehead, passed away peacefully at home on June 30.
Born November 11, 1949 in Surrey England, Clare brought warmth into every room she entered. She dedicated nearly 40 years of her life to her work at the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts, where she built lasting relationships and a legacy of compassion and dedication.
Clare loved the theater, traveling, reading, and connected with people from all walks of life. She was a gifted artist and could quickly complete any puzzle. A dedicated wife and mother who is remembered for her kindness, calm presence, and open mindedness. A breast cancer survivor, Clare lived her life with quiet strength and resilience.
She is survived by her beloved husband of 39 years, Richard; her daughter, Sarah, son-in-law Nicholas and grandsons, Theodore and Desmond. She also leaves behind her sister, Rosemary-Ann, brother, Peter and numerous other family members who will sadly miss her. She is pre-deceased by her parents and brother Henry.

I am very saddened by the news of the death of my friend and neighbor, Clare. I have known the Moffitts since I moved into their neighborhood over 35 years ago. Clare lived her life with dignity, kindness and devotion to her family. I never saw her without her beautiful smile, a smile that came easy to her face. I want her family to know that I care...she was quite a gal!!
