CLARE THAW Obituary

THAW--Clare Eddy.

On June 29, 2017, died peacefully at her home in Cherry Valley, NY on her 93rd birthday. Together with her husband of 63 years, she established the Eugene V. and Clare E. Thaw Charitable Trust to support their shared appreciation of the Arts, the Environment, and for Clare especially, a lifelong devotion to Animal Rights. Clare's strong spirit and great humor live on and remain ever present in our thoughts.

Clare was such a bright and beautiful light in this world. Her compassion and heart were boundless, and she did so much to advance the cause of goodness. She and her vivacious spirit will be very missed. Love to her husband and family in this time of sadness.
