Clare Tobin Obituary
It is with fond memories and saddened hearts that the family of Clare Margaret Tobin announces her passing at Mercy Healthcare Center in Tupper Lake, NY on Wednesday, June 25th.
Clair was born in Peekskill NY on August 24, 1947. She was the daughter of Harold L. Harriman and Elsie G. Gott.
She graduated from Northport High School in 1967. Clare lived at home with her parents until she married Albert Tobin on August 14, 1982. She was a homemaker and had several pets that were like children to her. She loved each one dearly and made sure they had the best life possible. Clare loved socializing, loved music and dancing, and loved to take photographs. She was the keeper of the family photo albums and over the years, added many of her own albums to the collection. She filled them with numerous pictures of her siblings, nieces and nephews, and all of her travels to visit her large family. She loved her husband dearly. Albert was with her just as she was leaving us. He still resides at Mercy Healthcare Center in Tupper Lake, NY.
Clare was predeceased by both of her parents, as well as three of her siblings, Harold Harriman Jr., William Harriman, and Nancy Curcio. Also predeceasing Clare were her nephew Adam Harriman and brother-in-law Frank Curcio. She is survived by two brothers Anthony (and wife Betty) Harriman of Washington, and George (and wife Maureen) Harriman of Tupper Lake, NY, as well as her sister-in-law Debbie Harriman. Clare also is survived by nieces Angel, Tina, Gina, Lindsay, Jennifer, Laura, and Katherine, as well as nephews Frank, Anthony, John, and Mitchell. Clare also has many great nieces and nephews. Clare was a gentle soul who loved making new friends and helping others. She will be missed by all of those who knew her sweet ways and gentle disposition.
