Clarice Finocchi Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Clarice was born in El Paso Texas to the late Joseph and Alicia (nee Medel) DiFeterici. Being from a military family she experienced many homes in many locations before finally settling in New Jersey where she graduated from Paulsboro High School. She began her teaching career after acquiring her degree from Glassboro State. Clarice went on to teach 5th grade for 41 years in the Gloucester Township School District at Glen Landing Middle School and Loring Fleming Elementary School. A dedicated teacher and a loving wife who was married for 48 years to the late Dante Finocchi (2017). She was a devoted mother to her son Adam (Gayle), a caring daughter to her aging mother Alicia and a loving mother in law to Gayle (Adam). But her greatest joy was her two grandsons Maximillian and Gabriel closely followed by her nieces and nephews. Clarice is remembered fondly by her brothers Joseph DiFeterici, Nicholas (Gayle) DiFeterici, Rafael (Laura) DiFeterici, and Antonio (Leanna) DiFeterici, nephew Erik (Terri) DiFeterici as well as many other family and friends.
Clarice was known for her no nonsense approach to life but for those who knew her best there couldn't have been a nicer more compassionate lady.
In her later years she kept a full schedule with the Gloucester County Gardeners Club, Local Book Club, Gourmet Club and Neighborhood Lunch. She applied her passion for nature and her wisdom in so many ways. Being a tour guide at the Red Bank Battlefield Butterfly House was one of her favorites!
In all the roles that she has played Clarice has joyfully touched so many lives.
Relatives and friends are welcomed to attend her viewing on Thursday, November 30th, 2023 from 10am - 12pm, followed by her Funeral Service at 12pm in The Chapel of McGuinness Funeral Home, 34 Hunter Street, Woodbury NJ 08096.
A Final Committal Service will take place on Monday, December 4th, 2023 at 10am located at Eglington Cemetery and Memorial Gardens, located at 320 Kings Highway, Clarksboro, NJ 08020.

aunt clarice has always been such a caring and loving person for my entire life. she was always smiling and had such a wonderful sense of humor no matter what life threw her way! we would always bake and listen to music together, and we would talk for hours in her sunroom together about life and nature and new recipes to try or shows to watch. she would always talk about her friends and clubs that she was in and she was always so supportive of me in everything that i did. i´m so grateful that i got to know and love her for as long as i did. i already miss her so much. it´s so hard to believe that she´s not physically here anymore but i know she´s with uncle danny in heaven and i know that i´ll see her again someday <3 i love you aunt clarice!!

Adam I am so sorry for the loss of your mother my friend. May God bless you in this time of mourning. From the heart let thank both your parents who were so very kind and nice to me as a child growing up playing with you. I fondly remember the many days we ate Bologna sandwiches for lunch together in your dining room of condo #19 amongst so many other times your mother cared for me when we played. My thoughts and prayers are with you, I wanted you to know how much both of your parents touched my life in such a positive way. I am truly sorry my friend.

I spent the summer after 4th grade PRAYING I would get Mrs. Finocchi for 5th grade. I spend the summer after 5th grade proudly wearing my "I Survived Mrs. Finocchi's 5th Grade Class". We read "Where the Red Fern Grows" that year.
We wrote fractured fairy tale plays with Mrs. Grieb's class and performed them at a sleepover in the school library. We had to write a report about our heritage and bring in a dish to share with the class. It was the best year ever and I'll never forget it.
RIP Mrs. Finocchi
