Clare Kelly Obituary

Clare Bridget Kelly, 87, of Williamsburg passed away on November 21, 2021. Clare enjoyed her time being outside gardening and watching birds. Due to her immigrating from Ireland as a young adult, she became a member of Irish and English organizations in both New Jersey and Virginia in which she would spend lots of her time. One thing she loved doing was spending time with her family and friends. Everyone knew her as the life of the party. Clare was a member of St. Bede's Catholic Church. Clare is preceded in death by her mother, Ellen McCaffrey Butler; and her Father, Joseph Butler. She leaves behind her Spouse Donald Kelly; Son, Donald Kelly; Daughter, Clare K. Lotspeich (Russell Lotspeich); Siblings, Mary McFall, Bernadette Barone; Grandchildren, Bryce Lotspeich. A Private Celebration of Life will take place in the Spring of 2022. Bucktrout Funeral Home is handling the arrangements.
