Clare T. Murphy, currently of Burke, VA, formerly of Hartford, CT, entered into the Lord’s embrace Wednesday, February 2, 2022. Born in Hartford, she was the daughter of the late John J. and Elizabeth (Farrell) Murphy. She graduated from Mt. St. Joseph Academy and St. Joseph’s College. Clare worked for many years within the Hartford School system as a nurse before her retirement. Always interested in her community, Clare was very proud of her many years of community activism in H.A.R.T., Hartford Areas Rally Together, and other organizations. Whether sifting through records at city hall, watching for problems in her South West neighborhood, supervising community cleanups, or trying to make the communities of Hartford safer, no job was too big or too small for Clare to get involved. Clare was recognized as an outstanding Hartford senior who was strongly committed to her peers. She is survived by a niece, Joanne Fantini, and two nephews, John Fantini, and Michael Fantini, his wife Anne, and their children, Elizabeth and husband Wesley Brinkman, Michael, Jr., and Anneliese. In addition to her parents, she is predeceased by her sisters, Elizabeth M. Fantini, Patricia M. Murphy, and Maura C. Murphy. Funeral Services will be held Friday, February 11, 2022. Friends and relatives may call on the family from 8:30–9:30am at the Farley Sullivan Funeral Home, 34 Beaver Rd, Wethersfield, leaving at 9:30am from the funeral home to a Mass of Christian Burial at 10am in Saint Augustine Church, 10 Campfield Ave, Hartford.
