Clare O'Dea Grothe, R.N.

They were my downstairs neighbors for many years. Clare was a wonderful person. Open, kind, generous, and sweet. They were so happy with me. Harry, her husband, was so sad when she died, that he moved to Harrisburg, PA to be with his family. he died there. Today was the 25th anniversary of her obituary: Dec. 19, 1998 I thought about her all day. Then I saw it was the anniversary. She died of scleroderma. I hope they find a cure. GROTHE-Clare (nee O'Dea). Beloved wife of Harry. Devoted daughter of Mary O'Dea. Loving sister of Joseph O'Dea, Maureen Flood, Ann James, Eileen Riordan, and Martin O'Dea. Cherished aunt of 26 nieces and nephews and many grand nieces and nephews. A dedicated nurse and loving caregiver. We are saddened by her loss. A private mass will be held, and a memorial mass is planned for a later date.
