Mary Clare Tumpane
August 31, 1914 - December 8, 2011
Tumpane, Clare -
Died peacefully at the Houses of Providence on December 8, 2011 in her 97th year. Clare was a devoted daughter, sister of the late columnist Frank Tumpane and a caring friend to a large circle of her peers. She was the cherished aunt of Denise (David) Howe and Michael (Rosemarie) Tumpane, the great-aunt of Christopher, Danielle, Daniel, and Sara and an enchanted great-great-aunt to Rory and Willow. She was a graduate of the University of Toronto in 1934, an uncommon feat for a young woman of that time, and spent her working career with Continental Life. She was a tireless volunteer for many organizations throughout her life and a seasoned world traveler. Everyone will miss her great kind spirit, warmth, and humour. Heartfelt thanks to all at Houses of Providence who made Clare’s later years so rich and comfortable
