Clare P. Sandberg

Her family will remember her tenacity, wit, charm, grace, and how much she cared for them. They will remember her love for the ocean, sailing, a game of Bridge and vacationing. The fond memories of the house in Bristol, New Hampshire and being poolside in Lincoln, Rhode Island will carry on. She was a proud career woman, working as a legal secretary for the State of Rhode Island. She was a long time, active member of St. Jude Parish and a member of Lincoln Senior Center where she spent many hours learning to navigate the world of computers.

This wonderful Woman, Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother leaves behind a loving family – her son, John Sandberg and her daughter, Carol Hay. She leaves behind the spouses of her children, Robert Hay and Dennis Brewer, along with 7 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. She is happily joining, in heaven, her parents John and Hilda Ivers, her husband Lathom Sandberg, her daughter Elizabeth Brewer, and her daughter-in-law Kathie Sandberg. In typical Clare fashion, even in death, she didn’t leave any decisions up to her family; going as far as planning her entire funeral, leaving only her outfit and this obituary up to the family.

Her visitation and funeral will be held Monday 8:00-9:15 a.m. from the PONTARELLI-MARINO Home, 971 Branch Avenue, Providence, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10:00 a.m. in Saint Jude Church, 301 Front Street, Lincoln. Clare has asked that in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions be made to Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Clare will be sorely missed.
