Cathy Lee Higgins Clarke died of cancer October 10, 2012 on Westport Island.

She was born in Los Angeles, Calif., April 16, 1952.

She is survived by her husband, Robin Clarke; her mother, Ginny Higgins; her son, Sean Dunkleberger, two sisters, Laurie and Leslie Higgins; three stepchildren, Mike, Beth and Billie; many other relatives and friends, and her cat, Boo Boo. Cathy moved to Westport Island with her husband in December of 1999. She loved lobstering, painting, gardening, animals, and most of all, people. If she heard of someone that needed help, she would be the first one to offer without being asked. If you were lucky enough to meet her, you will never forget her.

Honoring her request, there will be no services.

The family wishes to thank the women of hospice and Kincer Funeral Home.
