- [[ Obituary:
Muriel Pierce Hoar, on January 17, 2010, with her five children beside her, Muriel passed peacefully into new life at the age of 80. Born in Hartford, June 28, 1929, she was raised by her loving grandmother, attended Immaculate Conception School and Hartford Public High School, class of '47. Following graduation, she pursued a career in New York City as a fashion model with the Harry Conover Agency, residing at the famous Barbizon Hotel for Women. After returning to Hartford, she met and married Thomas P. Hoar and continued in the fashion industry locally while raising her children. She maintained a position as legal secretary with the Cole and Cole law firm. Prior to her retirement, she worked as Executive Secretary to the Commissioner of Consumer Protection, Mary M. Heslin. She was proud to serve as an officer and volunteer for numerous church, school, and political organizations. Muriel possessed quite a flare and will forever be remembered for her "joie de vivre". She had a great love of literature, history and travel. Her appreciation for the arts and strong work ethics were traits passed down to her children and grandchildren. Foremost, was her love of her family. She lit the world brightly with her warmth, her intelligence, her humor, her generosity and, not least, her ever enduring beauty. We are so grateful for her presence in our lives. She was predeceased by her husband, Thomas, in March 2001. She is survived by her children, Michael J. Hoar and wife Patricia of New Seabury, MA, and West Hartford, CT, Patricia H. Moore and husband Thomas of Fairfield, CT, Karen H. Chadwick and husband Raymond of St. Helena, CA, Thomas P. Hoar II and wife Mary of Manchester, CT, and her youngest, Marianne H. Cirullo of Farmington, CT and Tony M. Clarke of Ireland. Her legacy lives on with her twelve grandchildren, Dr. Kimberly Caprio and husband Dr. Angelo Caprio, Kevin, Brennan and Kara Moore, Owen Graham and Colin Chadwick, Jordyn and Shannon Hoar, Bryan, Andrew and Katherine Cirullo; and great-grandson Mason Caprio. All of whom she adored. May a flight of angels accompany her to a most peaceful resting place. As she wished, a Catholic Mass of Christian Burial celebrating her life, will be held at St. Thomas the Apostle Church, 872 Farmington Avenue in West Hartford on Saturday, January 23 at 10 A.M. Private burial services will follow. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in her husband's name to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, Attn: Tribute Gifts, Church Street Station, P.O. Box, 780, New York, New York 10008-0780. Muriel's favorite Irish poem: "When Erin first rose from the dark-swelling flood, God blessed the green island and saw it was good; The Emerald of Europe, It sparkled and shone, In the ring of the world, 'Twas the most precious stone" William Drunnan (1754-1820). Muriel's Funeral Arrangements have been entrusted to the Farley-Sullivan Funeral Home, 34 Beaver Road, Wethersfield, CT 06109.
