Clare Marie (Muensterman) Higgs, 58, of Evansville, passed away February 17, 2022. Clare was born on January 11, 1964 in Evansville to Rosemary (Lutterbach) Muensterman and the late Cletus “Bud” Muensterman. She was the youngest of twelve children, having six older brothers and five older sisters. Clare was known as the “Cool Aunt” by many nieces and nephews and several beautiful great nieces and nephews. Clare had a home in Mount Vernon, IN which she loved to adorn and where she loved to host gatherings of celebration with her family. Clare will be remembered most for being hard-working, fiercely competitive, and daring. She enjoyed crafting and quilting for her family. Clare had served as a firefighter with the Perry Township Fire Department. Her favorite place to chase down an adventure was outside in nature, the only concept that could ever analogize her beauty. Clare leaves behind an inconsolable husband, Duane Higgs, of Mount Vernon, IN and heartbroken daughters, Emily Inkenbrandt-Neary and Dana (Shawn) Wildt, her son Phillip (Dana) Jeffries and her beloved granddaughters, Haylee Evans, Monroe Neary, and Nora and Vada Wildt. She loved caring for her horse Spunky and her pups, Lulu, Bay, Chumley, and Charlie.

There will be a Memorial Mass held at 1:00 PM on Saturday, February 26, 2022 at St. Boniface Catholic Church, Rev. Lowell Will officiating. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Ronald McDonald House Charities. Clare’s family would ask that you meet other people you encounter with compassion, for everyone is dealing with their own personal struggle.
