Claire Rose (Eisman) Kline

Claire Rose Eisman Kline, 92, died peacefully on October 26, at her Lake Murray home in Lexington, SC. In her final weeks Claire was surrounded by the love of her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, sharing hugs, stories, and laughter.

Claire was born in Raleigh, NC on April 14, 1927, to the late Frank and Tillye Satisky Eisman. She was preceded in death by the love of her life, her husband of 68 years, Morris A. Kline, who died February 21, 2016, and by her sister Marian “Cissy” Eisman Wollman.

Claire was a loving wife, devoted and generous mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She loved preparing food for her family and was happiest when surrounded by those she loved. She was a past president of Hadassah, and active member of Beth Shalom Synagogue. Claire enjoyed her time with dear friends in the 21 B.C. Club.

She will be missed dearly by all who knew her.
