Claire was a devoted wife, a loving and caring mother, a proud Gramma and Great-Gramma. Claire was a mother to many more than just four. She provided a home to numerous orphan animals of all sorts. Claire loved to dance with her partner in life and with anyone else, hosting gatherings, cooking, gardening and shopping. Our loving mother and endearing friend loved us and life. Claire was a friend to the end.

Claire worked along her father and then her husband in family businesses. She even started a small floral business called ‘The Perfect Touch’. Claire also was an exclusive sales representative for high end fragrances at Frost Brothers, Saks, Foley’s and Macy’s.

But, Claire’s proudest accomplishment was her family. She always believed in us to do and say the right thing, never say the word ‘hate’, to be there AND to Love each other Bunches and Bunches.
