Claire Catherine Bolger (nee Noack), 91, of Sarasota, Florida, passed peacefully on June 3, 2025, surrounded by her children, in Paso Robles, California. Claire was born in Providence, Rhode Island on December 31, 1933, daughter of the late Arthur and Catherine Noack. She graduated from Providence College and worked in the legal support profession for several law firms, and as a real estate agent in the greater West Chester, Pennsylvania area for nearly 30 years. Blessed with a zest for life, an indefatigable spirit and boundless energy, she loved to laugh and found humor wherever she went. Her greatest passion was her family and spending time with her grandchildren. “Granny” will be sorely missed.
Claire was preceded in death by her loving husband of 57 years, Donald B. Bolger, and her brother Raymond S. Noack. She is survived and greatly missed by her sister Ann P. Noack, brother Donald P. Noack, children David Bolger (Marifrances), Jackie Gleason (Steven), Jim Bolger (Mary) and Dan Bolger (Lawrie), and eleven grandchildren.
Please join us in celebrating her life at St. Jude Catholic Church, 3930 17th Street in Sarasota, Florida on January 9, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in Claire’s name to the Woods Humane Society at www.woodshumanesociety.org.
