She was a beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother whose greatest joy in life was her family. Claire’s love, warmth, and devotion to those she cared for created a legacy that will continue through generations.
Claire loved to travel, was an incredible cook, and had a natural elegance about her. Whether she was preparing a beautiful meal for her family or heading out impeccably dressed, she made every moment feel special. She had a gift for making people feel welcomed, cared for, and loved.
She is survived by her children: Kathleen Nawrocki and her husband Michael, John Arlotta Jr. and his wife Pamela, Dawn Arlotta, and Michelle Arlotta Routh. In addition to her four children, Claire is survived by eight grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren, all of whom brought immense pride and happiness to her life.
Claire will be remembered for her kindness, strength, grace, and the unconditional love she gave so freely. Her presence brought comfort and joy to those around her, and she will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
