I'm so sorry to learn of Claire's recent passing. I remember Claire working at Milford Regional back in the day when working their as well. She always had a quiet and caring gentle way and always a smile to that just made your day. Also remember her at St Mary's CCHS as well although she was a few years behind me. Sending love prayers and heartfelt condolences to Mary and all her loving family.

Cathy, Mary, Joe, & John, Our prayers,,,and thoughts to you all after learning this news about Clair. So sad and without the words to describe how we feel. Clair was so sweet and fun to be with,,,,,thinking of how thoughtful she was when talking to her,,she always asked how we were doing,,and never forget anyone of us. Including my Mom. Claire's smile would light up the room and her laugh would make you laugh right along. Never forgetting the great Christmas parties we had together, and the "placque" we always dreaded receiving at the Yankee swap. Memories of growing up with her at St. Mary's will never be forgotten. May our Lord Jesus Christ pass HIS comforting hand over you all. A candle was lit at Fatima Shrine for her. We love you all,,,take care of each other.

She was humble, kind and incredibly funny. She was the epitome of effortless style, class, and whimsy. I still can’t comprehend that I’ll never get to hear her laugh or steal her away for a little chat at a family party. Her loss is as devastating as it is immense; I will love and miss her forever! My beautiful Aunt Claire.
With love, Kailen, Eric and Aiden
