I worked with Claire for many years at Hallmarks. She was a very good team member in the quality dept. She always had a smile for you. I trained her when she first came to Hallmarks. We were in the sort and repair department then we transferred to quality. She lit up whenever she talked about her two children. Her friends here on earth will miss her and now the angels in heaven are her friends.

Thank you for sharing your precious pictures with us. I worked with Claire at Hallmark and also Southwest Publishing. She was always such a happy person and a good friend to talk and gossip with. I know she loved her family and those grandkids so very much. So very sorry she was taken so soon. RIP Claire ❤

I only knew Claire for a short time as we worked side by side in the lunchroom at wrhs. She was such a sweet person and I feel like we became instant friends.. prayers for a transplant she needed were sent every time we were in touch. My brother is a heart transplant recipient and I was giving her all my support for a healthy life.. it makes me sad to hear of her passing and know angels up above are welcoming her to her lasting place of rest .. my deepest sympathy to all family and friends.....

Claire fought a courageous battle, but always stayed positive through it all. I worked with Claire at Hallmark and she was one to help make a person's day a little better. May you be at peace, no pain, or needles, or waiting to have tests done. You are home. I am so sorry for your loss, Tony and family. May your memories keep you going at this time. God bless each one of you.

I was so very sorry to read of Claire's passing. We'd stayed in touch over the years and she even came to visit me and see the sights when I lived in England. The smile you see in the photos that her daughter Nicole has posted is unchanged from the one I remember when we were both in junior high so many years ago. That's how I'll remember her. Claire was good folks. She had a good heart, always tried to do the right thing and she left things better than she found them. Godspeed, Claire....
