Not sure what to say?

I will miss my friend's smile and the way a room got brighter when she cam into it. We sang together on the Diamond State Chorus risers and at many sing-outs in a quartet or small group about 20 years ago. Sha was the bass mother hen for us on those occasions. May she breathe easy in heaven.

I am so sad to read this, Claire was a wonderful, caring human being. She was a great part of DSC and I loved singing with her. She shared her Real Estate knowledge with me and I enjoyed working with her for the time I did. She loved her family, loved singing and loved life in general. She will be missed for sure. May her memory be a blessing.

I am so sad to read this, my condolences to the family. I loved being around her and Jim. She shared her love of Real Estste with me. Heaven now has a wonderful singing angel. She will be missed...

Ronda Bolinger, Pam Adams, (Me) Joyce Fangman sang with Claire in a quartet called “Four Fun”. And boy did we have such fun together. We laughed so much every time we were together. We sang for a group at the DuPont Hotel where we were standing very close to a frozen chiseled ice sculpture!!! We were all practically frozen but Claire said she thought her backside was most definitely frozen! Another time we sang for a ladies tea event where all the women attendees were wearing large...

My condolences to Jim and the family. I shared my birthday with Claire and sang with her in Diamond State Chorus.

This is very sad. Claire was so full of joy, encouragement, giving support to her Sweet Adeline sisters. I have known her for about 35 years. She was a wonderful singer with a beautiful, mellow voice. Personally, she always encouraged me as director of the Diamond State Chorus.

Claire and I go way back in Sweet Adelines. She was such a great, resonant singer, but beyond that, a kind, caring and encouraging Sweet Adeline sister in the Diamond State Chorus. My sympathy goes out to Jim, the children and grandchildren.

I am stunned to learn of Claire's death. We were bowling buddies for many years and continued to keep in touch--mostly via Facebook. I will not forget her terrific attitude and laugh! My sincere condolences are extended to her wonderful family.

One of the nicest ladies I ever met in my real estate career. She was kinda and honest. A true nice lady
