Claire Wilson Obituary
Claire is survived by her loving husband of 54 years, Richard Wilson. She was the proud mother of three children and their families: Kristina, her husband Paul, and their children John and Hannah of Florida; Stephanie, her husband David, and their children Caitlin and Wilson of Massachusetts; and Randall, his wife Kristen, and their children Braelyn, Keara, and Riley of New Hampshire.
Following her graduation from Lauralton Hall, Claire spent her life in service to the community as a member of the Lebanon Valley Protective Association, a school nurse at New Lebanon Central High School, and as a nurse and care manager in Florida. Additionally, she parlayed a love of dance, first developed as a member of the Phil Jones Dancers, who performed on the Ed Sullivan Show, into a lifetime of supporting dance through her work with various schools.
A memorial service will be held at a future date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to: The Lebanon Valley Protective Association Inc. PO BOX 162, New Lebanon, NY 12125 or The
Florida Coalition for Children 317 East Park Ave Tallahassee, FL 32301, https://www.flchildren.org/.

A funny memory...rte 20 had just been repaved from the bottom of the hill, Pittsfield side, up to look out area and down to New Lebanon. Claire was zooming up the hill at a steady clip of 60 ( speed limit was 45) when out popped a trouper. She was so mad!! We teased her about that for a long time.

I was saddened to recently learn of Claire's death. Stephanie was in my Girl Scout troop and when I needed a nurse in order to go on field trips, Claire stepped in and became my co-leader. We had many good times and many laughs. It is a memory I will always cherish.
