I left Nevada county decades ago but I knew the Casey family, and Claire, in my way....for a time. Having an uncle that still lives in the area I get the occasional update on happenings in the area. I was particularly saddened to have received this bit of news. I suppose I just wanted to express how wonderful both Claire and John always seemed to me. They were both such generous and gracious people and always made me feel welcome and very much at home in their home. I'm saddened to have learned of this news and must say the world has dimmed a bit with her passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to her close friends and family.

I was so, so very fortunate to see Claire at Staples as we were returning our packages just a few weeks ago. We had not talked in years and it was wonderful to catch up on all our family news. Her love of life, family, community and God were ever present. She was Dwight's favorite plumbing customer. She is a role model for us. We all have been blessed to know her and John. Our heart felt condolences to their beautiful family.

Claire enjoyed swimming with the Master Penguin Swimmers and I enjoyed knowing her 20 years ago. A fellow swimmer.

I was so sorry to hear this news. Claire was such a special lady. I always enjoyed our conversations. She was so interested in other people and ready to talk about anything. It was a treat seeing her at the annual Nicholson family weekends (and of course, we all loved her cookies!) Much love to her family

Claire and I go back so many years.....to the days of dating, and later marrying a Santa Clara boy. Many of the boys had girlfriends, however my friendship with Claire was different; it was so very special. Due to both of us raising large families; she in California and myself in all over the Northwest; we connected less and less, but never forgot each other. Notes at Christmas, anniversaries, and then this past Christmas a full connection of letting each of us know we were committed to meeting in the new year. God's plans are not always our plans. I say goodbye to a special lady, giving thanks for all we shared!

I met Clair through her children. Always found her to be a delightful lady. My heart is broken for her family. She was a great mother raising her children to be kind and considerate .So sorry for the entire family, my prayers are with you.

She'll always be Mrs. Casey to me since I met her, I guess back in 1968 in first grade with her son, Kevin. I remember thinking something like, "Boy, she's soooo nice." Fast forward to 2 months ago at a birthday party and I had the pleasure of sitting next to her where we talked a longtime. Her incredible memory tickled me with things I hadn't thought about in decades! Amazing lady. Condolences to the whole Casey Clan.

I´m saddened for our loss of a beautiful woman. I met Claire several years ago in an Arise group through St. Canice. I was drawn to her strong faith, words of wisdom, and genuine hospitality. Her calm demeanor and genuine concern for others made others feel loved. I will miss the sweet smile she gave me at Mass as we offered a sign of peace. Heaven is her reward for living her faith. My deepest condolences to her family.

We are so sorry for your loss. It is a loss to all of us who knew that beautiful lady. We pray that your days are now filled with wonderful memories of joyful times that your family shared and celebrated together and we are so glad we were a part of many of them over the years.
My memories of Claire are from our first trip to Nevada City so many years ago. She was always so welcoming and of course, the most incredible hostess I had ever seen. The best (an oldy but a goody) of course being, "Nancy, what are you drinking when you're not drinking beer?". Gosh, that one made us laugh for years, worth circling around again I think :-). Todd and I have so many memories in her beautiful yard with her beautiful flowers and view and always the most delicious spread complete with homemade cookies (likely snickerdoodles for Todd).
I loved her calming presence, her faith and her love of family. She was so beautiful inside and out and I am so honored to have known her. It brings me peace knowing she is reunited with Papa John in a better place. Our love to you all during this difficult time. Todd and Nancy

Claire was absolutely one of my all-time favorite people right from when I first met her and John and the Casey kids in 1969 when I was 5 years old. She couldn't have been more kind and supportive to me. Always so sincerely interested in my life. She is greatly missed .

Claire was truly an inspiration to me ever since I met her when I was a young mom at St Canice Church. Her values of faith, family and friendships were evident and beautiful. My life is richer from knowing Claire. She was a beautiful human being in all ways.
