Claire Ann (Bianchi) Gadde, 69, of Mendon, passed away peacefully on Monday, June 30, at U
Mass Medical Center, Worcester, surrounded by her beloved family after a brief illness. She was
the daughter of the late Joseph C. Bianchi, Jr. and his wife, the late Eleanor O'Day Bianchi.
Claire was a 1973 graduate of St. Mary's High School. She devoted 35 years of service as a
Pharmacy Technician at Milford Hospital before retiring, and most recently worked part time at
Marshall's Department Store in Franklin.
She is survived by her loving daughter, Amber Gadde, whom she called by countless loving
nicknames, and her cherished grandson, Wes Gadde Bagley who she lovingly called "Mr.
Blueberry Eyes". She also leaves behind her devoted siblings: Kathleen Pirro of Hopedale; Mary
Roberto and her husband Joseph, Joseph Bianchi III and his wife Linda, and John Bianchi and his
wife Marianne, all of Mendon. She was the niece of Regina L. (Bianchi) and her husband
Bernard Consoletti of Milford.
Claire was adored by her many nieces and nephews: Kailen Pirro and her husband Eric, Brien
Pirro and his fiancée Susannah Crepet, Gianessa Pirro, Joseph Bianchi and his wife Abigail, Brittany Bonacci and
her husband Kevin, Joseph Roberto, and Jaclyn Bianchi. She also leaves behind her great-
nephews: Aiden, Sergio, Charlie and many loving relatives and friends.
She will be lovingly remembered by her longtime companion, Richard Weber, known to her as
"Richie," whose presence brought joy, laughter, and love to her life, and by her dearest friend,
Debbie Fullum, with whom she shared countless cherished moments and a beautiful bond of
friendship.

We are very sorry for your loss. It was such a sudden and tragic diagnosis and an unexpected passing. I know it will take time to except and process through your grief.
Claire was a lovely, pleasant woman who I met through the Weber family. Only visiting with her at a few family gatherings. I know she will be missed, especially by Dick.

With our sympathy
Ted and Linda Sliney
