Claire M. O'Leary

Age 95, of Beechview, peacefully on Thursday, August 21, 2025. God called Claire home and said, "Well done, my good and faithful servant". Beloved wife of the late Thomas F. O'Leary, Jr; loving mother of Lynn (Jerry) Miklos, Ken (Maggie) O'Leary, Collette (Dave Fink) O'Leary, Kathleen "KA" (Kevin) Cockerham, Joy (Gary) Ferraco, Stephen (Valerie Mesko) O'Leary; cherished nana of Scott (Jen) Miklos and the late Jeff Miklos, Casey (Katie) Cockerham, Katherine "Kiki" (Nick) Schwerin, Connor Cockerham, Adam (Laura) Ferraco, Rachael Ferraco, Morgan (Tyler) Ramer and Tristan O'Leary; adored GG of Xavier Petock, Sofie Miklos, Nora and Riley Cockerham, Olivia Schwerin and Baby Boy Schwerin on the way; dear sister of the late John (Agnes) Somerville. Also survived by many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Claire dedicated her life to her family, providing unconditional love, support and encouragement. Her greatest strength as a mother was balancing her six children's very different personalities. She was a devout Catholic and a member of St. Catherine of Siena Church for over 65 years and was a bridal consultant for many years at Kaufmann's. The family would like to thank her neighbors, friends and especially Dr. Paul Tepe for their care, support and friendship over the years. Funeral arrangements by BEINHAUERS.
