Claire Wallace Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Claire F. Wallace, 85, died unexpectedly on February 27, 2024, at her home. She was born April 6, 1938, in Ellsworth to Clarence and Thelma (Fullerton) Morgan.
She graduated from Ellsworth High School and then became involved in the business of retail sales. Claire worked in her earlier years at Ames and Zayer's and other old-time establishments. She most recently spent her work life at Reny's "The Maine Adventure" where she had worked for almost 30 years.
Claire had been married to Bill Sawyer and later Edmond Wallace. These marriages have given her the children that made her family complete. She loved animals, especially horses and donkeys. She could remember the names of the horses better than the names of people.
Claire is survived by a daughter Angela Sawyer of Virginia; 3 sons, Kevin Sawyer and Kelly Wallace and wife Laura all of Ellsworth and Davis Hazelton and wife Sandy of Manchester, N.H.; 14 grandchildren and many great grandchildren. She was predeceased by both her husbands and a sister Harriet Buzzell.
Friends are invited to call from 4pm-5:30 pm, Friday, March 8, 2023, at Jordan-Fernald, 113 Franklin St., Ellsworth where funeral services will follow at 5:30 pm. Spring interment will be at Woodbine Cemetery, Ellsworth.
Those who desire may make contributions in Claire's name to the charity of one's choice.

My favorite memories of Aunt Claire were as a kid at the Veranda; playing in the barn while she fed the horses or cleaned their stalls and being pulled by horses on the hood of a car in the snow. We had so much fun. Will miss you, Claire! Sending love and hugs to the family.
