Claire will be remembered for her great sense of humor. She was an avid bridge player in several local clubs. She was also an enthusiastic shopper, evidenced by her beautifully stocked clothes closets! Claire was well loved by her family and many friends.

Brown (Pamela); by her grandchildren: Erin Brown, Patrick Brown, Michelle Wolcott (Mark), Melissa Zoda (Jim), and Raymond Melaney (Sharon); and her great-grandchildren: Emily, Anna, Charlotte, and Nicholas; and by many nieces and nephews.
