Passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, on Wednesday 12 August 2026, aged 90. Claire was the proud wife of Peter (dec) for 65 years, loving mum to Karen and Jeff (dec), Warren, Megan and Greg, Janeen and Kevin. Much loved Nana to Kathryn, Rebecca and Shannon, Tim and Anna, Samantha and Jake, Ben, Lewis, Sherri, Shay and Aimee, Brook and Charlotte, Lane, Rachel, Callum and Javan, Joshua and Jordyn, Caitlin and Ashton, Ethan, and Theo. Great-nana to Zai and Lycan, and special mum to Ivan. A woman who loved the earth and nurtured her family with the same devotion. Her hardworking hands are now at rest, but the seeds of love she planted will grow in our hearts forever.

A private cremation has been held. The family would like to thank staff at Rhapsody and Taranaki Base Hospital for their care.
