Loving mother of Laurie Johnston and her husband Steve. Survived by sisters, Anne Audet-Giroux and husband Marc Yvain and Rosemary Kuhnigk and husband Achim, from Welland, Ontario. Predeceased by siblings Gordon, Jim and Gwen. Claire was born in Earlton, Ontario. She was an accomplished piano player and earlier in her life managed a music school and taught piano. Claire loved music! She loved to dance and had a wonderful flair for decorating and fashion. Claire had a smile that would light up a room and a personality and spirit that was gentle, kind and generous. She enjoyed attending the Adult Day Program at Dearness in London. Claire especially enjoyed joining Laurie on bus tours and was always the proud mom! She courageously endured many health issues towards the end of her life. Claire was brave, accepting and a true hero. Rest in peace my sweet Dublin.
