Known to us all as Nelly, Sr Claire was the epitome of kindness and empathy for everyone she met, clearly reflected in the lovely memories as recorded here by so many people, who had the privilege of knowing her.
Quiet, resilient and unwavering determination with any role she undertook, Sr Claire (Nelly) brought being a true representative of good living to a whole new level.
Nelly will be missed by us all particularly Margaret, Betty and all her loyal extended family, the example she set will be a beacon for all who come after her.

Rest In Eternal Peace Sr Claire ( Nelly)
