A kind loveing careing lady. She was good to all her nieces and nephew,s. A wonderfull daughter to her late parents Tom and Catherine and a loveing sisters to all her late brothers and sisters. She will be missed RIP
I fondly remember Clair for her big heart, always there with a cup of tea, a laugh and a chat. Her home was always open for friends, family and any hitch hiker that passed by. Lots of family stories of adventures up the river, and the whitebait never got away. Clair got around in her trusty red Lada, checking up on her calves on her patch of land she so fondly called “My Garden of Eden”. Rest in Peace
A long time friend of the family and 1st cousin of my mum. A great personailty and legend in her own right, many fond memories.
Oh… nana clare. What a wonderfully good person she was to me when my children were young. We were neighbours and friends. The cooking, the laughs and the history. Clare will be remembered by our family for ever. That will be the end of that generation which possibly lived through the toughest time but often remembered as the best times. Our deepest sympathy to all the familyfrom James and Alwyn Friend

Will be greatly missed by all who loved her. Fond memories. Deepest sympathy to all the family. Love Tricia and David, Debra and Leslie and Phillip and families.
Deepest sympathies to all our Hansen cousins and their families on the passing of Auntie Clare. Uncle Matt (our Great Uncle & A Clare’s Uncle) always said he was the last of the ‘Mohicans’ – well Auntie Clare is the last of our ‘Mohicans’. A loving Aunt to us all and a lovely sister & sister-in-law to all her brothers & sisters. Fond memories of all the stories she told.
Rest in Peace Auntie Clare. Thinking of you all Peter, Paul, Kevin & Judith & your families.
