Claire Marie Kulak

Claire Marie Kulak, a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, friend, and caregiver, passed away surrounded by love. She leaves behind her beloved son, Chris (Samantha); her cherished daughter, Melissa; her adored grandson, Christopher; her siblings, Geoffrey, Barry, and Helen; and her dear friends Mary, Gina, Suzi, and Laura.

Claire was a deeply spiritual woman whose faith was the foundation of her life. She carried a strong sense of community and found joy in connecting with and supporting others. Her calling was in nursing, a profession she embraced wholeheartedly. She took great pride in her work, dedicating herself to caring for others with compassion, skill, and kindness.

She loved the simple joys of life—spending time at the beach, feeling the ocean breeze, and listening to the waves. An animal lover through and through, Claire adored her two dogs, Susie and Faith, who were her constant companions. She also had a green thumb, tending to her many houseplants with the same care and devotion she gave to people and animals alike.

Claire will be remembered for her gentle heart, her unwavering faith, and her ability to make those around her feel cared for and understood. Her presence was a gift, and her absence will be deeply felt by all who knew and loved her.
