Claire Elizabeth Gogan
1941-2019
Claire Elizabeth Gogan, the youngest of fourteen children of
Victor and Marie Badeau was born May 27, 1941. She died
peacefully surrounded by friends and family on Tuesday, January 8,
2019 at the Saint John Regional Hospital after a brief battle with
Lymphoma.
She and her loving husband David started their lives together
in Lancaster, had two children, Tony and Lisa, and lived in both
Chapel Grove and in Randolph.
Claire had a long and wonderful career at Rocmaura Nursing
Home where she loved her job, the residents and her
coworkers.
She is predeceased by her parents, her brothers Robert
(Mimi), Emile (Annette), Rosaire (Armande), Leo (Theresa), Lionel
(Germaine) and Roger (Louise) as well as her sisters Jean Theriault
(Paul), Cecile Boyce (Ray), Denis McCarthy (Bob), and Louise
Hebert (Frank), and is survived by her brother Real (Margaret) and her
sisters Juliette Coholan (Donny) and Margaret Wallace (Joe), her
children Tony (Kim) and Lisa (Chris Abric) and her grandchildren Liz,
Thomas and Abby Gogan as well as Rachel and Andrew
Leblanc.
Claire had close relationships with the children of her
sister Cecile Boyce, who died young: Gerard, Tony, Chris and
especially Joanne Carr, along with their spouses and
children.
Quick to laugh and quick to tease or flirt, Claire was also
quick to help when anyone needed her. She will be sorely
missed by her family and friends.
The Gogan family would like to thank the staff of the Saint
John Regional Hospital for their excellent care and attention during
her time of need.
Claire is resting at Brenan’s Bay
View Funeral Home, 1461 Manawagonish Rd., Saint John
(634-7425) with visitation on Sunday, January 13, 2019 from 2-4 and

Parish (St. Rose – 541 Milford Rd.) on Monday, January 14,
