Claire Connolly
1962-2022
It is with great sadness that we wish to inform you that
Claire Jacqueline Connolly passed away peacefully at her home in
Stellarton on August 31, 2022.
Born in Antigonish on March 23,1962, she spent her early
years with her family in Heatherton and later moved to Stellarton
where she attended the Pictou Training Center. Shortly after, she went
to work at Summer Street Industries until her
retirement.
Claire loved music and could often be heard singing out the
words to her favourite Irish and Tradition songs. She was always
surrounded by her favourite stuffed animals and musical toys. Her
great sense of humour would easily bring a smile to your
face.
Claire’s family would like to give special thanks to the
amazing caregivers at MacBeth house for their dedication, compassion
and kindness that made her residence her
“home”.
Claire is survived by her parents, Cyril and Grace Connolly
of Truro, NS; sisters: Debbie (Gerry) Connolly, Janet, Karen, Linda,
Cathy, Val (Mark) Stone, Kim, Angela (Randy) Pyke; and brother,
Michael (Rhonda).
