May 8, 1945 – Jan 20, 2024
Claire passed away rather unexpectedly after months of complications following surgery. Left to mourn are her children Victoria Helmers and Danny (Hollie) Helmers,
grandchildren Christina Harrington and Kara Pitre, Sophia and Grayson Helmers, sisters Carmen Pearce and Janice MacNeil, sister-in-law Sandra Sansom as well as numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her brother, Philip Sansom.
Claire was a vibrant woman. She was witty, intelligent, sarcastic, a brilliant writer, caring, vivacious, beautiful inside and out, a well-loved member of the LDS Church, she couldn’t wait to be a grandma and enjoyed every minute with her grandchildren, and she loved her children immensely. She also enjoyed being with her family, and was the loudest at every family gathering. She had a wonderful laugh, was passionate about American
politics, and the Toronto Blue Jays. She was giving, loved buying gifts and wrapping them beautifully. She loved the beauty of spring, summer and fall, and couldn’t wait to spend time at the lake, outdoor pools, and Hawrelak park every summer. A KFC picnic was a must-have when she took us to the pool or lake, while we lived in Lethbridge AB. She was a fantastic cook, who made the best carrot cake and spaghetti sauce, and spent Saturdays baking bread, buns, and cinnamon buns, way back when. She was liked and loved by everyone who knew her, our hearts break for this enormous loss, and she will be missed forever.
A celebration of life will be held on Monday, February 5th at 1 PM at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- Day Saints at 1203-109 Street NW Edmonton, AB. Victoria and Danny request that all attendees wear something red, or pin a red rose to their shirt in honour of Claire, as it was her favourite colour.
