This page has been set up to honour her memory and support her beloved family as they navigate this difficult time.

Howick, Auckland

On Friday 5th September, Claire happily went to work as she usually did after dropping the kids to school.

After lunch , Claire collapsed and could not be resuscitated. This is such an un imaginal sudden loss for her devastated family.

Claire was a loving wife to Ryan and a devoted mum to Connor and Katelyn, who now face the heartbreaking journey of saying goodbye. We want to help ease some of the financial pressures that come with funeral arrangements, time off work and related costs.

Any contribution, will make a huge difference and allow them to focus on grieving, healing and celebrating Claire's life without the additional financial stress.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, generosity, and support during this incredibly hard time for them
