A proud woman of her Acadian roots Claire was an exceptional person with many talents leading her to open and run her own yarn store in Iroquois Falls for few years until retirement in 2025. She truly enjoyed sharing her passion for crafting with her customers and friends. She had many talents and her favorite ones was quilting and making button art. Aside from crafting and the business, she loved tremendously spending time with her husband and her family who was dear to her. She always cared for all the people around her and especially her customers at the store where she took pride to maintain a wide inventory to satisfy everyone. During the Covid years was when her store was the busiest and kept her going during the lockdowns as people were exploring new hobbies.
