STRONG, Claire MaryAnn (Point) -
May 7, 1941 - March 8, 2023
Claire left us peacefully and unexpectedly in her home that she loved at Bloom Retirement Community, Oshawa on March 8th, 2023.
Claire was in her 82nd year and was predeceased by the love of her life Lawrence (Larry) Strong.
She will be sadly missed by her daughter Kathy Hooey (Todd) her son Brian Strong, and her youngest daughter Kim (Rob).
Claire (Mimi) loved her grandchildren more than life itself. Mimi will be deeply missed by Garrett & Jacklyn Hooey, Logan and Gavin Strong, and Camden and Carly Stickney. Claire was the eldest of five siblings. Leona (Marcel ), Moe (Ann), Lorraine (Gerald), Gerry (predeceased Elaine) and numerous nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her parents Joe and Marg Point where they lived in Kirkland Lake. She will also be greatly missed by her mother in law Marion now in her 104 year who Marion loved as one of her own.
Claire was a kind, strong woman who loved company, dropping in for visits and a swim. They were often rewarded with a home cooked dinner. Claire had many positions in retail and was a leader of many social clubs. It will never be the same without visits or chats with Claire, but we must be strong because that is what Claire would want.
The funeral will be held at Morris Funeral Chapel Ltd, Bowmanville. Friday March 17th with a visitation 12 pm., service to follow at 2pm.
Memorial Donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
