Clare Bear was my work mother. I love her and will always treasure her sense of adventure and advise on how to live each day. Clare will always be a shining star in my heart.
Aunt Clare was a beautiful woman inside and out. She will be truly missed. I love knowing she is with Jesus, and reunited with those she loved.
Rest peacefully Aunt Clara. You were loved and admired by many ♥️❤️♥️
You were the Boss here at Advocate Sherman Hospital and you had everything organized to perfection and you kept everything in line. We cannot put into words how much we will miss your skills and guidance. You were a ray of sunshine every time you walked in to work. During Covid when they said volunteers could not come to the hospital - you stepped up to fill a very needed position as a check in person at the hospital. Your life was played on your terms and you played every scene to perfection - even up to the very end. You came to the hospital and dressed up the Administration Suite in perfect Fall decorations that you pulled out and even brought from home. You always made this space so festive......what will we ever do without you............
Rest peacefully Aunt Clara. You were loved and admired by many ♥️❤️♥️
Oh Clare, what a shock!! Definitely gone too soon, but now in the loving arms of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. You were involved in many ministries at St. Mary - - an alumni of 'Christ Renews His Parish' - CRHP, seen at so many St. Mary functions and a dedicated 'Pink Lady" - important hospitality and serving arm of the Knights of Columbus. You will be missed on earth and joyfully arranging something in heaven. God Bless!!
