Claire R. Pearson

July 10, 1925 - April 26, 2020

Claire Regina Pearson, loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother, passed away Sunday April 26 at 1008. Claire passed peacefully in her sleep.

Predeceased by her husband Bob in 2007, both were residents of the Ware Presbyterian Community in Oxford, Pa.

Surviving children include Chris (wife Charmaine) of Metamora, Ill, Randy (wife Sharon) of Wilmington, DE, Bob (wife Debbie) of Huntington, IN, Nancy (husband Steve) in Las Vegas, NV and Bill of Redmond, WA. Claire’s favorite pastime was keeping track of her 10 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren.

Originally born in Brooklyn, NY, Claire completed her studies at Hunter College. Married to Robert O. Pearson in June 1948. After a brief residence in New Jersey, and a short stay in California, Claire and Bob set up house in Newark, Delaware. Active in the community, Claire served in many capacities with her husband and children’s activities. A stay at home Mom, Claire was always busy late into the evenings assisting the kids with homework, scout projects or mending torn uniforms. With her trusty book of Home First Aid and Remedies Mom was affectionately known as “Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy” as she chased after and patched up 5 active and healthy children.

So many friends were made and never a harsh word said. Claire encouraged her husband’s career. While always having Dad’s back with the kids, they moved to Long Island for 3 years and then to Tokyo before returning to Newark and into retirement traveling and sailing the Chesapeake Bay.

Claire will be remembered with a small family service for her internment at the Head of Christina Cemetery at a later date.

We miss you mom, we miss you mom and dad. What a great mother and what great parents you were through the many years. Love forever, Bob

Tomorrow marks a year since mom's passing. I continue to "talk to her" every day. She always loved hearing everything that was happening in our lives and lending sage advice when needed. We are all blessed to have had her in our lives. My brothers and I are truly blessed to have been raised and loved by two such wonderful parents, Bob and Claire Pearson. Our wish is that they are dancing together, once again, at the galas in heaven.

Im not sure I will ever get over missing mom. She was always there for all of us love and had interest in our daily lives. She is missed but Im happy she is with the love of her life, my dad. God bless you mom for sharing your smiles, love, and humor. I miss you mom!

Nancy and family, very sorry to see your mom's passing. May happy memories help ease your pain. God Bless.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

So sorry to hear of Claires passing. We always had a good time with her and Bob at all the Arbour Park parties and missed seeing them when they moved to Ware. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

I knew and loved Claire. I considered her a good friend. RIP my friend

Claire didn't forget familiar faces. She always had a cheerful smile and humorous word.

We are residents at Ware and met Claire on several activities that are offered here. The most memorable was a wine tasting. Claire sat with us at a small table and demonstrated her quick wit, smiling eyes, and appreciation of wine. We didn't see her often but we enjoyed her company every time.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
