Claire was born on March 15, 1949 in Winnipeg. Claire was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of thirteen and survived many challenges throughout her life. Claire was a very strong and positive person who approached life every day as if it were her last. Claire and Phil built a great life and had many great times with family and friends at their beautiful home on Red River Drive. Their successful marriage was based on working together with love and humour. She was predeceased by her father and mother, Cyrille and Madeline Pelland, her brother Roger, and her in-laws, Philip and Rose Tencha. She is survived by her brothers, Camille and Gilbert (Jeanette), her sisters, Jeanine (Roger), Carmelle (Art), Yvette (predeceased by Denis), Rachel, Denise (Reid), Carol (Glenn), and Gisele (Ken). Claire is survived by Phil's siblings, Gerald (Doreen), Joan, Marilyn (Andrew), Gary (Wendy) and Jacqui. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews on both sides of the families. A thank you to the staff at Victoria Hospital, with special thanks going out to the 4th floor nurses Hanna and Linda, to her many doctors who cared for her over the years, and to Rachel, Denise, Carol and Jeanette for help and support during her time at the hospital.
