Claire Ostrowski 3/11/1948-8/16/2023

Claire was born in Switzerland to Isidor and Helen Grossfeld. Her family eventually migrated to New York where she lived until 1982.

Claire met and married the love of her life in New York and married Walter Ostrowski on December 30, 1967. Claire and Walter had 3 daughters.

Due to Walters job, the Ostrowski family moved to Auburn Washington in 1982. Those of you who knew Claire, knew she hated it here for the longest time.

After Walter passed way in August of 1983, Claire raised her daughters on her own, while becoming a Real Estate Agent. This was the best job for Claire as you all know, she loved to talk.

As Claire's daughters grew up, they made many friends along the way, and Claire always welcomed them with open arms. Many of Claire's daughters friends grew to call her mom. Claire was very supportive of her daughters and her friends. Her daughters friends enjoyed Claire, as they always knew she would say what was on her mind. Claire's favorite phrase was "Kapeesh!"

Claire was also known as meme, her favorite name to go by. There was nothing she loved more than being a meme. She never missed an event of her grandchildren, and she loved to have baking days with many of her grandkids. If they couldn't be here to enjoy her treats, she would send them in the mail to wherever they were.

Claire is survived by her 3 daughters, Donna (Ernie) Pratt, Debra Bodus, and Stephanie (Eli) Liske. Her 7 grandchildren, John Walter (Tasha), Meagan (Taylor), Madison, Drake, Aiden (Madi), Tori (Stephanus) and Nikki and her 4 great grandchildren JJ, Liam, Paislee. and Hope.

Claire will be missed more than words can describe.

Claire was preceded in death by her husband Walter Ostrowski and her parents Isidor and Helen Grossfeld.

There will be a celebration of life at We are Calgary Church in Sumner (15116 Gary Street East) on September 22, 2023 starting at 12pm with a small service and time afterwards to enjoy treats and share stories of this wonderful lady who has sadly left us.
