December 16, 1939 — July 11, 2024

Ware - Claire Louise (Grenier) Harper, 84, of Ware, passed away on July 11, 2024 with her children by her side.



She leaves her best friend and daughter, Lisa R. Gerulaitis and her husband Robert; her son, Paul J. Harper, Jr. and his wife, Holly; her son, Phillip V.

Claire was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, gramma the great, confidant and friend to many.  She cherished her memories of family and friends; her walks along the cape cod shores with her husband, Paul, and cherished the time they spent together.  She was the kind of person who would extend a helping and generous hand to whomever needed one - a feisty lady who was a truly kind and gentle soul.  In her free time, she was artistic and loved to sketch and write poetry and enjoyed crossword puzzles. Her family was her entire world and she loved them with her whole heart.
