Claire Blaufarb Stern
December 6, 1924 - March 27, 2018
Claire Stern (nee Blaufarb), age 93, at Bentson Apartments, Sholom Home St. Paul Minnesota. Claire passed away on March 27, 2018. Beloved widow of Lee K. Stern, she is survived by her children, Erica Stern, of St. Paul, MN and Marc Stern of Lexington, MA, her daughter in-law Bronwen Heuer, and her granddaughter Bronwen Stern. She is also survived by her brother, Gerard Blaufarb of Los Altos, CA, and numerous nephews, nieces and cousins. Born in New York City, Claire was an adventurous traveler, an actress, and a playwright. She ran a foster family recruiting project in Cleveland OH and was the longtime public relations director for Spaulding for Children of Westfield, NJ. Claire was a kind, tolerant, joyous and loving person who made friends everywhere she went and stayed in touch with them until the end of her life. She loved music, theater, and swimming. She was deeply committed to non-violent social change and equality, and was an active part of the civil rights, interfaith and anti-Vietnam war movements. Memorial services will be held at a later date. We ask that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Sholom Home or the St. Paul JCC.
