Claire H. Sears

February 10, 1939 — November 24, 2023

Claire H. Sears passed away peacefully on November 24, 2023, at Baystate Franklin Medical Center in Greenfield. Claire was born in Northampton on February 10, 1939, the daughter of the late Wilbur and Helen (Duffy) Waite. She was raised in Northampton and attended local schools. When her children were younger, Claire was a devoted stay at home mom to her children. As the children got older, Claire began working in food service for many years. She worked for the Northampton Public Schools food service program at both Jackson Street School and JFK Middle School. Later, she was employed at the Northampton Stop and Shop supermarket. In her free time, Claire enjoyed square dancing with her husband as part of the Chic-Mates. She also enjoyed working on all types of puzzles (especially crossword). Claire loved spending time with family and friends, and very much looked forward to her monthly luncheons with her classmates. Besides her parents, Claire was predeceased by her husband Robert in 2002, her son Dale Montplaisir in 2013, and a great-grandchild. She is survived by a Loving, son Paul Montplaisir and daughter Lynn Karowski, a brother, Wilbur Waite, three grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. A graveside service for Claire will be held on Thursday, November 30, 2023, at 11:00 at the Spring Grove Cemetery in Florence. All are invited to attend. Ahearn Funeral Home has been entrusted with Claire’s care.
