Claire SamanthaRAYPassed away peacefully, surrounded by her close family, on Sunday 1st October 2023, aged 53 years old.

Claire was a loving mother to her three children, Nicole, Natasha and Oliver and a devoted wife to her husband Dave. A cherished daughter to Gill and Alan as well as a caring sister to Keith. Loved dearly by all of her family, friends and work colleagues. Claire was a ray of sunshine to us all and will be deeply missed.

Celebrating Claire’s life, her funeral will take place on Friday 3rd November at Lichfield & District Crematorium with the service starting at 1.30 pm. We invite Claire’s close family and close friends only to this intimate location due to limited capacity.
Afterwards, for all of those who would like to raise a glass to Claire and to pay their respects, everyone who wishes to attend is welcome at The Pavilion at Branston Golf Club at 4.00pm where her final send off will take place after the crematorium. We will raise a toast and dance, just like Claire would have wanted. Claire brought so much light into our lives, we would like to reflect that in her send off and would appreciate it if everyone could wear colours rather than black. After all, this is a celebration of Claire’s colourful and happy life.
During Claire’s final weeks, the team at the Royal Derby Hospital, Macmillan Nightingale Unit, made it possible for Claire to achieve her last wishes, for Claire to attend her daughters wedding in Greece surrounded by all of her family and friends – against all odds, they made it happen. For that and for the sincere care and dedication to their patients, we are raising money for this wonderful ward. Rather than flowers, we ask if people could donate in memory of Claire.

Donations in memory of Claire, made payable to The Macmillan Nightingale Unit, Royal Derby Hospital (DBHC) - Nightingale Macmillan Unit - General Fund (14001) may be sent c/o Murray’s Funeral Directors, 29 Station Road, Barton under Needwood, DE13 9DR. Tel: 01283 713714.
