Clare and Nancy were married in 1952 and were together for 71 years. They lived on McMeans Avenue West in Transcona for many years, where they raised their family. They later enjoyed apartment life at Appleton Estates on Niakwa Road, until poor health necessitated a move to Park Manor.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba.
