Claire (nee Shanahan) McHale passed away peacefully on January 6, 2022, in Santa Rosa, Calif., at the age of 82.
Born May 17, 1939, in Elmhurst, Queens, NY, she was the second child of three. She was a New Yorker, through and through — with stories of swimming far off shore at Rockaway Beach, and getting brushed by a barracuda fish among many other adventures in the city that she would fondly recall.
