In Loving Memory of Claudine Tariche

It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we have to share the unexpected passing of Claudine Tariche on Wednesday, December 6, 2023, at the age of 47. Claudine was a daughter, sister, loving wife to Rob, amazing mother to her two children, Lucas (13) and Elyse (11), and a true friend.

Claudine grew up in Staten Island, went to Farleigh Dickinson for her undergrad, and then received her master’s degree from Wagner College. She was an incredible teacher at PS185 in Brooklyn for over 20 years. Her love for animals was immeasurable. From cold, snowy mountains to warm sand and waves, skiing and the beach were two of her favorite things.

Losing Claudine so unexpectedly is something unimaginable, and something that will never be healed. This family will never be the same without her, and neither will anyone who had the pleasure of knowing her. To know Claudine was to love her. She will be so deeply missed, and we hope that the memory of her kind wonderful soul will live on forever.

With all the emotional pain and stress that death brings, it can also bring financial burdens. We would like to raise money for Rob, Lucas, and Elyse to help with covering funeral expenses and supporting the family in the future as they learn to navigate a world without Claudine.

It is in times of sadness and loss when people come together to help one another to make it through. Please keep the family in your prayers during this devastating time, and we ask that if you are able to donate, you may help to support this beautiful family during such a difficult time.

Thank you in advance for your loving kindness.

Visitation will be Wednesday, December 13, 2023 from 4pm-8pm at Memorial Funeral Home (155 South Ave., Fanwood NJ 07023).

Funeral Mass will be held at Immaculate Heart of Mary Roman Catholic Church on Thursday, December 14, 2023 at 11am (1571 Martine Ave., Scotch Plains, NJ 07076)
