Carole St. Claire was a loving Christian woman who touched the lives of everyone she met. She was born in Hollywood and grew up in Seal Beach, California, before living in Colorado and eventually calling Kansas home for the past 20 years. Her faith was central to her life, and she was an active member of Cornerstone Christian Church, where she found community and purpose. Her warmth and kindness were a source of comfort to her family and friends, and she was always there with a kind word or a helping hand. Carole’s husband, Michael St. Claire, was a proud Native American who also passed away in 2012 from a tough battle with lung cancer. Their love and legacy continue to inspire those who knew them.

Carole was the devoted mother of Tracy Henderson and Michael Jr. St. Claire, and mother-in-law to Tracy’s husband, Eric Henderson. She was also a loving Nana to Savannah and Katelynn Henderson, Tracy’s children. Her family was her greatest joy, and she cherished every moment spent with them.

Recently, Carole passed away from covid-pneumonia after nearly two weeks in the medical ICU. Her loss has left a deep void in our hearts, and we are now facing the costs of her funeral, burial, and other arrangements. We want to honor her memory in a way that reflects the love and faith she shared with all of us.

We are grateful for any support you can offer during this difficult time. Your kindness will help us give Carole the farewell she deserves. Please consider sharing a memory or message about Carole, and thank you for being part of this celebration of her life.
