Claire Joyce Clein Weiner was an exquisitely beautiful and marvelously intuitive person.
Born in Seattle on February 9, 1930, Claire passed away at her home in Los Angeles on April 5, surrounded by love. She graduated from the Bush School in Seattle and the San Francisco College for Women.
Claire’s sense of style was magnificent, with a superb “eye” for detail and milieu, including classic as well as contemporary French, Asian and American culture and design. She loved small dogs and majestic cats, with leopard and tiger prints adorning favorite accessories and furnishings.
Claire had an exceptional ability to “see” things as well as people. She was creative, clever, curious and caring. A dutiful daughter and inspiring sister for many years, Claire enjoyed a fabulous life as an adoring wife, glorious mother, proud Nani and impeccable homemaker. She was also a talented interior designer who loved to collect beautiful objects, paint, knit, garden and cook.
Claire and her late husband Steve shared a true love story for 65 years, marrying the week they met in Chicago and cultivating a wonderful, lovely life in Beverly Hills for over 60 years. Together they loved to travel the world, vacation in Hawaii and raise their daughter Cynthia.
Over the years they were members of several clubs, including the Outrigger Canoe Club, La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club, Riviera and Hillcrest Country Clubs, American Legion Yacht Club, and Beverly Hills Tennis Club. Raised beside lakes, Claire and Steve loved beaches and oceans where they will both rest in peace and forever be part of everything, everywhere.
Claire is survived by her grateful daughter Cynthia Hirschhorn; son-in-law Charles Hirschhorn; and treasured grandchildren Jason, Nicole and Adam. She loved visiting them in the Palisades.
