Mary Claire Sultenfuss, 66 of Tampa died on September 5, 2023. Mary Claire was born to Grace Lee and Louis Clare Sultenfuss on October 4, 1956. Her Family has been for generations Florida citrus growers and linear descendants of Richard Henry Lee, a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
Mary Claire attended H. B. Plant where she worked evenings running an automated radio station. She also worked as a television camera operator at PBS. In 1975 she moved over to the East Coast of Florida where she worked at the School of Music at the University of Miami.
She established her own company “Lone Star Graphics”. She operated a paper and printing business Paper Roll Products of Florida. She made many lovely friends in the 40 years she lived on the East Coast and had kept in contact with many of them. She returned to her home town of Tampa where she was able to spend time with Family and friends and most importantly do some traveling and enjoying many passions with her sister Grace. She was a wonderful gourmet cook and an excellent baker along with many other creative endeavors. One of her favorite escapes was spending time at Indian Shores walking on the beach and enjoying beautiful sunsets. She lived her life full of energy, humor and kindness towards others. Gone too soon, she will be greatly missed.
Loving Family that survive her are Grace G. Sultenfuss, sister, along with a large extended Family. The Family wishes to thank all the wonderful caring people that helped her through her sudden illness at TGH. In lieu of flowers donations may be made in Mary Claire’s memory to the Children’s Caner Center 4901 W. Cypress St. Tampa, FL. 33607 or American Cancer Society.
