Claire Johns McNabb Claire McNabb, age 80, of Austin, Texas, beloved mother and grandmother, passed away unexpectedly Saturday, December 27, 2003 at St. Davids Hospital. Claire was born on November 18, 1923 in Gwinn, Michigan to William and Esther Johns. She married her high school sweetheart, John McNabb and enjoyed a wonderful 33 years of marriage. They moved many times from Michigan to Montana to Illinois and finally made Texas their home in 1957. The love of her life were her two children and four grandchildren. There wasnt a person who knew Claire that didnt love her. She always thought of others first. Claire was a passionate reader and volunteered at her childrens and grandchildrens school libraries. She had a great sense of humor and was an exceptional card player and teacher. One of her greatest pleasures was being in the Profiteers, a ladies investment club. She was the Treasurer for over 12 years and never missed a meeting. The members of the Profiteers and her neighbors in Summerwood will surely miss her. Among her other talents, she was an unparalleled cook. Her family will never forget the holidays at her home. Her husband John Staiger McNabb and sister Donna preceded her in death. She is survived by her two children Lynn Peterson and Scott McNabb, their spouses Al Peterson and Jan McNabb, and her grandchildren Fleetwood Wynne McNabb, Allison Claire McNabb, Hallie Louise Peterson, and Douglas Staiger Peterson. She will be deeply missed and in our hearts forever. A celebration of her life will be held Sunday, January 4, 2004, at the home of Lynn and Al Peterson, 2501 Bridle Path from 5:00 7:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Salvation Army, P.O.
