This special lady will be fondly remembered by many other friends and relatives. A resident of Parker, Colorado, Mimi worked as a realtor in the Denver area. She married Jeffery Le Claire in December, 1967. She was a graduate of University of Wisconsin – Whitewater. Her final days were blessed with loving caregivers and friends Ruth Hubbard, Todd Killingsworth, and Stephanie Schultz. Mimi is remembered as an energetic, creative, and giving friend. She was able to squeeze fun into the smallest moments – a car ride was occasion for a silly song to entertain children and a dip in the swimming pool became an opportunity to give a scuba lesson to young boys. Her legacy is special to all who treasure her life of generosity and kindness.
