Claire's obituary
Claire Soria, 88, of Palm Coast, Florida, passed away on September 12, 2023. She is survived by her children, Robert Soria and Rita Cerna, her six grandchildren, and her five great grandchildren. Claire was a cherished mother and wife, community leader, and piano teacher. Her enthusiasm was infectious for sharing her talents and her culture, teaching Yiddish and piano, playing Mahjong, and directing her temple choir. With courage and dedication, she also shared her story widely as a holocaust survivor and immigrant. For those lucky enough to cross paths with her, Claire left an indelible mark on us with her unwavering optimism, generosity, and faith in goodness in the world.
