August 15, 1934 — August 3, 2022

Kent

Claire Rastetter, born August 15, 1934, of Kent joined her husband Alfred on August 3, 2022 surrounded by her Family.

Claire and Al valued their family over everything and proudly raised their 5 children to share the same unbreakable family bond.  Claire was a strong and loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She showed us the value of traditions such as Sunday and holiday dinners, family vacations, and spending time together at her home.  Claire started as a bank teller and worked her way up to become the first woman to become a Branch Manager for Huntington Bank and made many lifetime friends during her time there.

Claire is survived by her 5 children Patricia (Gary) Papes, Steve (Candy), Mary (Montie) Hardman, Joseph (Joyce) and Gregory (Edith). She also leaves behind 15 grandchildren, Brandi (Nate) Timberlake, Jessica (Paul) McEwuen, Steve (Jessica) Rastetter, Jennifer (Josh) Garretson, Montie (Melanie), Renee and Denise (Nathan Angeloff) Hardman, Christopher and Courtney Papes, Matthew, Anna and Jackson Rastetter, Monica and Lylybell Vega and Ezra Rastetter. Her 12 great grandchildren include Nate and Nick Timberlake, Will, Max and Ella McEwuen, Colton, Sophia, Georgia and Fiona Rastetter, McKenna and Luke Garretson and Lyla Suhrie. Claire also leaves behind many friends, cousins, nieces and nephews all over the US and Canada.
