Clara "Claire" Swerdlik-Corcia

After a courageous battle, on Tuesday, September 3, 2024, in her seventy-sixth year. Devoted mother and mother-in-law of Elan Eli and Leorhai Haya, Daniel Aryeh and Brooke, and step-mother of Isaac Lior and Guila, and Amir Meir. Cherished daughter of the late Boris and the late Rachel. Proud Booblah and Bubbie of Aliyah Levanah, Eliyahu Gavriel, Naomi Isabel; Aliza Miriam, and Eliezer Yosef.

A true warrior with a strong will to live, Clara defied all odds. She was charismatic, giving, and had a positively optimistic personality that drew everyone to her. She will be missed by her family, friends, and all those who knew her.
