Claire Whitten Raphael's Obituary
Claire Whitten Raphael died unexpectedly on April 24th, 2015 in Tacoma. Claire's time on Earth was far too short, but her sweetness and infectious laugh made the world a better place for all who knew her. Her parents, Justin and Shayna Raphael, will never forget the joy she brought to the family and are grateful to have been touched by her. She loved to be swung by her sister Lily at the park, chase the dog around the house, throw her food, and giggle when you blew on her face. There was simply nothing that would delight her more than being around her sister in the bathtub. Before she passed, she had just begun to say "momma" and wave to people. Her family misses her sweet soul dearly. She leaves behind her mother Shayna, father Justin, sister Lily, and many other family and friends who were forever touched by her. Memorial service and funeral will be held at Mountain View Cemetery April 29th, 2015 at 12 PM.
