OCEAN GROVE AND HACKENSACK - Claire A. (Reichman) Klepner, 71, of Hackensack and Ocean Grove, passed away on July 28, 2023. Loving wife of Louis Gioffre, Cherished Daughter of Emelia Reichman of Florida, she was predeceased by her father Joseph Reichman. Survived by a sister Sally Reichman, brother Morris (niece Rachel), sister-in-law Janet Gioffre and the cherished niece of Gail Mancini (sons Michael and Danny)
Born and raised in Vineland NJ, she went on to graduate from Douglass College Rutgers with a degree in microbiology. This led to a 40-year career in the pharmaceutical industry in research with publications and continuing onwards to medical education and pharmaceutical marketing and advertising positions. She ultimately was the owner and operator of Maestro Communications, a Medical Education firm in Hackensack, NJ, before retiring in 2014.
She found the love of her life and eventual husband Louis, spending 34 years together building a beautiful life. This included their prized Victorian home which they restored in Ocean Grove NJ. Spending the seasons there with friends and family from far and wide, Claire was always a most generous hostess. An animal lover, she always cared and nurtured the family cat at the time over all the years and was charitable with various animal welfare groups. As a music aficionado she enjoyed many concerts and shows. She was fortunate to have traveled all over the world with her career and delighted in vacations to Florida, the islands and Europe. Claire loved to cook and celebrate holidays with family and friends. Vibrant, with a lovely spirit; she kept many cherished close friends and relatives throughout her life. For those that she touched, her unique quality was remarkable, and she will be missed tremendously by those of us left behind.
