Claire Leisenring peacefully entered into rest on Tuesday, July 22, 2014, in Bullhead City, Ariz.

Born Nov. 27, 1939, Claire was one of a kind. She started working at the Iron Horse Restaurant for Tom Robb in 1983. She managed Arrow Point Resort for many years until it sold in 2005. Claire then continued her employment for the Iron Horse until her retirement in 2010. She moved to Arizona in 2011 to be closer to her immediate family, yet her friends here in Coeur d'Alene always missed her so much.

Claire was preceded in death by her husband, Jerry Leisenring; son, Dennis; and sister and brother-in-law, Pat and Phil. She is survived by her son, Kenny; grandchildren, Misty and J.R.; and niece, Patty Frazier and her husband, Bill.

In a yet to be scheduled ceremony, Claire's ashes will be scattered on Lake Coeur d'Alene near Arrow Point some time next summer of 2015.
