Claudia J. Juarez's Obituary
Claudia Julia Juarez (Francini), age 80, passed away peacefully on February 13, 2026, in Danvers, Massachusetts. Born on July 10, 1945, in Stafford Springs, Connecticut, Claudia lived a life filled with love and an appreciation for life's simplest joys. For over thirty years, Claudia worked in the reservations department at Delta Airlines. Her career reflected her warm demeanor and natural ability to connect with others, leaving a lasting impression on all who had the pleasure of knowing her. Claudia is lovingly remembered by her daughters, Lisa Anne Poulin of Marion, MA, and Marisa Rossetti and her husband Steven Rossetti of Merrimack, NH; her son Jonathan Juarez of Revere, MA; and her seven cherished grandchildren: PJ Poulin, Michael Poulin, Daniella Rossetti, Elaina Rossetti, Mia Rossetti, Andrea Juarez, and Juliana Pascasio (beloved goddaughter) along with Juliana's husband Justin Pascasio as well as a great grandmother to Ellio Solis. She was predeceased by her loving parents, Orlando and Dina Francini of Stafford Springs, Connecticut. Claudia found joy in life's small treasures-whether it was exploring new places on long drives or enjoying quiet moments walking her beloved dog Daisy Mae by the beach. She embraced shopping with enthusiasm and thoughtfulness, often selecting meaningful gifts that reflected her love for family and friends. Through these gestures and countless acts of kindness, Claudia shared her tender heart with the world. She was a devoted advocate for her son Jonathan, who has Down Syndrome. Claudia tirelessly fought for services for him and encouraged his participation in activities he loved such as swimming, bowling, roller skating, singing, dancing, and the Special Olympics. Jonathan was the light of her life; she always said he was never a burden but her greatest blessing. A funeral mass and burial will take place this fall at St. Edward's Church in Stafford Springs, Connecticut. Claudia will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Her legacy of love and generosity will forever inspire those whose lives she touched. May her memory bring comfort to all who mourn her passing.
