Claire Marie Foster of St. Thomas passed away peacefully on May 31, 2020.
She was born July 7, 1929, in New Jersey to parents Clara and Leon Cybulski. Raised in Collingswood, N.J., she attended St. John grammar school and Camden Catholic High School. From childhood she yearned to travel, so she started her adventure with American Airlines, managing a V.I.P. ticket office on Wall Street in New York City. She moved on to McGettiganâs Travel Bureau in Philadelphia where she was offered the chance to travel more extensively. Soon she was invited to the opening of the elegant Virgin Isle Hotel, in St. Thomas, where she immediately fell in love with the island.
