Claire Anne Dibble, 84, died peacefully on April 11, 2021 at Woodstock Terrace in Woodstock, Vermont.

She was born July 25, 1936 in Stamford, CT the daughter of Clarence J. and Nora A. (Brady) Anderson.

Spending her early years in Glenbrook, Stamford, and Darien, CT Claire was a "soda jerk", telephone operator and statistician for market research before dedicating herself to being a full time wife and mother. Later in 1977 Claire became the office manager for the Boy Scouts of America in Fairfield County, CT. She and her husband John retired to Barnard, Vermont in 2000.

A life long volunteer and public servant Claire was an active volunteer with the Boy Scouts of America, the St. Anne's Club at Our Lady of the Snows in Woodstock (serving as president) and for the Barnard Progressive Club (serving as president).

Claire enjoyed league bowling, especially with her husband Jack, for over 20 years. She loved playing games of all types, and was typically a winner, much to the chagrin of her opponents.

Throughout much of her life, her passion was developing, organizing and facilitating Boy Scout leader training. Claire was the recipient of both the Silver Beaver and Silver Antelope; highly prestigious honors, judiciously awarded by the Boy Scouts.
