Hartford City - Claire V. Sell, 81, of Hartford City, IN, passed away Tuesday, August 10th, 2021 peacefully while in the company of family members at Lutheran Hospital in Ft. Wayne, IN.
Claire was born in Dunkirk, IN, on July 19, 1940, a daughter of the late Garnet (Washler) and James F. Sell.

Claire collected Hummel Figurines, and DVD's, loved shopping, Nicholas Cage, her cats, the beauty and simplicity of a single red rose and her Copper Hummer. She was an amazing mother and grandmother who would do anything for you, no matter what the time, special memories of her 28 years in Florida, and sending packages to her grandchildren who will forever refer to the UPS truck as "Granny's Truck".
