She was born November 11, 1927, in Clarksdale, Mississippi, to Cecelia Gole' and Hugh B. Jones. At an early age, the family moved to Memphis, Tennessee and later Paducah, Kentucky. She was a public school music teacher, church organist and symphony performer.

She spent a lifetime in the fields of music and education. At an early age, she began taking piano and violin lessons. While attending Paducah Tilghman High School, she was a member of the school glee club, orchestra, and played French horn in the marching band. She attended Peabody College at Vanderbilt University on a music scholarship where she participated in the glee club and the Madrigals, a select group of a cappella singers who made extensive concert appearances throughout the South.
After receiving her Bachelor's degree in Music Education, Claire taught music in the Norfolk, Virginia, public schools. She married husband Harvey and moved to Arkansas where she continued her music career.
