National Clothesline
Obituary
Claire Anchick
Plant owner, association leader
 | ||
Born in Denver, CO, she lived in a variety of places during her youth and
attended 13 different schools. The experience fueled a life-long passion for
travel. Beginning at age 19, she spent a year touring the world before she met
her husband, Jack, to whom she was married for 46 years. The couple had two
sons, John and Troy, and two grandchildren.
They settled in Ashland, OR, where she opened a storefront hot dog restaurant
that also served sushi and a variety of sandwiches. The entire family worked
together in the business. Eventually the call of the river led the family to
move to their current home on the banks of the Rogue River near Gold Hill.
Soon after locating there, Claire and Jack opened Towne and Country Cleaners in
White City, which is known throughout the area for excellent customer service
and the catchy tagline, “Got Your Purple Bag?”
She became involved in the Oregon Dry Cleaners Association where she took a
position on the board of directors. During her years on the board, she served
as secretary and was a past president.
She was also active on and chaired many association committees including the
education and convention committees. She also edited and distributed the ODCA
newsletter for two years while it was still in print form.
She was also active in the Ashland, Talent, Phoenix, Medford and Upper Rogue
Chambers of Commerce and was involved in the local Soroptimist International of
Medford, using her expertise and management skills to advance the status of
women and make the world better for all.
Memorial gifts may be made to The Camelot Theater Company, P.O. Box 780, Talent,
OR.
