Claire Pollard Drogula

Mrs. Claire Pollard Drogula, 55, of Atlanta, Georgia, passed away with her sister by her side on Thursday, March 18, 2021.

She was born on July 10, 1965 to Terry and Jay Pollard in Bishop Stortford in the United Kingdom.

Claire was an amazing friend to all, and will be remembered as an incredible mother, wife, daughter and sister to her family. Her sense of adventure drove her to travel the world and see new places, and her joy came from taking part in adventure races and ensuring others had a chance to see and explore the world as she did.

Among her many talents was cooking, which she began in her teenage years and continued through her life, providing dishes for any occasion that were always the hit of any party.

Claire Pollard Drogula was preceded in death by her mother Jay Pollard and her grandmother Esther Pollard.

She is survived by her husband Darrell Drogula, her daughters Natalie and Esta Pate, her father Terry Pollard, sister Helen Riley, and her niece and nephew Timothy and Emmaleigh Micale.

Honor Claire's memory by trying something new: whether it be a restaurant down the block, or taking to the air for a skydiving adventure, her wish would be for you to experience the world. Show the people in your life that you care and they are loved.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks to please consider making a monetary donation or provide a day of service to Neighbors in Need in Eastlake www.neighborinneed.org
