Mary Claire Givelber
Mary Claire Givelber has joined the Imagine Board of Trustees. Imaigne is a center for coping and loss offering free year-round grief support groups for people ages 3-30 as well as parents/guardians of the children who have had a parent or sibling die, and for people coping with a family member with a terminal or chronic illness.
Mary Claire has lived in Westfield since 2007 with her husband Josh and their three boys Jacob, Gabriel and Jonathan. Mary Claire has watched friends and family struggle with loss and wished that she could offer them a source of support. “So often those around us don’t know what to say or do when someone has died, making an already difficult situation more so for those families. In Imagine I see a special community to help them heal. I look forward to being part of that community.”
Ms. Givelber serves as a tutor for the Westfield Neighborhood Council and has been a volunteer at CASA of Union County. Additionally, she has volunteered her time serving on her children’s PTO board, as a producer of the Washington School Show and with Habitat for Humanity. She has a BS in Humanities from Johns Hopkins University and a Masters from the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University in New York.
