Claire V. Crooks ’95

Claire died June 28, 2024, in London, Ontario, Canada, surrounded by her family.

She grew up in Lethbridge, Alberta, and attended high school at Brentwood College School. At Princeton, Claire lived in Butler College, was a member of DEC, and was active in SVC, the ski team, and rugby. She majored in psychology, beginning the path that eventually led to a career in that field, including a Ph.D. from Queen’s University. She taught at Western University, using a data-driven approach to improving youth mental health, with a focus on vulnerable populations.

Claire was devoted to her family and enjoyed spending time with them traveling, skiing, or in the family pool. She also stayed connected to Princeton as an Alumni Schools Committee interviewer. On June 21, Claire was admitted to the Order of Ontario, the province’s highest civilian honor, at an investiture ceremony in her hospital room.

Claire is survived by her husband, George Goodall; their children Finn, Sydney, Grady, and Tilly; her parents Art and Mary Jane; her brothers Morgan ’98 and Hew; and many other relatives.
