'''Claire Summerfield''' was the wife of [[Isaac Summerfield II]] and mother of [[Bernice Summerfield]].


Claire Summerfield was the wife of Admiral [[Isaac Summerfield]] and the mother of [[Bernice Summerfield]]. She looked a great deal like her daughter.
== Biography ==
Claire was observant and intelligent (easily spotting her daughter's attempts at malingering), but could be prone to absent-mindedness, such as forgetting to eat for an afternoon. She taught her daughter to play ball games.
Within six months of the disappearance and presumed desertion of her husband, Claire died in the [[Dalek]] forces' [[2548]] attack on [[Beta Caprisis]]. She put her eight-year-old daughter in the shelter. Panicked by the attack and dazed by the first wave of plasma fire, she was running back for Benny's favourite [[doll]] when she was hit by a [[Dalek]] disintegration ray.
