Abstract

Clare Bridget Foley (1913–1998), solicitor, was born on 9 September 1913 at Ipswich, Brisbane, fifth of six children and youngest of three daughters of Queensland-born parents Edward Joseph Pender, solicitor, and his wife Katherine, née Nolan. A daughter of two Irish pioneering families in Queensland, Clare grew up in a home where there was a strong commitment to education and Catholicism. She initially attended the nearby St Mary’s Convent School before becoming a boarder at Stuartholme Convent of the Sacred Heart (1924–29), Toowong, Brisbane, where she was a diligent student and consistently won prizes. In 1930 she passed the senior certificate in English, French, intermediate Latin, mathematics, modern history, and ancient history.
