Clara cared for everyone, family and friends, even people she barely knew. She often asked about others, even those she hadn’t seen in years. If she knew there was a problem in someone’s life she would worry and pray for them. She would do anything for anybody, if there was anyway she could she would always try to help.

She loved her garden, flowers and pets. I don’t think there was a flower or any animal she didn’t like, other than snakes and bugs.

Clara was a joyful woman, always laughing and smiling. She was one of the strongest people, one could ever meet. She fought a long and hard battle with cancer, never gave up, stayed strong, and kept her faith. God gave our family an Angel and after 68 years, it was time for her to go home. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
