Her great-grandchildren, Isabella, Landri, and Bryson, were a source of great joy.

Clara was a devoted member of Brookwood Baptist Church. She faithfully served in every department, from the Nursery to the Senior Adults. She was known for her optimism, and faced each day with joy and anticipation. She was generous, and lived out her faith daily.

Clara was associated with Vaclair's Dress Shop for 32 years, and it was one of her greatest blessings. She loved flower gardening, reading, and playing cards with her friends every Tuesday.

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” John 14:1-3
