  1. Oma. Best mother in-law I could have. She never judged you but always was up for a good argument. I’ll miss the banter we had. She was always up for adventure and we had many good trips together. I will miss her deeply

  2. We are sad to see the passing of this great lady. Family and friends meant everything.
    Many fond memories of time spent with Clara and Ken Sr as I was passing thru high school in the late 60’s and on to the recent times.

    Family was very important to Clara, and she was blessed with a wonderful careing one.

    Smiles come when I think of Clara using her house vacuum to remove winter beach sand from her lawn. Not sure if the vacuum survived. Not much sand moved.

    Clara was a great lady. She leaves a strong legacy.
