A true lover of the outdoors, Clara enjoyed fishing, hunting, and camping. She welcomed every opportunity to explore nature. She would set out on road trips to see the sights and beauty of nature and the world around her. Clara’s heart belonged to her children and grandchildren. She never missed a chance to enjoy love, laughter, and a spirited game of Farkle. Clara attended Christian Family Fellowship in Poplar Bluff, MO.
