Clara enjoyed reading books, doing crossword puzzles and playing bingo. She still read the Free Press from cover to cover until she could no longer do so. She was very proud of her family as anyone could tell by the walls of pictures she always displayed. Every visit the grandchildren were mentioned. She would always ask how they were doing. The family wishes to thank the staff at Kin Place in Oakbank for the loving care they provided over the last three years. Mom always commented that everyone was so helpful and always with a smile.
