My husband and I send our deepest condolences to Clara’s Family. Clara as many would relate to, was a Wonderful Caregiver for our GD a few years ago.

My thoughts are with the family. Clara supported early on my interest in music – part of the Home & School Association audience for one of my first gigs – and later she invited me to fill in on organ at the United Church. Fond memories. She moved mountains.

Growing up in Foley in the ’60’s and ’70’s, most of us “kids” were impacted by the community spirit displayed by both Clara and Dan. In our house, there was always that special connection on March 4 as Clara and our Mom shared a birthday (10 years apart!). Our condolences to Clara’s family.

So sorry to learn of Clara’s passing. She was a wonderful person and we are so glad to have known her these many years. Our friendship goes back to her leadership in Girl Guides in Foley – even running summer Guide camp on our property – and her leadership and involvement in the Otter Lake United Church and at Foley School. She gave so much to the community. Loved her smile, her warmth, her energy. We will miss her greatly. Sincere sympathy to all her large family.
