Before she retired, Clara was employed for over fifteen years by School District 70 as a Food Service worker and also as a bus driver. Subsequently, she was employed by Alpha Beta Packing until the Pueblo plant closed. In addition, she watched over multiple generations of children, grandchildren and otherwise, so their mothers could go to work without worrying. In her spare time, Clara crocheted exquisite beaded doilies that continue to delight anyone lucky enough to have received one as a gift .Clara was a loving, caring and giving mother and grandmother who cared deeply for her family, friends, and neighbors. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family. She will be deeply missed, but her great love will continue forever.
