But by far her favorite roll was hosting a bingo bus from Biddeford to Rochester, NH. She was also well known in the community as a devoted Catholic parishioner of St. Joseph's Church. She volunteered and managed the St. Vincent de Paul fund raising rummage sale in the basement of the church. Her efforts helped raise money for families in need which was very near and dear to her heart.

If you peeked around a corner you would find her singing Patsy Cline, and doing her sweet little dance. Clara always had such a warm loving smile and a special way to build friendships and to no surprise that was never truer than the beautiful bond she made with the caregivers who looked after her at Southridge. Dementia was ever present but her love for many staff members that cared for was a strong loving bond. Many of them called her Meme. Thanks to all those who opened their hearts and arms and supported her and our family. For all those who knew her – you were blessed!
