She also enjoyed baking and making desserts for coffee time and Sunday dinners. Clara ran a tight ship at home, and kept a diary for decades. Stan and Clara were avid travelers and enjoyed camping all over the United States and Canada. They enjoyed sitting together watching the eagles below the dam.

Clara is survived by her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, her brother-in-law Ed Muller of Kalamazoo, Michigan, and her sister-in-law Lydia Hoogeveen of Wilmar, Minnesota.
