She was the proud sister to Frank Mernita) Creech, Lonnie Creech, Shirley Ann (Ronald) Hawkins, and Janet Kay Shroyer; several nieces, nephews, cousins and a host of friends. Clara's family was her greatest treasure, and she always made the time to show them just how much she cared.

Clara had a passion for gospel music that filled her home with joy. She loved to explore history, admire flowers, and take peaceful strolls through old downtown Maysville, KY, where she enjoyed cruising through the charming streets. Her zest for life and her warm heart will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
