She was excellent at it because she poured all of her love into it. It wasn’t unusual to see her family discussing who would get the last chocolate chip cookie or piece of coconut cream pie. Family was everything to her. She loved family gatherings. Anytime you looked at her she would be smiling, talking to someone or singing and dancing. She would always raise her glass and say “Happy Days”. She was loved immensely by her whole family and will be forever missed. After 26 years, she is now finally reunited with Arthur. A celebration of life will take place in the fall. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted with Beckett-Glaves Family Funeral Centre, 88 Brant Ave., Brantford, 519-752-4331. A tree will be planted in memory of Clara in the Beckett-Glaves Memorial Forest.
