weather conditions on her calendars. As
a lifelong hobby, she took many
pictures with her camera as well as
newspaper clippings from the Bellingham

significant family, community, and
world events that were meaningful to
her.
She loved family values, and thoroughly
enjoyed her time spent visiting and
entertaining family and friends, many
of whom were of Icelandic descent.
She always had a fresh pot of
percolated coffee brewing and some sort
of treat ready for those who came to
visit at her home. Clara was an
excellent baker. Her homemade apple
pies and cinnamon rolls were a special
treat, thoroughly enjoyed by family and
friends.
Clara was a grand lady! Her upbeat,
positive attitude, laughter, and
generosity will long be remembered by
those who knew and loved her.
In lieu of flowers the family suggests
a memorial to Whatcom Hospice
Foundation, 800 East Chestnut, Suite
LL1, Bellingham, WA 98225, or your
favorite charity. At Clara’s request
no services will be held.
