Following the death of her husband Curtis in 1997, Clara moved from Ozark to Van Buren to be closer to family. Clara was also known as "Nanny" to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. We were all so blessed to have Nanny in our lives and can’t even begin to imagine her joy as she is reunited with her husband Curtis. Nanny will always be remembered for being a very classy, beautiful lady and often referred to as a true Southern Belle. Nanny was a member of the Church of Christ.
