She was raised in the Macon, Mich., area and graduated from the Edison Institute, established by Henry Ford.

After her marriage to Mahlon on Feb. 16, 1946, following World War II, Clara became the bookkeeper for the Standard Oil service stations she and Mahlon operated in Tecumseh. In later years, she worked as the bookkeeper for Lenawee Fuels in Tecumseh. Clara enjoyed sewing and knitting, playing cards, working crossword puzzles, and baking incredibly delicious Lebkuchen cookies at Christmas time. She loved traveling, and entertaining visitors and guests at her home. Clara was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who took much delight in all family gatherings.
