She had a warm smile, contagious spirit, and had a knack for making everyone feel ‘at home’ in her presence. Clora was a wonderful wife and caring mother. She was regarded as a very kind and loving person and was well liked by everyone she met.

The family would like to thank the wonderful help and care given by VITAS hospice and the superb and loving staff at the Solaris Healthcare Center.
