Clara married Harold Wilson in 1942 and they lived on the farm south of Wawota, moving into town in 1966. She was an active member of the Wawota United Church and volunteered in many community events.
Clara found "great joy in living the adventure of life" as she took many trips with friends, relatives and family.

"Each life is a miracle that changes the world and leaves it a better place than it was before."
A celebration of Clara’s life was held on Monday, April 13 at 4 p.m. in the Wawota Town Hall with Roy Bortolotto officiating.
If friends so desire, memorial tributes may be made to the Wawota United Church, the Wawota cemetery or to a charity of your choice in memory of Clara.
