She considered all of her children’s spouses as her own. Thirty-two grandchildren and twenty-four great-grandchildren were blessed to be held and guided by their “Nanny”, she dearly loved each of them. Clara is survived by one sister, Rose Seymour, sisters-in-law Marie Morley, Ellen Bova, Janet Seymour, Mary Ellen Seymour, Barbara Seymour and brother-in-law William Seymour, and many very special nieces and nephews.
