Clara Louise King peacefully went to be with the Lord on September 26, 2010 in Covina California. Clara was born to parents William and Selma Moore on July 12, 1920 in Del Rio.
She is survived by her sister Nellie Ponder of Del Rio, three daughters; Janet (Robert ) Aguilar and Nancy Ren, both of Churchville VA., and Cindy (Paul) Priestley of Ashburn VA as well as three sons; Tommy (Lori) Russell of Walnut CA, Denny (Barbara ) Russell of Alta Loma CA. and Jeff King of Warren OH. Clara also leaves 12 grandchildren, 20 great grandchildren, and 9 great-great grandchildren.
The loves of Clara’s life were her “faith, family, and friends”, singing, hymns, gardening and baking. She was a patriot who could often be seen waving a flag or wearing her red, white and blue. Her smile, sense of humor, and compassion will be remembered by all.
Clara is preceded in death by her parents, husbands Clifford C. Russell and Dale G. King, her sisters Addie Mae, Leora and Lena, her brothers Howard, Charlie, Nathan, Haze, and Estel, and baby daughter Sandra Russell. We rejoice in knowing that our mother, grandmother, and friend will be forever home with her Savior.
Funeral services will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 2, 2010 at Jones Chapel United Methodist Church in Del Rio. Interment will follow in Moore Cemetery in Del Rio.
