It is with great sadness that I realize the passing of my longtime and close friend, Clara. We met through our jobs at Grant Wood School back in 1979 and soon discovered that we shared many common interests besides educating children. Clara and I built a bowling team and, for many years, enjoyed playing in the local Educators' League at the former Town and Country Bowl. We enjoyed many a round of golf together, often after work, with the back nine of Squaw Creek Golf Course being a favorite place. Clara and I also played golf at the former Town House 9-hole course where she participated nearly every week in the ladies' daytime league that I managed. We often enjoyed some fun rounds there with my late mother, followed by lunch together. Clara and I enjoyed eating out often, and I remember numerous good suppers at the Longbranch with pleasant conversation as we ate. She was one of my regular bridge partners, playing with me in the St. Luke's Auxiliary marathons. And during the years that I directed the weekly Tuesday night bridge with dinner at Elmcrest Country Club, Clara played as my regular. Through the years, we were part of a bridge foursome that met monthly with lunch at Elmcrest, sometimes also enjoying a tile table game for variety. To this day, that group still meets, now with only three of us. Yet, we know that Clara is there in spirit as we who remain well remember her constant and infectious smile and laughter while we shared many a good joke. I enjoyed many visits over the phone with Clara, as we kept in touch with each other between activities. She was one of those very sincere types of people who really care and are there to help a friend when needed. Never a bad word about anyone. Her spiritual well-being was always intact, and we knew we could count on each other for comfort and an uplifting thought during any difficult times. She was a total joy to be with and a true, always genuine, and quality friend--the kind that is becoming more and more rare to find as time goes on. I am blessed to have known her, and I extend my sincerest, deepest sympathy to her family at this sad time of loss.

To the family of Clara Juett. I knew Clara from Our Savior's Lutheran Church, but really got to know her best when we were in the bell choir together. I just loved her. Such a gem! I know she will be greatly missed. You are in my thoughts and prayers. See you one day in heaven, Clara.
Sincerely,
Jeanette Wey
