Clara Hale Parry, 86, went to meet her eternal companion Sunday morning August 26, 2001 from the home of her daughter Gail surrounded by her extensive family. We will miss our wonderful mother, grandmother and friend.
She was born March 4, 1915, in Groveland, Idaho to Jonathan H. Hale and Mary Rebecca Moss Hale, the tenth of eleven children. Clara married J. Herbert Parry in the Salt Lake Temple, December 20, 1934 thus starting on an adventure through four states. They settled in the Millcreek area where they raised 9 children.
Mother was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She served in Primary, Relief Society, Sunday School, choir and scouts. She and Herbert served missions to North Carolina, Charlotte and Tennessee, Nashville and in the Salt Lake Temple. They also served as Branch President and Relief Society President in the Dominguez Park Branch of the Millcreek Stake. Clara loved to make temple clothes and quilts for her family and friends. She left a legacy of love to all her descendants.
