Clora was a life member of the Pythian sisters having been the grand chief of the state of New Mexico. She was active in politics working the polls and a member in PTA all through the formative years of her childrens education, being a home room mother for all. She was a 40 year member of the Rebekahs in Roswell being the noble grand for 3 years. She spent many tireless hours working in charities for children and for homeless in her early years. She worked during World War II for the war effort while her husband served in Germany and at the battle of the bulge. With her young son she would attend Saturday morning news reals at the movie theater for information on the war and where her beloved Fred was serving.

Clora was a wonderful wife, a loving and caring mother and grandmother and a mentor for all who needed a special friend. She knew no bounds in her love of her family, friends and her love of her lord and savior. As her favorite spiritual song was i am only 411 but Im going to heaven and it makes me feel 10 tall. Her granchildren called her momo but to her children she was mother and she was the true mother exemplified in every action.

God gave us an angel to enjoy on earth and now she is in heaven with her husband the love of her life and her son Russell whom she loved and cherished. For us left to grieve we know where she is and that we will see her again someday. Good bye precious mother, momo, sister, aunt, and friend we love you and miss you.

Pallbearers will be Jeremie Mckelvey, Joshua Mckelvey, Kevin Durbin all great grandsons and Richard Kirkendal, Tommy Ferrell and Tyler Neill.
