It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother, CLARA WILSON ANDERSON.

Born in Gaudiedale, Scotland, May 7, 1911 she immigrated to Canada in April 1924 settling in the Picture Butte area. Married in 1931 to Lloyd Edward Anderson she became a loving and dedicated wife and mother. Clara was devout in her spiritual beliefs, teaching Sunday School and accepting the role of Superintendent of Sunday School for many years. She also taught C.G.I.T. as well as instilling Christian values in her own four children. Clara was a talented seamstress and homemaker. She took up oil painting late in life leaving many beautiful works of art. A gracious, gentle caring lady, she will leave an emptiness in our hearts but also many memories. She will be safe in Gods’ care until we meet again.

Predeceased by her husband Lloyd in 1998 and her eldest son Gerald in 2005, she will be lovingly remembered by her children, Floyd (Sharon) Anderson, Wayne (Rita) Anderson, Donna West, 12 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren. Her grandchildren will always remember many priceless moments when she entertained them with her witty and contagious sense of humour, leaving them in stitches for days.

Funeral Services for Clara will be held at CORNERSTONE FUNERAL HOME, 2800 Mayor Magrath Drive South, Lethbridge, AB., on Friday, October 16, 2009 at 1:00 P.M., with Pastor Peter Coyne officiating. Interment to follow in Mountain View Cemetery. In memory of Clara, memorial donations may be made to Piyami Place, 301 Cowan Avenue, Picture Butte, AB T0K 1V0
