She was born October 15, 1945, in Cleveland, Ohio the daughter of the late Anton and Agnes (Webber) Korinek.

Her kind and generous heart touched many throughout her life. She dearly loved her family and friends and filled her home with warmth and laughter. She gave selflessly to the community and those in need.

Clara enjoyed baking, cooking, and making candy for others. Her hobbies included fishing, gardening, and feeding her birds. She always looked forward to camping with her family/friends and spending time with the “Baker’s Dozen”. She was also an avid reader, always sharing her books with others. Putting together puzzles and solving crosswords were some of her favorite pastimes with her family. Her most memorable trips were the annual “Girl’s Weekend” shopping with her daughters.

Clara retired from Westfield Academy & Central School after more than 20 years; starting as a cafeteria monitor, she worked her way up and was promoted to Cafeteria Manager/Cook. She belonged to the service sorority Laureate Alpha Pi and was a member of the Westfield Moose Lodge 118.
