Obituary of Clara Elizabeth Kipp

Clara Elizabeth Kipp Clara passed peacefully from this life on the morning of December 12, 2010. Though her passing was unexpected, she was recently diagnosed with MS after battling various health issues over the past four years. Clara enjoyed spending time with her family, the pride of her life. She especially adored her grandchildren, spoiling them any chance she could and bragging about her children to anyone who would listen. She loved to joke around--ready to pounce with a good zinger or two or play a prank on any unsuspecting person. She enjoyed crafts and was a skilled quilter, creating various blankets, pillow cases, and other works of art for her family and friends. She had the ability to strike up a conversation with a complete stranger and make any friend feel like family. Clara was born in Ely, NV and grew up in Rainier, OR. She has lived in Washington for the past 27 years. Clara is survived by her loving husband of 34 years, David W. Kipp and her three children (and spouses): Angelique E. Mishler (C.
