of natural causes. She was born in Richfield to John Wilson and Gertrude
Mae [Hillegass]

in Maryland and worked as an executive secretary in New York, Boston and

January 1942. In May of that year, he enlisted with the Air Force. After
World War II, they
moved to Detroit, where their children, Steven and Susan, were born. The
family subsequently
lived in Baltimore, Silver Springs, MD and Anaheim. Clarice was a devout
Catholic who loved
children. She taught a first grade catechism class and served as president
of the PTA in a
couple of these cities. She was an accomplished piano player and singer,
singing on a radio
program called "The Twilight Twins" in Harrisburg. She made sure that music
was a big part of
their family life. She was a wonderful cook and hostess and loved to travel.

daughter Susan of
Alhambra, CA; daughter-in-law Candy of Huntersville; grandson Scott of
Huntersville; sister
and brother-in-law Vera and Fred Klobe of Lewisburg; brother and sister-in-law

Steven and Susan,
sang one of her favorite songs at the gravesite, "O Danny Boy," one she
had taught them when
they were very young. Her first public song was sung in Daniels Church,
Richfield, and it was
"A Sunbeam for Jesus." Her headstone, along with the facts of being a beloved
wife, mother
and grandmother, will also read "A Sunbeam for Jesus."
