She enjoyed sitting on her porch among all her beautiful flowers and watching all the birds and animals.  She enjoyed all the many pets she rescued throughout her life.  Her greatest joy was spending time with her family.

Sadly she was predeceased by her loving husband William  “Billy” LaMotte in 2005 ,who she missed dearly, as well as her brothers Rino Turrini and Albert Turrini.

Clara is survived by her children Cindy Bobowiec and her husband Marty of Ludlow; Deborah Venne and her husband Francis of Granby; David LaMotte of Ware; Kim Batista and her husband Kenneth of Ludlow; and her sister Mary Matthews of Pensacola, FL.  She also leaves her beloved grandchildren Cory, Jaclyn, Kelly, Tom, Kirsten and Erik, as well as her great-grandchildren Logan, Brianna, Madelyn, Giuseppe and Michael.  She also leaves her brother-in-law Richard LaMotte and sisters-in-law Marcella Waldron, Bernice LaMotte and Lynn LaMotte as well as many nieces and nephews.

Clara’s family would like to thank her caregivers Linda and Anna for the wonderful care provided to her.

Clara will always be “Forever in our hearts and in our lives.”

To All of Clara's Family - Please keep all of those wonderful memories close as they are going to get you through those dark days ahead - I promise. I'm sure your Dad and all of the others were just waiting at the Gate to welcome her Home. She may be gone, but she'll never be forgotten. RIP - Clara ("Clara Bell" as we used to call her.)
