Clara E. Rosipal

She was preceded in death by her husband, Clement Rosipal. They had retired to Leakey, TX.  There they spent the latter of their 66 years of devoted marriage.

She was not only devoted to her husband, but her Lord and Savior and her family. She came from a large close knit family. She strived to maintain that closeness with her extended family.     

Clara loved flowers, poetry, and reading. She was constantly scribbling on anything she could get her hands on. She hardly ever finished any of those items, but that was “Granny”.

She had a hard time getting around for several years, but never let it stop her and Daddy from going and doing the everyday things they loved to do together. Her love for her friends and family kept her mind sharp right up to her passing. In the 91 years God blessed her with, she experienced a multitude of changes in technology, politics, and events around the world. During it all her faith in Jesus Christ never wavered. She was always the person countless people would call on when they needed prayer and she was so thankful for those who returned those thoughts and prayers when she needed them.

A New Commandment I give unto you. That ye love one another; as I have loved you. By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.

John 13:34-35
