Clara Mae Kegley

Clara was born in Portageville, Missouri, on January 31, 1944, to Mr. Alonzo Washington Page and Mrs. Mae Ardellar Fish Page.

Clara loved helping take care of others and you saw that in her servant’s heart. You could find her cooking, baking, but she was most famous for her cakes that she made for people. From the ordinary pound cake to wedding cakes everyone enjoyed her cakes. You could also find her around the embroidery machine embroidering things for her family and friends. When she was not doing these things, you could find her loving and caring for her family. She loved all of them but the ones that brought a smile to her face and love to her heart were the ones that called her “NANA”.

Mrs. Kegley is preceded in death by her parents; daughter, Tina Marie Carson; grandson, Alexander Paul Carson; brothers: Lacy Page, Kenneth Wayne Page, Larry Page, James Earl Page, and Jerry Alonzo Page; and sisters: Mollie Ann Moody, Eva Mask, and Edith Bruno.

Those left to cherish her memory are her husband of 23 years, Larry Kegley; sons: Philip Alonzo Carson (Denise), Rocky Lee “Bald Headed Baby Boy” Carmikle (Brandy), and Larry Richard Kegley, Jr. (Cathy); daughters: Vanessa Kristine Chamberlin, Amelia Dawn Kegley, Cassandra Michelle Rockwell (Perry), Della Pearlman, Charlette Weis (Steve), Rhonda Walters, Kathy Robinson (Brian), Rhonda Lynn, and Shannon Steele (Clint); sisters: Elizabeth Inez Ferguson, Mary Joyce Clayton (Jody), and Tammie Lynn Stiles (Mark); brothers: Charles Gary Page (Judy) and Roy Gene Page (Lisa); and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

The family will hold services at a later date in the future.
