Clara Lee (Flournoy) Prestidge was the fourth of five children born to Thomas Wright Flournoy and Cordia Lee Gardner Flournoy. She is pre-deceased by her parents and her sisters Dorothy (Flournoy) Armstrong, and Charlean (Flournoy) Wigfall, and one brother Thomas Wright Flournoy, Jr. She has one surviving sister Shirley (Flournoy) Smith (Gustave) of West Covina California.
Clara was born in Fort Worth, Texas, and attended Fort Worth ISD schools, and graduated from I.M. Terrell. She had an interest in doing hair, and spent some time in Beauty/Barber School. But her passion was caring for others, and she was able to demonstrate her passion through her work as a Nursing Assistant at John Peter Smith Hospital. She worked in Labor and Delivery, the Outpatient Clinics, and various other areas of the hospital for 32 years, until she retired in 1997.
She loved to cook, barbeque, listen to music, and travel. She did some extensive traveling in her younger years, to various states, and even to Europe. In her later years, she made several trips to California to visit her sister, and even took a cruise with her sister and brother-in-law.
On Monday, October 19, 2020 God selected a beautiful flower to place in HIS heavenly garden.
Those left cherish her precious memory are: her sister; Shirley Smith (Gustave), three daughters; Paula Henderson, Patricia McElroy (Carl), and Yolanda Prestidge. She also has two grandsons; Kenneth Henderson (Kiana), Keith Henderson (Vanessa), one granddaughter; LaTonya Prestidge, and four great grand children. And a host of other relatives, and friends.
