In 1946, Clara married Frank LaTour, who was also a
WWII veteran. For many years prior to blindness, she was an avid painter and
produced and sold a variety of landscape paintings. In her earlier years she
avidly enjoyed the sport of trout fishing and could be found in a variety of
remote locations standing knee deep, casting in a river. This passion has been
profoundly passed on to her youngest granddaughter, Zoe.
Clara, a member of the Center for Spiritual Living
in Boise, was a beloved grandmother, mother-in-law and friend.

LaTour who died in 2001 and her step- son James, who died in 2013.

Poway, California, her daughter-in-law, Kathryn A. LaTour of Ithaca, NY, and
her three granddaughters, Madeleine LaTour and Katherine LaTour of Baltimore
MD, and Zoe LaTour of Ithaca, NY.
