Print
It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our dear mother, Clara Joseph. Clara was born in Brandon Manitoba, 1919. She moved to B.C. in 1927. She is the last of seven children of Henri and Anna Lagrange. She is also predeceased by her husband Albert Joseph.
Clara worked in retail stores most of her life, starting at Spencer's in New Westminster in 1940. After marrying Albert and raising 5 children, she returned to the work force for Field's, until retiring at 65.
She was a regular at Dogwood seniors events, Cameron center bingo, and bowling leagues in Sapperton, New Westminster, Maillardville, and finally Port Coquitlam into her nineties. She volunteered at St. Vincent de Paul's thrift store in Vancouver until she was 94.
She moved into Christmas Manor in 2013, and lived there independently for the next 5 years. Clara spent her last days in Crossroads Hospice in Port Moody with family by her side.
Prayers at Our Lady of Fatima, Thursday, August 30 7:00 pm. Funeral is Friday, August 31 11:00am with refreshments to follow at Fatima. Private burial at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to St. Vincent de Paul's or Red Cross.
