Clara R. Hodorowski

Clara R. Hodorowski (Nee: Kline), 99 years of age, and a resident of Elyria, passed away on Tuesday, January 17, 2023 at New Life Hospice Center in Lorain, following a full and meaningful life.

 

She was born December 30, 1923 in Pomeroy, Ohio.  Clara had made her home in the Lorain County area for over sixty years. She happily lived with her daughter Claire for twenty-five years after the death of her daughter Barbara

 

Clara was a member of St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in Norwalk.  With the passing of Clara the family lost a library of information and knowledge that she shared with her family, Clare was the rock for the family and was the person you could talk to about anything.  When her son Stan and daughter Barbara were ill with cancer she took perfect care of them. Clare loved to dance at the Columbia Ballroom with her husband Ray and family members.  She was a prized cookie maker and loved supplying her family and friends with all of her treats. Clara enjoyed camping and fishing in her younger years. She will be remembered as a beautiful soul, inside and out. 

 

Survivors include her daughter, Claire (David) Moore of Elyria;her grandchildren, Tom, David and Matt Roth, Kristen Vieta and Eric Moore; nine great grandchildren; one great great grandson and one great great grandchild on the way.

 

She was preceded by her husband, Raymond S. Hodorowski in 1990; her children, Stanley R. Hodorowski, Raymond S. Hodorowski, Jr. and Barbara A. Lindenberger and her parents, John Joseph and Susan Kline (nee: Rovnak).
