Clara was preceded in death by her husband of 59 years, Tommy Joe Yandell Sr. Her children, family, and friends will remember her as a loving and giving person. Her children said that she was the "glue of the family." She was "very determined" and "put them on the right path" in life. She was a "good Christian lady" who made sure to pass on her faith in Christ to her children. Not only did she pass on her love of Jesus to her own children but to many other children she encountered as a Sunday School teacher. Clara will be missed by many and memory cherished forever by her family.
Family and friends will gather to remember Clara on Thursday, December 19, 2024 from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM at Ted Dickey Funeral Home, 2128 18th Street, Plano, TX 75074, followed by a committal service which will take place at Plano Mutual Cemetery.
