Clara Lou Obee

Clara Lou Obee, 82 of Perrysburg, Ohio joined Jerry, her husband on October 6th, 2022. She was born to her parents, Lucille & Willy in 1939 in Toledo. She attended DeVilbiss High School when she first met Jerry at the roller rink. They married in 1959. She worked as the lunch lady for TPS for 30 years. Clara was very active with the Walter Weller American Legion Post 135 as president of the auxiliary. Clara loved to cook but especially to bake. You were lucky if you got to taste one of her apple pies. Another one of Clara’s favorite pastimes was sharing her children and grandchildren’s many achievements with strangers. Clara made it a point to brag about all her loved ones. It’s only right that we get to brag about her now. It’s not simple to commemorate a person who meant so much to so many people. She radiated kindness and love for others. She was once stopped by security in the airport. By the time she left, they had her brownie recipe. Each place she graced with her presence; she made it feel like home. Just like Rudy’s hotdog where we are seated now while writing this. Clara joined Jerry after a valiant year fighting her illness. We know you’re sitting up there enjoying your piping hot decaf seated next to dad while he has his hot tea with lemon. You just split your Hershey bar and Muffin is sitting atop the couch like a little mountain goat. And all is well. She is survived by her children, Wesley W. Obee, Pamela Obee Sargent, Terri (Nick) Camp, Kelly S. Cancino, Karen E. Henisse; grandchildren, Molly (Drew) Beverick, Chris, Megan, Alexa (Eric Watson) Camp, & Chelsea Cancino. Clara loved her grand pets, George, Axel, Ivy, Beyoncé, Charlie, Nash, & Moose. She is also survived by her sisters-in-law, Carol Grel, Lois Aey, Marilyn Adams; brother-law Dennis Marvin. And many nieces and nephews. We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the caregivers who so lovingly cared for Clara in her final days. Last but not least, Mom was a rabid sports fan. She loved the Tigers. One of the things that people really need to know about her is that she loved The Ohio State Buckeyes. GO BUCKS!
