Clara was born on Sep. 30, 1942, to parents Rush and Clara (Alston) Ledbetter in Petaluma, Calif. Clara’s father was in the military, so Clara grew up in many places like California, Minnesota, Colorado, and even England. She graduated high school with the class of 1960 from Petaluma High School in California. Later in her life, she achieved her certificate in computer sciences.

Clara married Harvey L. Dunn, in Golden, Colo. on April 16, 1971. Together they raised eight children. Clara enjoyed creating her photo albums and scrapbooks, tending to her flower gardens, sharing her Bible studies, and reading a good book. Clara loved her pets, and her favorite vacation spot was Branson, Mo.

Clara was very involved at the Evangelical Free Church in McCook where she was the librarian and a small group leader. She supported many ministries and missionaries. Her tenacious love for the Lord has touched many hearts and led many people to the church. Clara will be remembered for being civic-minded, a prayer warrior, and patriotic.

Clara was preceded in death by her parents; several brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law; and a great granddaughter, Emersyn Heimann.
