Clara Dora Lords, 89, of Idaho Falls, died June 27, 2013 at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls.
She was born October 13, 1923, in Blackfoot, Idaho to George B. and Edith England Jolley. She was the fourth of five children in the family, her siblings being Lorna, Victoria, George "Bud", and Herb Jolley.
Clara grew up and attended schools in Idaho Falls, graduating from Idaho Falls High School in 1941. Following High School, during World War II, she worked for Boeing Aircraft in Seattle, WA riveting bolts on military aircraft.
On June 28, 1945 she married Burdett Lords in San Diego, CA. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple on June 28, 1946.
Throughout her life Clara was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in which she served as Young Women's Secretary, Relief Society Secretary, Primary President, and as a Primary Teacher for over 40 years.
Her favorite pastime was to watch her sons, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren in their activities. She could always be heard saying during baseball games, "Two hands on the ball!" She loved quilting, and she made a quilt for every grandchild when they got married. She crocheted hangers, collected dolls, and loved traveling with her husband, and family, and she loved serving others. Clara was loved by her family, and was affectionately known as "Tiny Grandma" and "Princess Grandma" to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
