Clara M. Eppley SEMINOLE, FL Clara M. Eppley, a resident of The Inn of Freedom Square, in Seminole, Fla., and formerly of Emigsville and Newberrytown, after a prolonged illness peacefully transitioned from earthly cares on Tuesday, January 6, 2009, at the age of 86.
The widow of U.S. Army Reserve General Vernon M. Eppley, Mrs. Eppley was born in DeKalb County, Ill., on April 1, 1922, to Elzina and Owen Barnett.
As a member of the U.S. Coast Guard, Mrs. Eppley served in the Armed Forces of the United States during World War II and met her husband in San Francisco, Calif., when he was a U.S. Army Artilleryman. The Eppleys lived in Heidelberg, Germany, in the 1950's and traveled throughout the globe, including a nostalgic journey to China.
An accomplished hair stylist, golfer, homemaker, and humorist, Mrs. Eppley was widely known for her rare insightful humor. A nephew is quoted as saying: "If Clara spoke for more than three minutes, her listener would surely succumb to a smile, a chuckle, or outright laughter at her wry humor. You'd never hear her complain. She had little patience for braggers or show-offs. Her giving heart and trademark humility endeared her to all who had the privilege of being in her company."
Surviving Mrs. Eppley are her brother and sister-inlaw, Donald and Mary Barnett of Interlaken, Fla.; sister and brother-in-law, Orabell and Peter Paul Nickley of Yucca Valley, Calif.; sister-in-law, Ruby Eppley of Clearwater, Fla.; sister-inlaw, Ida Eppley of Carlisle; sister-in-law, Evelyn Criswell of Fishertown, Pa.; and numerous nieces, nephews, and grand-nieces and grandnephews.
Mrs. Eppley's family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude for the exemplary sensitive and competent care of the Florida Suncoast Hospice of Clearwater, Fla., Granny Nannies of St. Petersburg, and the staff of Freedom Square at Seminole.
A funeral service will be held at the Bethel Metropolitan Baptist Church, 3455 26th Ave. South, St. Petersburg, Fla., on Monday, February 9, at 1 p.m. with Pastor Rickey Houston presiding. A remembrance visitation will be held immediately before the church service at 12:30 p.m. Interment will follow a chapel service and burial with military honors at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Va., on Friday, March 20
