Daily Democrat, Clinton MO - Clara Lee Fellhauer was born on February 9, 1919, in Hartselle, Alabama. Her parents were Nancy Lorel Milan Aldridge and Edgar Daniel Aldridge. She was one of 10 children. The family moved from Alabama to Rotan, Texas, when she was a small child. She grew up in Rotan and in 1946 moved to Dodge City, Kansas. She had two young daughters to care for and a supportive family that helped her with her children. She worked long hours at the J. C. Penney Company during the years she lived in Dodge City. she moved from there to Wichita in 1950, where she worked as a department manager at the Sears store. In 1955 after some health problems she moved to Clinton where she met and married John Fellhauer. John was a U.S. postal worker. He died in November 10, 1976. After John's death Clara developed a habit of moving quite frequently. In fact, it became something of a family joke that she could not find a place where she wanted to live. Clara, however, always considered Clinton her home. Clara was a caring and loving person. She was always there if a family member or a friend needed her. She was also a very proud woman who at times had a strong will. About 10 years ago she started having vision problems and ignoring the advice of her family, she insisted that she own an automobile and drive. She made several trips to Minnesota. About two or three years ago she traveled alone from Clinton to Rotan to visit her family there and visit the gravesites of her parents. Clara was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease in January 1994. Her daughter Dorothy and son-in-law Stan came to Clinton and moved her to Minnesota to live with them. Clara spent from February to September 1994 with Dorothy and Stan. During the time her health worsened and she needed special care. Clara stayed at Southview Acres Health Care Center in West St. Paul, Minnesota, from October 1994, until her death on March 10, 1995. Dorothy was at her bedside when she died. Clara was a member of Mt. Bethel United Methodist Church in Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota where Rev. Kathleen Zielinski is pastor. Clara's life was not always easy, but she was a real trooper. She was loved by her family and friends and will be greatly missed. She is survived by two daughters, six grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, two sisters and two brothers who trust that Clara's journey from life to life is guided by the strong and loving hand of Almighty God. Funeral services were Wednesday, March 15, at Consalus Chapel, Clinton. Burial was in Englewood Cemetery.
