Forever Loved. Forever Remembered. Forever in Our Hearts

With profound sadness and heartfelt love, we celebrate the beautiful life and cherished memory of Clara Jeter.

Clara was born in Santuc, SC and relocated to Aliquippa, PA in 1959.

Clara was a registered nurse for over 25 years at Newark Beth Israel Hospital, caring for those she came in contact with spanning from Florida to New York, receiving the Governor's Award for her service excellence. After retirement, Clara took on a new role of "Domestic Engineer, "continuing to touch the lives of others, always preparing meals, making care packages for the children ensuring they had a positive start to the school year.

Clara had a deep love for her family and friends. She had a nurturing spirit, unique humor, loved to shop at Boscov's and hit the slots at The Windcreck Casino in Bethlehem, PA.

Clara was a second mom affectionately called, "Big Mama" to many of her daughters' friends and enjoyed spending time serving them an ounce or two of her direct and to the point advice.

Clara accepted Christ at an early age and truly loved the Lord. She will be remembered for the special place she held in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. Her life was a collection of precious moments, meaningful relationships, and memories that will continue to be treasured for generations.

The entire health care community was enriched and nurtured by her skills, care, guidance and benevolence. Clara will forever be remembered because she modeled that the quality of life is not to be measured in length, riches or acquisitions; the measure of a life is in what you do for others.

As we honor Clara's life, we remember that a person's legacy is not measured simply by the years they lived, but by the love they gave and the lives they touched.

Her life was a blessing. Her memory is a treasure. She is loved beyond words and will be missed beyond measure.

Clara leaves to mourn her devoted son Marcus Jeter of Greensburg, PA and god daughter, Ebony Parham, her sister Thelma Jonesby, Arizona, her brothers, William Jeter (Joann), Maryland, Fredrick Jeter (Sandra), Ocoee Florida, and Leardise Jeter (Ernestine), her grandchildren, her great grandchildren, her great great children and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Clara was preceded in death by her parents, Annie Sims Jeter and Elliott "Boe" Jeter; daughter Tonya Michelle Jeter; brothers Ephriam and Elliott Jeter, Jr.; sister Lunette Jeter.
