Mrs. Clara Stilwell Abernathy, 95, of Hildebran passed away on August 20, 2007 at her residence after a period of declining health.
Clara was born on September 29, 1911 in Burke County to the late John Henry Stilwell and Mamie Downs Stilwell.
She was a faithful member of the First Baptist Church in Hildebran and she retired from Shuford Mills in 1978 after over 50 years of service.
Clara was loved by all her family and friends and she was a very caring person, even to the stray animals that wandered into her yard. She had a very sharp mind and never seemed to forget anything.
Clara always had something witty to say even up until her last days. She was our hero and she will be greatly missed.
In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by her husband, Glenn Harold Abernathy, two brothers, Fred Stilwell and Earl Stilwell, two sisters, Pearl Stilwell and Virginia Carpenter and one son in law Gerald Childers.
Interment will follow in Catawba Memorial Park.
