• Notes

  Daily Herald (Provo, UT) July 15, 2005 Clara Jane (Carpenter) Holley died peacefully at Logan Nursing Facility on July 13, 2005 of complications due to a brain tumor. She was born in Duluth, MN on August 13, 1914. She graduated from high school and started college at 16. As a young adult, she was very adventurous and worked all over the country, including Alaska and Washington DC before finally settling in California. She moved to Provo, UT in 1972, where she took a job at BYU as LaVell Edwards secretary, retiring in 1980. Clara was loved by all those whose lives she touched. Although we are very happy for her, she will be sorely missed by her husband, Earl H. Holley, her children, Betty Christenson, Melinda DeWit, Jeff Hanes, Maureen Waters, Leah Gifford, Cherryl Muhlstein, Cliff Holley and her 42 grandchildren, 69 great grandchildren and 2 great- great grandchildren. She is preceded in death by Bruce Holley.
