Clara Mae, daughter of Allie (Henricks) and Fred Gatz, was born February 6, 1917 in Alva. She passed away September 9, 2018, in Alva, at the age of 101 years, 7 months and 3 days.
She attended Goshen Grade School southwest of Alva and graduated from Northwestern High School in Alva with the class of 1935. Following high school, she worked as a bookkeeper for various businesses in Alva.
On August 13, 1939, Clara married Bill Tiberghien. Following their marriage they made their home in Alva.
Clara and Bill owned Clara's Café and Bill's Truck Stop located at the east end of Oklahoma Boulevard. They also owned the Western Motel just east of Bill's Truck Stop. Clara worked endless hours, served many friends, and loved the café. They sold the businesses in the late '60s. Clara later was employed at the Alva State Bank & Trust Co. for 11 years. She retired in 1985.
Clara will be remembered as a hard worker, a friend to so many, her devotion to family, and her love of bling!
She was preceded in death by her husband, Bill; her brothers, Leroy and Louis Gatz; and her sister, Rena Baxter.
Clara is survived by several nieces and nephews.
