Our beloved mother, Clara Myles, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, Aug. 8, 2018, at the age of 70. She was a devoted wife of Leonard Myles for 50 years, a loving mother of Sheila, Twanda, Steed, Marva, and Leonard Jr. and a proud “granny” of 21 grandkids.

As a lifelong educator, Clara was passionate about helping people advance in life. She was a dedicated member of El Bethel Church under the leadership of Joel J. Kinlow.

She enjoyed reading and traveling and making sure her family was taken care of.

She is further survived by two sisters, Annie Bell Brown and Thelma Roach, as well as two sisters-in-law, Betty Floyd and Williette Wagoner, and a host of loving nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.”
