Clara Bea Dobbins

Clara Bea Dobbins, was born October 31, 1944  in Tillar, Arkansas to the late Percy and Mamie Williams.

Clara graduated from J. C. Cook High School in 1962. She later received her Associates Degree in Early Childhood Development from Arkansas State University in Beebe. She retired from the Pulaski County Special School District in May 1999.

Clara accepted Christ at an early age and later became a member of St. Mark Baptist Church in Little Rock, Arkansas. 

Clara loved spending time with her cherished daughters and magnificent grandchildren as well as talking on the phone, all day, with her siblings, family, and friends. Her favorite hobby was cooking, especially baking Cakes (German Chocolate, Red Velvet, Italian Cream and Pound). Kind and generous to a fault, she had a mild and gentle manner that made it impossible not to love her.  She was extremely close to many of her nieces and nephews and was always so proud of them.
