IN LOVING MEMORY OF

Chew

Obituary
Clara Beall Chew was a gentle woman of simple pleasures and kindness. Her nick name was "Ferby", given to her by her grandmother Chilton.
She was born in Shannon County (Round Springs), Missouri on July 11, 1918. She passed away on November 2, 2008, suffering cardiac arrest with other complications. She was the daughter of Philemon (Phil) S. and Jennie (Chilton) Chew both deceased. She was a beloved mother, sister, aunt and friend.
Her father, an osteopathic physician, raised in St. Louis, Missouri moved to Summersville, Missouri and married Jennie, a native of the area. Together, they had three children, including Phil S. Chew, Jr. (deceased) and Virginia Lee Thieme (Jeno), who resides in Florissant, Missouri and Clara. Her half sister Blythe (Chilton) Carter is also deceased.
She is survived by her daughter, Patsy, who resides in Springfield, Missouri, and her sister, Jeno, her children and grandchildren of her late brother, Phil and deceased sister Blythe.
She worked at the Reynolds County Workshop for many years until this past March when she retired because of ill health.
Her memorable moments included a birthday letter from the President of the United States on her 80th birthday. She proudly framed and displayed it in her home where she had resided since 1993.
Her favorite bird was the "Redbird", but enjoyed feeding all birds and watching hummingbirds. Her favorite sports team was the St. Louis Cardinals. Several years ago, she attended a St. Louis Cardinal Baseball game, her first in 50 years.
She enjoyed her church, working on crafts, embroidery, and painting on canvas and paper, as well as sewing. Her favorite pastimes included movies, pool, camping, bowling, shopping and weekly beauty salon visits. She also looked forward to hosting and socializing in the Thursday Evening Supper Club. She enjoyed life, loved her job and experienced good health throughout most of her senior years.
She will be deeply missed by her family, coworkers and many friends.
