It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Clara "Bubbles" Purcella on August 23, 2025. Born on May 3, 1960, Clara, also known as Bubbles, was a beacon of love, creativity, and inspiration. Her brothers and sisters called her Bubbles but to everyone else she was Clara. She is the youngest of 5 children and daughter to Wesley and Marie O'Neill.

Clara was a woman of many facets. She was known for her bubbly personality and good nature. Clara had a creative spirit which she expressed in her cooking as well as her sewing projects. She loved to try new recipes and always had several sewing projects in the works.  A natural jokester, she loved a good prank and she had a unique way of lighting up any room with her humor and infectious laughter. Her generosity and kindness were unparalleled, always putting others first and giving of her time and resources willingly. Equally, Clara was an adventurer at heart, her enthusiasm for exploring new places was inspirational oftentimes encouraging others to live life to the fullest.

A devoted Christian, Clara embodied the essence of love and care, teaching by example what it means to truly love and care for others. This lesson, along with her countless acts of kindness, formed the cornerstone of her everlasting legacy.

One of Clara's proudest achievements was raising her two children, an accomplishment she held close to her heart. Her daughter, Lindsey Ramirez, and son, Ryan Irish, survives Clara and will continue to honor their mother's legacy of love, kindness, creativity, and generosity.
