Visitation at First Baptist Church of Hamburg
Celebration of Life
Obituary of Clara M. Brown
Clara M Brown, age 77, of Hamburg, New York, was welcomed in
heaven by Jesus on September 15th, 2024. Clara was born
December 10th, 1946, in Buffalo, New York. She is preceded in
death by her father, Frank Bryson, her mother, Mary Bryson
(Moore), and her brother, George Bryson.
Clara is survived by her loving husband Michael of 53 years, her
three children, Jennifer Carriero (Brown), Stephen Brown, and
Elizabeth Wagner (Brown), her daughter-in-law Alicia
Brown(Wise), her two sons-in-law, Joshua Wagner and Michael
Carriero; and her seven grandchildren, Mikaila, Hudson, Adam,
Gavin, Benjamin, Elise, and Soren.
Clara's life was a testament to her unwavering faith in Jesus,
demonstrated through her selfless service to others. From a
tender age, she was an active member of her church, dedicating
her time to nurturing the next generation's understanding of
Jesus's love and fostering their relationship with God. Her service
extended to the church choir, where she loved to sing about the
goodness of God.
Clara was a prayer warrior. She always wanted to know how to
pray for family. Nothing was too small for Clara to pray for, as is
evidenced by her many prayer journals.
Clara lit up the room when she entered. She would connect with
as many people as possible, and you could feel the excitement
she had for life by the way she laughed.
Clara loved living in Hamburg and connecting with her close
neighbors. She always found opportunities to share her love for
Jesus with them and wanted each one to share that same love.
Her greatest joy was knowing her children lived out their
relationship with Jesus.
Visiting hours will be held on October 23rd at First Baptist of
Hamburg at 11:00 AM, preceded by a celebration of life service at
1:00PM. Rev. Stephen Brown from LCBC Church will officiate the
service.
In lieu of flowers, it is Mike and Clara’s request that a financial
donation be made to support the “All For Him” building campaign. Checks payable to The Village Baptist Church, memo Clara Brown Memorial, 906 South Mcpherson Rd., Fayetteville, NC 28303.
