Clara PURDIE Obituary

PURDIE, Clara Denise went to her heavenly home on June 26, 2017. Born on October 13, 1953, she was known for her intelligence, beauty and gift for "telling it like it is." She was also super funny!!! Denise leaves behind her devoted daughter, Denise Renée Purdie; her two sisters, LilliAnne and Michele Purdie; father, Joseph W. Purdie; nephews, grand-nieces and lots of cousins around the nation. The only thing consoling her daughter is knowing she is reunited with her beloved mother, Pearlie M. Purdie; nieces, Moire and Carrie and lots of other amazing angels. Mom, you will ALWAYS be in my thoughts and heart. Leave a light on for me and have my favorite foods ready in your mansion for when I come home. Love, NaNa John 14:2 "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you." In lieu of flowers, please send love offerings to: P.O. Box 923, Tucson, AZ 85702-0923. Alternately, you can give to the American Liver Foundation with a donation in Mom's name. Thank you! For details about the forthcoming Celebration of Life, email [email protected]. P.S. Mom asked me to tell you: Et adipem dominae conversus recipere!

I know it hasn't been too long since LilliAnn lost her daughter. May God give you His comfort and peace. I am also a friend and neighbor of Dorothy Gallagher.

I will always remember her reigniting our relationship after I had been away from Tucson for many years; the laughs; the deep contemplations; the reminders of from whence I came. She's one of the brightest and wittiest people I've ever known and I'll carry her in my heart and soul for as long as I breathe air on this most wonderful of planets. Whatever comes after life in this dimension will be made brighter by her presence.

Renee, I am so sorry to hear of this. Your mother dropped by the office a few months ago to visit with Debbie and I. As usual, we laughed and carried on. She was a beautiful, bright, intelligent, sassy woman and I loved her. I am happy to know that she is with Pearlie May and they are celebrating together. My condolences to all the family members.
