Clarice Kralovec

I met Clarice at a French Library block party on Marlbourough Street in Boston. We were both in our 30´s. She was charming, stylish & spoke perfect French. Her card had just her name in script - tres francais. She lived in an enormous sunlit studio on Beacon St. with a beautiful, huge carpet in the center and not much else. It was simple & elegant and looking back now, seems right for this understated & refined woman. Rest in peace beautiful Clarice.

RIP sweet Clarice. Gone too soon and made a difference to so many students!

So sad to hear this... She was not just my teacher, but also a friend. Thank you for instilling a great love of French in me. I will miss your sweet humor and infectious smile. You have left a forever mark on my life, and the lives of many others. God bless you and your family, you will all be in my prayers.

To Clarice may you rest in peace and to your siblings they have my prayers and condolences for your passing. She always kept to herself but she never not talk to you when you saw her at a store or at the mail box. God Bless Clarice and I believe God got another angel.

I see by reading these tributes that Clarice's warm and generous spirit and her motivating sense of humor developed grandly from when I knew her as my step-sister when we were children. This is such a sad moment, I can only think to express my sorrow and hope for thanksgiving for our lives enriched by having known Clarice Allen Kralovec.

Clarice was in our St Barnabas Episcopal youth group in the 1970's in Portland Oregon. She was smart, funny, beautiful - a joy to have in our midst.

I have seen Clarice only a couple of times since she moved across the country to the other Portland but I have many happy memories of her, mostly as a teenager and young adult. She was one of my favorites of my daughter Liz's friends and it was always fun to have her around. To her family, I am so very sad for your loss.

Clarice's loving kindness brightened our lives, too. She stayed with my son and me during my husband's final months, and provided an immeasurable amount of real comfort and support. I shall remember her as a kind soul with deep resources and strength, who loved her family and friends, students and colleagues, and all things French.

So sorry for your loss. Keep memories close to your heart❤
