Clara Nuzum Obituary
It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Clara Jean (Owens) Nuzum, on September 4, 2025, at the age of 70, in Hibbing, Minn.
Clara Jean (Owens) Nuzum was born on February 16, 1955, in Shinnston, West Virginia, to Edward Thomas Owens and Teresa Lopez.

While living in Hibbing Clara was a stay at home mother and at one point went to the Hibbing Vo-tech for Culinary skills.
