Clara Testerman Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Clara Jean Testerman died peacefully at home June 14, 2025, surrounded by family.
Born on April 5th, 1947, to Isabel and Don Morley, of Adams, WI. Jean lived a life of quiet strength, deep compassion, and unwavering love. Though life brought challenges, Jean met them with grace and a steady presence that made others feel safe just by being near her.
Jean married beloved husband, Phillip Testerman, on July 31, 1965. Together they shared over 60 years of partnership, care, and devotion which carried through decades of joy and hardship alike.
"Grandma" Jean was a grandma in the truest sense: she always had a seat at the table, shelter from the storm, and space for those who were hurting. Her legacy lives on in every life she healed with her quiet grace. Jean is and will always be remembered for the way she made people feel chosen, valued and loved exactly as they are.
Jean is survived by her husband, Phillip; children Lorrie, Sarah, and Chris; grandchildren Cody (Jordann), William, Marcus, Caius, Arius and Aurora, great-grand children Adelaide, Dexlynn, and Preston, and countless others whose lives were touched by her love.
A Celebration of Life for Jean will be at 10:00 a.m., Thursday June 19th, 2025, at the Mulberry Event center, 29 Kirksey Pkwy, Mulberry, Arkansas.
The Lord is my shepard; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff they comfort
