She was born October 30, 1925 to John Thomas and Minnie Hutchinson in Darwen, Lancashire, England. She married her one true love, Alf O. Skar, August 27, 1949.

She was a member for 54 years of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, where she a member of the choir, Prime Timers and the Priscilla Circle Clarice was very proud of her work with the Priscilla Circle, which earned the money for an elevator and then helped change laws which previously prevented an elevator from being installed in the church to make life easier for the elderly and disabled. During World War II, Clarice served in the United Kingdom's Women's Land Army, performing vital roles which allowed the men to serve in the armed forces. The family wishes to express their deep appreciation to those who made her final days the best that they could possibly be. In lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made to the American Parkinson's Association or Mount Rainer Lutheran High School.
