Clarice V. Stancliffe was born February 14, 1924 in Pomoroy, Washington and passed away on September 15, 2009 in Ventura, California. Clarice graduated from La Crosse High School in Washington and also attended Nampa Nazarene College in Nampa, Idaho. She came to live in Los Angeles during World War II and later went on to reside in Torrance and Redondo Beach, California. Clarice worked until the age of 77 in a variety of banking and secretarial positions.
But her tour de force was her career as a mother. She raised two daughters who benefited enormously from her wit and wisdom. Clarice will be remembered for her warmth and laughter, her wonderful stories, her marvelous sense of humor and strong-willed, independent spirit. She will be greatly missed and revered forever.
Clarice is survived by her daughters Cathy Stancliffe of Redondo Beach and Claudia Farr and son-in-law Sam Farr of Ventura; grand-daughter Sheila Farr and grandsons Eric and Daniel Farr of Ventura.
The funeral service for Clarice Stancliffe will be at her church, The Powerhouse Church of the Nazarene, 365 S. Seward Ave., Ventura at 10:00a.m. Wednesday, September 30, 2009 with Pastor Dan Hull officiating. Arrangement are entrusted to the care of Charles Carroll Funeral Home. (805)642-8134

We have missed Clarice in our writing class "Preserving Your Past" for some time now. She was a delight and had great stories to share with us. She has left a great legacy for her family to enjoy. She was a lovely person and will be greatly missed.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I remember Clarice from the Cypress Gardens Sr. Apts where I lived about 1996. She had the cutest little black, curly puppy. She shared that one of her daughter's had a beautiful gown that she made in the Ventura County Fair and we made a special trip to see it...she was so proud. A lovely woman. Lora
