OrLinda and Beth my deepest sympathy is with you and your family. Ms. Fenderson was always smiling and had a kind word to share whenever I saw her. She was a lady of great style, she will be missed. I love you!
Aunt Clara, you will truly be missed. Your style & grace; and most importantly your unconditional love for our family, will always be remembered and cherished.
Love,
Erika, Shawn & Family
A bright shining star that will always be with those who love her. Clara lifted you up. She had a gentle, sometimes self-deprecating humor that let you know your own shortcomings and trials in life made no difference to her. Clara was a healer. She took account and made the best of whatever presented itself with FLAIR. A lovely, lovely lady who will be deeply missed. I hope her loved ones can imagine the royal reception Clara is receiving in heaven today and find solace.
I will cherish the memories we shared.

I will always love you momma Clara

Always remember that God loves you and so do I.
P.S. Cathi, thank you for reading the obituary.

My deepest sympathy for the family. Ms Fenderson was a Good Woman and I'm proud to have known her. RIP Queen.
Beth & family, praying that God will give you strength. I know Clara and Joe are resting. Will miss them, they were loved very much. Will be praying that God will continue to bless you. Love Mamie Graye.
Very saddened to hear of Clara's home going. She and Joe were Charter Members of the New Covenant Baptist Church of Orlando while they resided in Florida. They were bright spots in our congregation & we missed them sorely when they relocated back to Ohio. With their passing, our loss is Heaven's gain. RIP, my sister. Gloria Lovell
Beth I'm so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. May God keep you your family strong! wishing I could hug you right now. I'll send you my love instead!!! Hang in there

Dear Beth and Linda (Orlinda),
I am deeply saddened at the passing of Aunt Clara. I am sorry for the two of you, your children and I'm sorry for the rest of our families. Though we accept the passing of time and we know we will all succumb, it is never easy.
My memories of Aunt Clara are of warmth and kindness. She was always smiling when I saw her. She was never cross or full of herself nor unhappy. Is this even possible? We all strive to be upbeat and share a smile and a kind word. She did. I remember her like that.
Your mom and uncle Joe invited me and a friend over to dinner at their home in Florida when we were working there. They were warm and kind to us young silly people who thought we knew everything and thought we had the world at our feet. This is a good look on young black people. They fed us, smiled at us and then sent us on our way full of good food and old fashioned hospitality. I think I remember them being suspect of my date. They gave her the side-eye. Still, I married her and then we weren't married anymore. They knew!
My memories may be more nostalgic than true because I was a child when I saw them most. I remember the house in Walnut Hills, getting candy at the pony-keg, Aunt Clara ever fashionable and smiling, Uncle Joe, Uncle Walt, Uncle Sammy, parties at Aunt Mary and Uncle Ted's house, all the food Aunt Mary always cooked and Uncle Joe ate, sneaking beer and wine, my mother (Sadie) not taking a drop of anything and my dad, Julius, in turtle necks or dickies. The smells of summer and winter are vivid and my uncles and aunts were young people, sharp, driving beautiful cars and cooler than any character Hollywood could ever create because they all had hustle and heart. I moved away from Cincinnati the summer of 1980. I was not around much after that but I have a feeling about Uncle Joe and I can still see Aunt Clara smile. It had to be real, because I have a good feeling about them. It's warm.
God Bless you Beth, God Bless you Linda (Orlinda). I love you both.

To the Fenderson Family; Your Mother was a wonderful woman with a great spirit. Lean on each other and God during this time.

I met Clara (and Joe) when I was 16 years old. I cherish each moment that she was part of my life. I will never forget her kindness, generosity, and loving spirit. She became a wonderful mother in-law, grandmother, and friend. There will always be an indelible imprint in my memory of her. I will miss her in this world. What is lovely never dies but passes into another loveliness. I am sure I will see her in the Kingdom to come.
My thoughts, prayers, and love are with the Family always.
