Clare Menely was the youngest of four children to Glorianne and Allen Menely. Clare was born in Portland on September 22, 1982 with a rare syndrome called Rubenstein Tabis Syndrome. She graduated from Clackamas High School in 2001. Clare loved her family, music, animals and especially little babies. She was a person of few and many words. With a heart the size of the Grand Canyon, but completely full. Clare was the most compassionate person you could ever meet. Her smile uplifted our lives and we will miss and love our Clare "bear" forever.
Clare is survived by her mom; two brothers, Paul and Isaac; sister, Suzi; niece, Krysta and nephews, Nick, Zack and Eli. She has a sister-in-law, brother-in-law, many aunts, uncles, and cousins. Clare is met in heaven by her grandparents, several pets and her daddy.
