Clea was born on Nov. 29, 1929, in Rogers to Henry (Hank) and Verna (Peters) Connerley. She graduated from Schuyler High School. She held many jobs during her lifetime, but the greatest part of Clea was the love and friendship she shared with the many people she encountered during her walk through life.
Clea is survived by her children, Scott Misner (special friend Lourdes) of Crete, Kim (Gregg) Briggs of Pueblo, Colorado, Kyle (Duane) Pavel of Rock Port, Missouri, and Doug (Jenny) Cerny of Hoskins; stepdaughters, Dixie (Loy) Edwards of Aurora, Colorado, and LuAnne (Sam) Palermo of Omaha; 19 grandchildren, 36 great-grandchildren, her sister-in-law, Lorene Connerley of Schuyler; special Auntie Eileen Gaeth; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
Clea was preceded in death by her parents, Henry (Hank) and Verna; son, Michael; and brother, Jerry.
She was looking forward to a joyous reunion with her son and spoke of him frequently. We had many years to enjoy our mother, and now, she is in the presence of the Lord and spending time with Mike and all of the loved ones who have gone home before her.
