Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
MILFORD – Clara Kaiser, 86, Milford, went home to be with the Lord on Sept. 15, 2016, surrounded by her loving family.
She was born Dec. 17, 1929, the daughter of Oscar and Hulda Beer Graff. On May 7, 1950, she married Richard L. Kaiser, who preceded her in death May 7, 2015.
She graduated from Milford High
School and went on to earn a teaching
degree from Goshen College. She substitute taught in the Wawasee Community School System for many, many years. Her teaching ability was never left in the classroom as she was always teaching her children lessons in life and right from wrong. She didn't leave her talent at home either, as she was very involved with 4-H as a sponsor, organizer and leader.
Although teaching was her talent, she too had a desire to be taught and learn from the Lord. She was very involved in the Wawasee Community Bible Church for many years, as the church now sits on the very land of the family farm that she was born on. She enjoyed attending Bible study, was a devoted member, a Secret Sister and a Golden Prayer Sister.
She is survived by three daughters: Ann (and spouse Wes) Bell, North Webster; Lynn (and spouse Phil) Garber, Goshen; and Lisa Klingshirn, Fort Wayne; three sons: Greg (and spouse Paula) Kaiser, Milford; Brent (and spouse Cindy) Kaiser, Syracuse; and John (and spouse Connie) Kaiser, Winona Lake; 13 grandchildren; 18 great-grand- children; and a sister, Phyllis (and spouse Herb) Hueni, Osceola. She also was preceded by her parents and five siblings: Helen Kaiser, Mildred Levy, Kate Sauder, Robert Graff and Raymond Graff.
Services will be at 5 p.m. Monday at Wawasee Community Bible Church, Milford, with Pastors Josh Weiland and Jack Barthel officiating. Burial will follow in Milford Cemetery.
Family and friends will be received from 1 to 4:30 p.m. Monday at the church.
Mishler Funeral Home and Cremation Center is assist- ing the family with arrangements.
