Clara Ruth Morris' Obituary
Claire spent more than twenty years at UC San Diego working in Human Resources. After retiring, she continued to volunteer in the community supporting various civic and religious causes. She was an ardent tennis player who also loved board games, puzzles, and anything involving math! Over the years, Claire was a faithful and involved member at North Clairemont Church of Christ and North San Diego Church of Christ. Canyon View Church of Christ was her final church home, where she was an active member from 1997 until 2021, when the dementia limited her ability to be as involved as she would have wished. Following years of dementia and heart failure, Claire passed peacefully at home surrounded by her family. Her children Carlos J. Morris, Alicia R. Morris, Rodney T. Morris (deceased), and Elyce C. Morris-Gemoets (Kevin) are grateful for her example of faith, tenacity, and grace. At this time, the family is celebrating her life privately.
