Clarabelle R. Pierce's Obituary
Clarabelle R. Pierce, of Oshkosh, died on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, at age 104. Clarabelle’s greatest joy was her family and loved ones. She is survived by her son, Guy, her daughter-in-law, Nancy, her two grandchildren, Taylor (Eric) and Benjamin (Melissa), and her great-grandchildren, Ezra Lee, Arlo, Juniper, Meadow, and Lillian. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Russell, her son, Michael, and her brothers, Chet and Ben.
Clarabelle lived a life with a great passion for her loved ones and the outdoors. She enjoyed spending time on Lake Winnebago and watching birds at her feeder. Everyone was amazed at how Clarabelle was active her whole life. She would walk rain (in routes in her basement) or shine (along Decorah Beach). Clarabelle loved dogs and especially her dear poodles. She cooked the most delicious meals and strawberry rhubarb pies. Every year, she found the perfect Christmas tree that she decorated with her beautiful handmade ornaments. Clarabelle cheered on her grandchildren at all of their important life events. She drove often to Madison to watch a figure skating show, attend a swim meet, or watch a school event.
Grandma, with our deepest and everlasting love, we will always think of you at every holiday, feel you next to us during every stroll outdoors, and hear you beginning every phone call with, “Hello, Pierce’s!” We are so grateful that we had so many years together and you will always be in our hearts.
Clarabelle's family would like to express their deep and heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Evergreen in Oshkosh for their support and care throughout the final years of her life.
