Clara N. Partin

Feb 13, 1928 - Feb 14, 2024 

Clara Nell Owens Partin (96), of Easley, passed on to her final home on February 14, 2024.

Born in Honaker, Virginia (Russell County), she was a daughter to the late William McKinley Owens and Mae Owens.

She was predeceased by husband, Sidney Partin and brothers Kenneth David Owens and Park Dean Owens. Surviving are 2 sisters-in-law - Joy Owens and Regina Plaugher.

She is survived by daughters Debra Alexander (Sidney), Amy Moore (Ryan), and Kelley Duncan (Phil Searcy).

Also, her grandchildren - Nic Alexander (Denni), Neil Alexander, Kent Moore, Mac Moore, Morgan Duncan, and Ross Duncan. Her great-grandchildren are Brody Alexander, Layne Hendricks, Maggie Oaks, and Wrigley Oaks.

Finally, there are her lifelong loving friends- The family of the late Joe and Dorcas Holin; Steve & Donna Uldrick, David Hollin, Daryl & Misty Hollin; and their families.

Clara raised three strong, independent daughters who give full credit to their mom for teaching them the value of loyalty, graciousness, tolerance, and humility. For her part, any kind gesture was acknowledged with a note - every. single. time.

Clara was a registered nurse with her longest tenure being Easley Baptist Hospital where she cared for many families and friends. Everyone who knew her could recall a time when Mrs. Clara provided comfort during happy or stressful procedures. Hospital staff deemed her "The Peacemaker." Clara embraced life, laughed easily, and although she was not openly sentimental, she was known for her hand-holding and patting gesture when speaking to anyone.

Clara's favorite place on earth was the glider on her porch where she would bask in the sun for hours. Neighbors would not just wave but stop regularly to chat. 

She had been a steadfast member of Geer Memorial Baptist Church for ~55 years. Clara was a founding member of the Botany Park Women's Club. She regularly gave her time volunteering at the Free Medical Clinic, Voting Polls, and at the hospital.

Family meant everything to her, and "Nana" was simply everything to her family, who saw her as a most respected matriarch. Clara never allowed anything to get her down and saw the best in everyone. Her life was full of goodness and grace. She demonstrated this by example as we watched lovingly, proud to call her ours.
