Clara Mildred Korth Adamson died suddenly Tuesday evening after a perfect day with all five of her children and other family members. She was 93 years old. Born February 3, 1917, in Garland, Utah, the 9th child of 11, to Fredrick and Rose Korth. She graduated from Bear River High School and attended Brigham Young University, where she specialized in Art. On February 23, 1937 she married Clifford C. Adamson in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. Clara and Cliff loved and cared for one another during their 73 years of marriage. They began wedded life in Utah, but soon moved to Idaho, moving several times within the state to support Cliff's career in merchandizing. They settled in Nampa and in 1951 started Adamson Pump Company, which continues in the family today. Clara was a nurturer and caregiver and delighted in raising her children, taking in a special cousin, caring for her mother through illness, and then caring for her father for 14 years as well as other family members and friends in times of need. Clara was an exemplary homemaker with a love of all things beautiful. She grew stunning flower gardens, as well as vegetables, fruit and berries, canning hundreds of jars each year. Many were blessed by the beauty of her lovely oil paintings, handmade porcelain dolls, and amazing quilts. She made quilts for relief efforts overseas; every wedding or new baby meant another gorgeous quilt; each and every child, grandchild, and great-grandchild received at least one very special quilt. Even as she left us there are new quilts awaiting babies on the way. Clara loved the outdoors. Fall would find her atop the highest peak of the Owyhee Mountains, awaiting dawn and the opening of deer season. She was an excellent marksman and always "bagged her deer"; her sons often said she could outshoot them. After "the kids" were off to school and the house in order, she would meet her brother or husband (when he could get away from work) on the icy waters of Lake Lowell for duck hunting. Spring meant fishing. Clara simply loved it and found even more joy in teaching her grandchildren how to fish. Clara's family and friends will always remember her catching the first, the biggest, or the most fish, if not all three. Whenever possible, she and Cliff would hook up the boat and head for the coast for salmon fishing. Clara stayed busy, and she "stayed young," waterskiing and water sliding with grandkids into her 70's. In recent years, Clara and Cliff enjoyed fishing in Alaska with friends and family and continued to go in to their 90's. Clara was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in which she served in many positions, including five years as Relief Society President. With her husband Clifford at her side, she served on three missions: one in South Dakota; then Alberta, Canada; and the last serving many years in the Boise, Idaho Temple. Clara designed her home on Winther Blvd. where they lived for 37 years and then in 1986 designed her home on Roosevelt Ave. where she and Cliff have enjoyed overlooking the valley and the lake. Waiting to greet her are her parents, seven siblings, a son-in-law, Robert Danner, and three grandchildren; Jordan Adamson, J.C. Adamson, and Jacqui Danner. She is survived by her sisters Leone Clark, Hope, Idaho, Mabel Dailey, Burley, Idaho, Phyllis Warr, Twin Falls, Idaho. Her family consists of her husband, Clifford C., one daughter and four sons, along with their spouses, whom she and Cliff treated as their own: Sherron K. and Robert Danner; Donald C. and Diane Adamson, of SLC, Utah; David K. and Miriam Adamson; Sylvan K. and Jodi Adamson; and Steven A. and Mary Ann Adamson, all of Nampa; 24 grandchildren, 59 great grandchildren, and nine great-great grandchildren. Clara loved and cherished her children, but she had a huge heart, one big enough to love each and every grandchild as if they were the only one. Services will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday July 3, 2010, in the Nampa West LDS Stake Center, 1500 Smith Ave. Nampa. A viewing will be held Friday evening July 2 from 6-8 p.m. at Zeyer Funeral Chapel, 83 N. Midland Blvd., Nampa and also on Saturday at the church from 1-1:45 p.m. prior to services. Dedication of gravesite will follow at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens, Caldwell. Clara was an amazing woman. She will be missed by her devoted husband and family. They will know she is with them as they snuggle inside one of her countless hand-stitched quilts and warm their hearts in memories of eating her homemade cinnamon rolls. Thanks to her, they will remember how she taught them to see all things beautiful.
