Clara O Northrup
Clara Olive Northrup was born in Gresham, Oregon Nov. 22, 1901, into a family of nine children of which Lolo Nelson survives.
She taught school in Damascus, Oregon for two years. She was converted to Christ under the ministry of D. M. Higbee, and never wavered in her faith. In 1923 she enrolled in Seattle Pacific College as a student in the Normal Department, and she graduated in 1927 with a Bachelor's degree as well as a degree from the Normal Department.
While attending SPC, she met Lyle Northrup. Their friendship culminated in marriage on May 18, 1928. She worked in the Seattle YMCA cafeteria, while Lyle worked at the main desk during the year of 1928.
While Lyle answered God's call to the ministry, she loyally followed. She was the ideal pastor's wife. She had no other ambition. The hardships of the way were many, but she faithfully adorned the gospel of Christ. She was the friend and counselor of everyone. She never complained but joyfully bore the heaviest
crosses.
This was especially exemplified in her life when Lyle was elected to the superintendent's role, then later to the general church and again in the role of evangelist. While he roamed over the world in over 60 countries, and all over the U. S. and Canada many times, she stayed at home and raised their three children, Joyce, Gerald and Shirley, without Clara's devotion would have been impossible. On May 18, they completed their 68th year of married life.
Clara was excelled them all in her devotion, faithfulness and sacrifice. She leaves to rejoice two daughters, Joyce Dodge of Gresham, Oregon and Shirley Goheen of Seattle. A son, Gerald, was killed in 1954 while working on a church building near Enumclaw, WA.
Clara had seven grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. They join today as a family to celebrate Clara Northrup's successful voyage to Heaven's shores. On Tuesday May 21, she gathered them around her bedside and told them she was "going to heaven." "Let me go," she pleaded. "I see Jesus, I see Gerry, I see the Angels."
Services were Friday, May 31, at the Warm Beach Free Methodist Church, Stanwood, with concluding services in the Anderson Cemetery, Stanwood.
Arrangements under the direction of Gilbertson Funeral Home, Stanwood.
