A big surprise came ten months later when her second child, Geralyn was born on May 7, 1965. Following with her husband, Gerard, (Jerry) Murray, whom served as a police officer and then specializing with the bomb and drug K-9 unit, retired from the Metropolitan Police Dept.

Clara is survived by her son Jeffrey and her daughter, Geralyn along with her granddaughter Ashlyn. She is also survived by seven nieces and nephews and sixteen great nieces and nephews.
