- Merced Sun Star - 2/6/2014
Clayre Rank, a teacher for the Merced City School District for over 35 years passed away on January 30th 2014 from brain cancer. Clayre was born in Niagara Falls in 1936 to Edith and Al Roth. She was an avid traveler, loved to educate herself on any and all things and was constantly striving to spread her knowledge to any willing ear. She met her best friend and husband Sterling at 13 and after graduation from Fresno State; they married and began their careers as educators. Upon retirement from the school district, she spent much of her time enjoying her family, adopting dogs, reconnecting with family and collecting trinkets. A devoted mother, grandmother and sister, she was loved to the fullest extent by her three children, Pam, Randy and Rick, as well as their partners, her grandchildren Sarah, Aimee and their mother Eileen, her husband Sterling and her sister Barbara. To say she will be sorely missed is an understatement. Family, friends and former students are invited to gather Friday, February 7, at 5pm at Ivers & Alcorn 901 W. Main St, Merced to honor her, share stories & celebrate her life. She will be buried Saturday, February 8, at 11am at Belmont Memorial Park 201 N Teilman Ave, Fresno. Flowers may be sent to Ivers and Alcorn or donations made to the Margaret Sheehy School Fund.
