Mrs. Drinkard was always kind. Never a harsh word. We only have great memories of her.
Sincerely Roy W. Johnson and family.
She was the loveliest of ladies and I looked forward each day to a fun chat with her. She was so much a part of our Re Cross family on the Northshore and she will be missed. May she rest in God's light and love.

Love and prayers to the family. I had the great fortune to get to know "Miss Clare" while volunteering at Red Cross. She was so funny and kept us laughing. She also kept us on our toes - she could really tell you how it is. Bless her heart. I am forever grateful for her introducing me to "Mary B's biscuits". Thank you for sharing a part of your journey with me Miss Clare. I love and appreciate you very much. Carry on with the Angels dear lady.
Have many fond memories of Miss Claire. Not only did she feed her eight children, but she also fed the neighborhood kids as well. The long line of white bread seemed to go
On for miles, all those tomato sandwiches were great ! She was definitely always doing good for the community. Gave countless hours as a volunteer at STPH. Always smiling, and always had a cute joke. The tribute was beautiful . My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Sincerely Debbie Koepp

So sorry for your loss.. your Mom was a special lady and I have fond memories of her during the years at St. Peter's..
I don't know if you remember me since I have been gone from Covington for 13+ years.
I believe you knew one of my children, either Kelly or Scott Healy.
Please know my prayers are with you and all your family.
Sincere sympathy,
Kathy Healy
One of the best times of my life was living across the street from Clare. She was someone you could count on to be someone that would listen and laugh with you. She was such a great Mother, wife and friend. Even though I haven't seen her in years she has always held a special place in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
