Birth 31 January 1922 Clara (Clare) Mae (Babe) Schons was born on 31 January 1922 at Hinsdale, Valley, Montana, United States .
She was the daughter of Michael Lawrence Schons and Hilda Olivia Christopherson.
Death 9 July 2007 Clara died on 9 July 2007 at Arlington, Snohomish, Washington, United States , at age 85.
Obituary July 2007 Clara M. Scopazzi, or Clare as she preferred to be known, left us on July 9, 2007 in Arlington, WA.

Clare was born January 31, 1922 on a homestead near Hinsdale, MT to Hilda O. and Michael L. Schons. At the age of 3 she moved with her family to Bellingham, WA. In 1942, Clare entered Registered Nurse's training at Providence Hospital in Everett after completing prerequisites at Western Washington College in Bellingham. After receiving her nursing degree, Clare traveled across the country with her friend Marnie, working at hospitals from New York to New Orleans and eventually to San Francisco. There she worked as a surgical scrub nurse for 15 years. On September 12, 1966, Clare married John Scopazzi. The Scopazzis settled at Boulder Creek, CA and Clare began working at Dominican Hospital in Santa Cruz. When Johnny could get away from his restaurant, he and Clare enjoyed traveling. In 1975, Clare suffered a terrible fall which left her unable to continue to work as a nurse. She continued living in California until 2002, when she moved to Arlington to be closer to family.

Obituary January 2010 The Everett Herald

Helen Bernadine O'Grady, 92, died on December 30, 2009 in Marysville. She was born near her family's homestead in Opheim, Valley County, Montana on July 15, 1917, the first child of Michael L. Schons and Hilda O. Christopherson.
She moved to Whatcom County with her family in 1925. She was a 1935 graduate of Ferndale High School and worked as a waitress at the Bungalow Barbecue in Ferndale. She briefly attended Western Washington College of Education. As a Seattle resident in the 1940s, she worked for the King County Health Department, was a waitress at Manning's Cafeteria, and a clerk at Frederick & Nelson department store.

She married Robert E. O'Grady in Bellingham in 1949, and had resided in Everett since 1953, where the family were members of Immaculate Conception Parish. In 1957, she was a founding member of St. Mary Magdalen Parish, and beginning in 1960 was especially grateful for the opportunity to provide her children with a Catholic education at the parish school. When her children were grown, she worked briefly with Food and Nutrition Services of Everett Public Schools and at the Bel-Nes Café in Everett for her brother-in-law, Maurice Wilson. Helen was partially disabled by a stroke suffered in 1995.

She is survived by her brother, Mike Schons (Donna) of Union Gap, WA; children, John of Seattle, Jim (Alice) of Long Beach, CA, Jean O'Grady (Mark Hudson) of Everett, Bill of Seattle, Margy O'Grady (Greg Nylander) of Marysville, Cathy Riber (Mike) of Bellingham, Steve (Lynn) of Arlington; grandchildren, Megan Riber, Jack Riber, Ryan O'Grady, and Emily O'Grady; step-grandchildren, Susan Hamm and Kiel Hamm; and numerous nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Bob; and by her sisters, Ann Wilson and Clare Scopazzi.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Mary Magdalen Church, 8717 7th Ave. SE in Everett at 11 a.m. on Wednesday January 6, 2010. Funeral arrangements are being handled by Purdy & Walters with Cassidy of Everett. Interment will be at Cypress Lawn Cemetery, Everett.

The family wishes to thank the staffs of Sylvan Crest and Summer Breeze Haven adult family homes in Everett and Cedarcrest adult family home in Marysville for their care of Helen during the past two years. We also wish to thank the staff of Providence Hospice.

Mom, you taught us to stand up for ourselves, but never to forget the laughs, hugs, and kisses.²
