Clara (Aschemeier) Short

Clara Minnie (Aschemeier) Short, born August 31, 1929, died peacefully early Sunday morning, August 5, 2018, at home in Exeter, New Hampshire, with her husband Byrl by her side. Born on a farm in Defiance County in northwestern Ohio, Clara was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, and sister; an avid golfer; a marvelous cook and baker; a volunteer; and a thoughtful, caring friend. Clara, together with Byrl, always had a sense of adventure, managing to live in an unusual number of places over their more than 60 years together, including Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and New Hampshire—even spending several years living in England and Venezuela.
Preceded in death by her parents, George and Frieda, her brothers Arthur and Harold, her sister Regina, and a son Bradley, she is survived by her husband Byrl, her sons David (Jeanne) and Brent, and daughter Denise; her grandchildren Chris, Jake, Abby, and Eliza; her sister Hildegarde, and many loving in-laws, nieces, nephews, and long-time friends.
A memorial service will be held at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, 22 Fox Run Road, in Newington, NH, at 1:00PM on Saturday August 11, and all are welcome to join in celebrating her life. Interment into the Columbarium at the church will occur after the service. If desired, in lieu of flowers, friends may make a donation in her honor to either the memorial fund at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church at http://www.htelc.com/ or (603) 436-1704 or Southeast NH Habitat for Humanity at http://www.senhhabitat.org/donate/.
