Clara Blanchard, 87, of Headland, Alabama, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, in Dothan. She was born on February 9, 1938, to Norris Oder and Nodine Hobbs Oder.

Clara was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Richard Blanchard; and her seven siblings. Her loving legacy continues through her children: Barbara Ann Trammell, Jerry Blanchard, Rickey Blanchard, Melvin Blanchard, Penny Sanders, Jeremy Blanchard, and Timothy Jones.

A devoted mother, Clara dedicated her life to her family. Following the untimely passing of her husband in 1971, she raised her children with remarkable strength, grace, and unwavering love. She was also a cherished member of Antioch Baptist Church, where her faith and kindness touched many lives.

In keeping with her wishes, a private burial has been held to honor her memory.
