Celebrating the life of
Clara Riggs Love
November 16, 1922 - March 05, 2016
Clara Riggs Love, 93, died Saturday, March 5, 2016 in Macon, GA. She was born November 16, 1922 in Evans County, GA to the late Marvin and Rachel McCord Riggs. Mrs. Love was a member of the Harvest Church of the Nazarene and worked for many years for Smith Brothers. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, James R. Love.
In her life, Clara touched many souls. Some known only to God. Clara and James offered rides to church for those otherwise unable to attend. They often invited friends and acquaintances to Sunday dinner after services. Clara visited shut-ins and those in hospitals and nursing homes, often with her home-made pound cake in hand. She will be greatly missed.
She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Jim and Peggy Love of Savannah; and her daughter and son-in-law, Carol and Reid Blades of Macon. Also surviving are four grandchildren, Brandon Blades (Kayla), Heather B. Walker (Kevin), Christa Rowland (Greg), and Erin Love Steele (Jonathan), and seven great-grandchildren, Zachary Rowland, William Rowland, Jackson Blades, Lorilei Walker, Nathan Blades, Sawyer Walker, Logan Steele and several nieces and nephews.

I spent many days and hours with Clara when I was young and lived a mile away. Also, after she moved to Savannah where I visited her often. I was one of the first grand children in her family and she did more than her part making me enjoy being with her. As I grew older and lived in distant locations I did not get to spend much time with here but enjoyed it when I could. I will certainly miss Clara as the final member of her family generation. Jack

Aunt Clara was my aunt by marriage and she brought peace and tranquility when she visited our home, Joe and Lucille Riggs being my Mother and Step-Father. I never had the private time to tell her how much I loved her visits, she was the most caring person ever. Not having her at the very few visits with the Family will be a major void.....she was an angel on earth and not in heaven.
