Clarice was a loving mother but she was also a force to be reckoned with, a 44 years Cancer survivor. She was strong and vigilant about raising her children to be proper young ladies and gentlemen. You could always count on her to be there if you needed her. She also had a fun, playful side to her. She loved people. She loved being around people. She loved entertaining and was quite good at it. Her spirit was very contagious and it molded her children to become who they are today. There was always BBQ’s and parties at the Stone’s residence in the Lamokin Village. The children of the LV(our friends) thought of her as a second Mom and use to refer to her as Bergie because she was a mentor who gave them great advice and encouragement.
