Federated Church members honored Clara Edwardson in a retirement party after church on Sunday, March 16, 2025. They wanted to show their appreciation for her many years of playing the organ for their Sunday services.
As the Carrington community knows, Clara has shared her musical talent with many other churches and events in the past... all who appreciated her willingness to play for them. The Federated Church was especially happy that Clara's expertise allowed her to play beautifully on the incredible pipe organ at their church.
As she chatted with friends during the party, Clara mentioned that her father had been a concert violinist. When they questioned her for more information, she showed them a picture of her father alongside a picture of her younger self. One friend mentioned that she has CD's of Clara playing with her son, who is also a concert violinist. To think of all the wonderful music that she and her family have created for so many years!
It has been a true blessing for Federated Church to have had such a gifted, dedicated musician enhancing their services.
Best wishes to Clara as she takes a well-deserved rest from all her practicing and playing commitments! However, we hear that she will still be helping Skyler Patzer become familiar with Federated's immense pipe organ. Thanks so much, Clara, for continuing to help out with that. Good luck and God bless you in your retirement.
