Clara “CB” Bell Ramsey Hollifield, 99, passed away on Friday, November 28, 2025, at her residence in Newville, Pennsylvania.

Clara had a true zest for life. She was adventurous and loved taking cross-country trips, traveling all over the country. She enjoyed her Saturday night TV shows, especially the Gaither Homecoming series and The Statler Brothers Show. She also loved gardening and took great pride in canning her vegetables and tomatoes, something she continued doing even at the age of 99!

Clara was a caregiver at heart. She would sit with anyone who needed company and never hesitated to help others. She was known (in her own feisty way) for speaking her mind, A caregiver by nature, she spent countless hours sitting with those who needed companionship, comfort, or simply the presence of a true friend.
