ClaraBelle was born to Thelma (Rose) and Ernest Harwood on October 30, 1937 in Flint, Michigan.

ClaraBelle's life was never easy but it never made her bitter. She was the kindest person you ever met. She spent her days helping others - whether it be her family, church members, strangers, or stray animals. She always had time for you.

She was quirky, very creative, and loved to make beautiful things.

The world will be a darker place without her.

She leave behind husband, Ted Buhlis; three beautiful grandchildren she loved with all her heart: Tim, Ari, and Robby Napolitano; a son-in-law, Robert Napolitano; her best friend Mary Beth Russ, and her daughter, Wenona Napolitano who will miss her mother every single day for the rest of her life.

ClaraBelle was preceded in death by her mother, Thelma Harris; her first husband Charles E. Rhoads, and her third husband Jay F. Casey.
