Cora St. Clair

Cora L. St. Clair, age 78, of Shelby Twp, MI passed away peacefully at home on December 19, 2025. Born on March 22, 1947, to Leon and Beatrice Hood.

Cora was known for her strength, persistence, and unwavering faith to all who knew her, and lived to share God's word and embodied a spirit that touched countless lives.

She was endlessly devoted to her 3 children, and lived for her 5 Grandchildren. She possessed an insatiable curiosity for life, loved playing the organ, photography, singing in the church choir, spending winters in Florida with wonderful friends there, and loved to travel. Along with her love for her church, reading her Bible provided her with spiritual nourishment that she shared generously with family and friends.

Cora was beloved by her colleagues during her time at Tri-Star Engineering and later at Troy Beaumont Hospital, from which she retired. Her dedication to work, family, friends, and church made her a treasured asset wherever she was.

She was preceded in death by her husband, and love of her life, J.L. St. Clair, with whom she continued to love and honor after his passing by raising their 3 children with love and faith as a single parent while working full time and attending school at night to earn her college degree that enabled her to provide for them.

Her proudest achievement was being the faithful, loving mother of Lake Karen (late Daniel Webster), Brian (Jill) St. Clair, William (Jen) St. Clair. Her example of love, faith and perseverance will continue to guide them.

She was doting grandmother to Blake Webster, Joseph St. Clair, Alexis St. Clair, Michael St. Clair, and Hannah St. Clair, and was always the grandmother sitting on the sidelines cheering and taking pictures at all of their sporting events and activities. She was also cherished cousin, and an adored aunt to many cousins, nieces and nephews.

Cora always quickly became a friend to all of those she met, however she was the dear, lifelong friend to Iris St. Clair, and Brenda King, and they will forever have a void in their lives that will never be filled, but they always will be eternally grateful for their friendship.

She was joined in heaven by her loving parents, Leon and Beatrice, siblings, Jo, Sandy, Bill, Kay and Fay, beloved son in law Daniel Webster, and her cherished friends Betty Jennings and Elaine Webster.
