Clara May Mason, 82, of Farmington, passed away Wednesday, Nov. 29, 2017, in Farmington. She was born March 14, 1935, in Durango, Colo. to Emily and Herbert Billings.
Clara grew up on a farm in the Animas Valley, the eldest of five sisters and one brother. She graduated from Durango High School, where she met and married her husband, Roy Mason of 64 years. Clara was an individual who loved her family and was passionate about spending time with her loved ones and friends. Clara was an active and dedicated member of the First Presbyterian Church. Community service was a huge part of her life.

She was also the past president of the Home Runners Club as well as a scout leader when her two daughters were younger. In her spare time, Clara spent time in her garden with her 25-prize winning rose bushes. Her garden was a reflection of her tremendous love and devotion to those around her. Clara will be greatly missed by all!
