Clara’s Obituary Clara Lois (Eschberger) Robbins Clara Lois Eschberger Robbins finished her course and kept the faith. She went to the arms of the father on Friday, May 3, 2019. For her whole life, she was a faithful witness to family and friends until the very end.
She was the seventh of nine children born to Ewald and Clara (Kiesling) Eschberger on September 14, 1934. On June 18, 1955, she married the love of her life, Joe Henry Robbins. Together they raised three boys: Ricky Joe, Robbie Lynn and Randy Bob.
Clara supported Joe as he climbed the ranks of the Brownwood Police Department and she worked as a teacher’s aid in early childhood until her retirement. She would often see her former students as she walked through stores and you could see the love those kids shared with her. Her faith was always in the front of her life.
She taught Sunday School and Bible studies throughout her whole life. She has earned many crowns for her kingdom work. Her faith gave her strength to handle the untimely and devastating loss of her son Ricky.
Clara and Joe loved their kids and grandkids. They took their boys all over the country camping in a pop-up camper. They fished, camped, toured and lived life together.
She was a fabulous Memaw to Candice and Chad. They she became a Memee to Lacey and Laramie. She remained a Memee for her great-grandkids Levi, Ryleigh, Rook, Lenleigh, Karsyn, Southern, Coburn and Cavitt.
In the last five years, she became a beloved Grandmama to Renner, Easton and any day now- Asher. She was an attentive, sugar-sharing grandmother to them all. Her eyes would light up when she saw those kids.
Clara was predeceased by her parents, Ewald and Clara Eschberger; her husband, Joe; and her son Ricky Robbins. She was also predeceased by her brother, Eldon Eschberger; and her sisters, Evelyn Kunkel, Emily Kreisler, Elna Weiss, and Dorothy Hahn.
