She is survived by one sister, Betty Kultgen and one sister-in-law, Vi Hickman along with numerous nephews and nieces.  She will also be remembered by Bill’s children, Bryan Sangster Kelly (EnidMary), Cam Sangster, and Jessica Sangster.

Clara was pre-deceased by her husband, Nick in 2016 and son, Blaine in 2019; her brothers Ben and Albert Tschritter and sisters Barbara Kultgen and Alice Grey.

Clara was born on February 9, 1931, in Redcliff, Alberta to parents, Ben & Tena Tschritter.  She spent her childhood in Redcliff and then Foremost.  Clara met Nick Poberznick at a dance in the spring of 1949 and on October 3, 1949, they married and took up residence in Skiff, Alberta where their daughter Cheryle was born in 1951 and son Blaine in 1953.  They ran the General Store at its original location and then in the early 80s a new store was built by the community of Skiff and Nick and Clara stayed there for another 15 years.  Clara was a member of the Skiff Ladies Variety Club and was the Avon lady for the area.  She also worked in Foremost for a time and then ran the office at the Alberta Wheat Pool grain elevator in Skiff.  Clara loved Avon and she sold it in the community and then began to ship it across Canada and the United States.  She was given many awards as a top seller and took trips to conventions all over the States and continued to sell Avon until about five years ago.  Clara was very quick witted and always had a funny story to tell about the people and years they spent in Skiff.  She will be missed by all who knew her.
