Clara Mae Hartzog

May 22, 1939- October 16, 2024

It is with great sorrow that our dearest loving Mother Clara Mae Hartzog, 85, of Baton Rouge, LA passed away.  It is with great joy that on Wednesday, October 16, 2024, Clara left this earth to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Clara was born Monday, May 22, 1939, in Improve of Walthall County, MS to

the late John Alfred Hartzog and Stella (Cotton) Hartzog.  Along with her parents she is also preceded in death by her brothers, Felder Hartzog, Lucious Hartzog, Charlie Ben Hartzog, Melvin Hartzog, and her sisters, Letha Gray and Daisy Thomas.

Clara enjoyed attending Carson Springs Baptist Church in Mississippi and Living Hope Fellowship in Sherwood in Baton Rouge. She was an amazing seamstress, cross stitch and embroidery. Clara had a passion for cooking, baking and making holiday candies, most especially her divinity, cherry chocolate balls and peanut brittle were second to none. She also enjoyed spending time in her garden and going to the beach but most of all she enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. Her contagious smile and loving personality would bring family and friends together for wonderful gatherings in her home.

Clara is survived by her six children:  Antoinette Bellah (Phillip), Daphne Ann Pellecchia Hartzog, Stephen A Campo Jr, Christopher Campo (Barbara), Paul Joseph Campo (Cynthia) and

Tony Alfred Campo. She also has two surviving siblings:  Linda Stringer and Tony

Breland.  She was Grandmother to 22 grandchildren and Great Grandmother to 22 great grandchildren. Clara was dearly loved and adored by all, nieces, nephews, family and friends.

The family would like to send out special thanks to all the many doctors and nurses who helped our mother with her medical care.
