Barbara Louise McClara ( Dunsmore), age 74, of Goodrich, Michigan, passed away on Tuesday, May 18, 2021 at her home.

Barb was born on October 25, 1946 in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan to the late Delbert N. and Christina R. (Gibson) Dunsmore. She married Gurdon McClara in 1968 and together they had one daughter, Christina Louise.

Barb worked for Sea Ray Boats in Oxford, Michigan for 18 years before opening her own business "Fantasyland Ceramics and Gifts" in downtown Goodrich.

She loved coins, stamps, hockey cards, varieties of plants and flowers, and Beanie Babies. She enjoyed watching the Detroit Red Wings on TV.
