Life
Clara was born in Melrose Park, Illinois on August 18, 1915 to Giuseppe and Giuseppina Bonfanti, who recently moved from Sicily. The family had a bad life during the Great Depression,[2] but ended up safe and healthy because Giuseppina made their meals last longer.
In 2007, her grandson Christopher started making the web series Great Depression Cooking with Clara, in which she made those meals.[3][4][5] She retired shortly after her 96th birthday. Their last video, Fried Fish, was posted on April 18, 2019. On March 25, 2020, Christopher said he would start uploading more videos of Clara.[6]
Death
Clara died on November 29, 2013 at 98 years old. Her daughter-in-law, four grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren were still alive.[2]
