Clara T. Csanadi, 95, of Center Valley, passed away peacefully on July 16, 2026.

Born in Allentown on July 26, 1930, Clara was the daughter of the late Frank and Katarin (Kolaric) Csanadi and the youngest of ten children. She was preceded in death by her brothers James, Martin, Frank, John, Joseph, Stephen, and Paul, and her sisters Mary and Frances. She was a devoted member of St. Paul's R.C. Church, where her faith remained a guiding force throughout her life.

Clara was a dedicated and hardworking woman. She spent nearly 30 years with Feinberg & Sons before working at Climax Specialty's for eight years. She later continued her career with Microelectronics, which became Lucent Technologies and later Alcatel, where she retired after many years of service.

While Clara never had children of her own, she became a source of wisdom to generations of nieces and nephews, all of whom affectionately knew her as "Aunt Gaggy." She taught those around her the importance of family, generosity, and hard work simply by the way she lived.

She found great joy in life's simple blessings. Clara loved baking homemade bread, tending to her vegetable garden, and sharing it all with those she loved. She also had an incredibly sharp mind and a remarkable memory, recalling family stories, names, dates, and moments from years gone by with incredible detail.

Her unmistakable honesty brought laughter to those around her. She had a way of telling you exactly what you needed to hear, always with love and the best of intentions. Those fortunate enough to know Clara would all agree on one thing—she truly was one of a kind.

She is survived by many loving nieces and nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, and great-great-nieces and great-great-nephews, all of whom were blessed by her love, guidance, and unwavering presence throughout their lives.

Services: A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 AM on Monday, July 20, 2026 at St. Paul's R.C. Church, 920 S. 2nd Street, Allentown, PA 18103. A viewing will be held from 9 AM until the time of the service in the church and interment will follow at Holy Saviour Cemetery in Bethlehem. Arrangements are entrusted to the K.V. Knopp Funeral Home, Allentown.

Contributions: In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the church.
