JACKSONVILLE  -  Clara Tressa Waggoner, a beloved mother and devoted grandmother, passed away peacefully on February 21, 2026 at home.  She is now reunited with her beloved husband, the late William Cecil Waggoner.   A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 1:00 PM on Thursday, February 26, 2026 at Infant of Prague Catholic Church.  Committal services will follow at 3:00 PM at Coastal Carolina State Veterans Cemetery.

If you knew Clara you knew she was constantly on the go. She loved Bingo and was an avid bowler.  She was a devoted member of Infant of Prague Catholic Church; she lived her faith through her activity and service. If she wasn't doing something she would always let you know she was bored.  She is well known for her pizza every Saturday night.

She leaves behind her daughters, Alissa Marie Kellum and spouse Tony Kellum of Jacksonville, NC, Tressa Ann Stallings and spouse James Stallings of Wake Forest, NC, sons, William C. Waggoner, Jr. and spouse Donna Waggoner of Jacksonville, NC and John L. Waggoner of Jacksonville, NC; grandchildren, Mason Kellum, Kristina Stallings and Shawna Cserenyi and spouse Andrew Cserenyi.

The family will receive friends Thursday prior to the service, beginning at 12:00 PM at Jones Funeral Home, Jacksonville Chapel.

She will forever be in our hearts and missed every day.
