Heaven gained an angel when Clarissa Jane Ninde, age 47, passed away on Monday December 21, 2020 in her home. She was born on March, 10, 1973 to Janice (Vogelgesang) and Richard Ninde in Richmond, Indiana. She was the youngest of two daughters.
Clarissa graduated from Centerville Senior High School in 1991, and has worked with the public throughout her life. It was common for her to stop and talk to people she met from working at County Market, Perfect Circle Credit Union, LowBob's, Dunn Center/Centerstone, and Seton Catholic After School Care anytime she went out. She knew no stranger and was loved by many.
She most enjoyed spending time visiting with family and friends, particularly her three young adult children: Nolan Hannah, Loren Olivia Brown, and Darius Brown; and her mother, Janice. Other hobbies included board games, playing cards, listening to music, and she loved to watch "Law & Order".
Clarissa is survived by her children Nolan, Olivia, and Darius; her mother Janice; her sister and brother-in-law, Natalie and Jeff Blakely; two nieces and a nephew; her best friend Amanda Cooper-Cox and countless others. Clarissa is preceded in death by her father Richard; her special friend, Hollis Brown, Jr; and her grandparents and various aunts and uncles.
A private liturgy of Christian burial will be held at the convenience of the family. Burial will be in Earlham Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to the family to help offset the cost of funeral expenses and may be mailed to Natalie Blakely, PO Box 1233, Richmond Indiana 47375.
