She was born October 5, 1943, in Ft. Duchesne, to Hughes Penningjack and Virginia Myore. She married Joaquin Thomas Martin, he later died. She married Enos Weston, he later died.

Clarinda attended the Utah School for the Deaf in Ogden, Utah. Her love of children led her to be a teacher at Ute Indian Tribe Headstart. She was very patient and kind to them and to everyone. She liked to visit with anyone, played bingo, gambled on her tablet, created beautiful quilts, knitted afghans and hats (that she would often donate to churches), and was good at making crafts. She was joyful and talkative and made friends easily. She was a tease and had a great sense of humor. She was learning beadwork at the Nu-Mamp-Sur-Gurchew (which means “Talk with your hands.”) She was a part of the Native American Church and attended Bear Dances, Sundances, and Pow Wows. She was a member of the Red Hat Society in Minnesota and was a part of the deaf community in both Utah and Minnesota.

She is very much loved and will be deeply missed.

Clarinda is survived by her sisters, Jackie (Jerry) Tapoof, Whiterocks; Roxy Myore, Tridell; 7 grandchildren, 9 great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces nephews and other relatives.
