At the time, Thomann was six months pregnant and teaching science at Dos Pueblos High School in Goleta.

To spend the last few days with her before she died, her family hurried to Crete.

Clara liked teaching and helping others, according to a heartfelt ode they put online.

She would want us all to find reasons to get together, hug one another, and celebrate since she was always there for her family and friends.

Thomann and the infant were cremated in Athens on Friday, according to her distraught husband Elliot Finn.

At the time of the disaster, Finn was hiking.

In the days ahead, the family intends to scatter the ashes throughout Greece and Turkey.

According to Finn, her loved ones have been doing everything Thomann enjoyed for the past ten days.

We’ve been hiking to beaches, gathering shells, rocks, and other memories while commemorating Clara, he said.

Bill Woodard, principal of Dos Pueblos, discussed the “heartbreaking” loss with Noozhawk.

“Words cannot express the sadness we are all experiencing,” he remarked.

Ms. Thomann enjoyed science and her pupils, and she was a wonderful teacher. For her family and those of us who are grieving this loss, our hearts bleed.
