In "Steve Jobs" by Walter Isaacson, the biography highlights the life of Clara Hagopian Jobs, who was the daughter of Armenian immigrants. She married Paul Jobs in 1946, and together they adopted their son Steve shortly after his birth. Clara's background and her challenges as an immigrant shaped her values and approach to parenting.

Simpson, who later became a food and beverage manager at the Boomtown casino near Reno, is another character connected to this narrative. His role emphasizes the diverse range of influences and backgrounds that contribute to the larger story of Steve Jobs and the environment he grew up in.
