Carolyn Sue Clouser
Carolyn Sue (nee Conway) Clouser was born at the northeast section of Wildcat Township in Tipton County on Sept. 19,1933, and she lived 87 years of her life within 5 miles of where she was born.
Her parents were Manville E. Conway and Anabel Kleyla.
She is survived by her brother, Larry Conway (Dolores), in Parish, Fla.; and notable sisters-in-law, Betty Lou, Dolores Marlene, Valetta Jane and Forrest Ellen Clouser, of Tipton, Ind.
She married Lamoine Clouser at the Windfall Methodist Church on Nov. 30, 1951. They had three sons, Sidney Clouser (Anne), of Chardon, Rodney Clouser (deceased) and Matthew Clouser (Kim), of Burleson, Texas; three grandsons, Benjamin Clouser (Fatima), of Chicago, Ill., and Clayton and Travis Clouser, of Burleson, Texas; and, at last, a little great-granddaughter, Rosemin Clouser, of Chicago, Ill.
She lost her husband, Lamoine, on May 10, 2018, after 67 years of marriage.
Sue managed the family farm alone in her home when, in 2021, she realized she would need a knee replacement and the help of nearby family for her recovery. It was a heartache for her to think of leaving her home and the community she loved and had lived in for all her life, and to the end of that life she always called Indiana home. Still, she knew she needed family near her and she bought a condominium in Chardon, just three miles from her oldest son, and made the move.
At 87 years old, and with a new mobility, Sue embraced her new community, meeting and becoming friendly with the people living in her new neighborhood, joining Pilgrim Christian Church, attending exercise classes at the local YMCA and taking classes and trips with the Chardon Senior Center.
Sue’s remarkable life came to a close on April 3, 2024, after a brief illness. Her entire family was able to be with her in the last week of her life and that day spent together filled her heart with great joy.
