Clodie was a kind, positive, and loving person.  She enjoyed traveling, deep sea fishing, Christian music, and eating out.  She cared deeply about her family and loved to spend time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren and loved to hear of their adventures.

Stambaugh of York, PA; stepchildren, Chris Myers and husband Mark, Diane Buvia, and Larry Bixler; five grandchildren, and seven great grandchildren.  She was preceded in death by two sons, Dane M.
