Aunt Jan, was and is a special person. She was the special aunt that always took the extra time and care for all of the nieces and nephews that ran in and out of her home on a daily basis. She was always smiling and moving at a fast pace. You will be missed a lot! Uncle Bud, James, Timmy, Robert, Rex and Tony, we love you! Tina B. Crosby
Aunt Merle still so hard to believe you are gone I sit outside in the morning having my coffee looking in the sky. This morning I seen a cloud in the sky shaped like a heart and thought of you because you had a heart of gold and touched so many lives and had so much love to give. I still remember when I came down to pick up the horse I brought from you and Uncle Tim and our trip to the beach that weekend we had a great time. Give mom and dad a kiss from me we are going to miss you bunches. R.I.P
Jan had a wonderful smile and laugh that brought such happiness to all who knew her. She was a kind and giving person who always thought of others, and our family extends our deepest condolences.
MY BEST MEMORY IS THE HOMEMADE BUTTER SHE USED TO MAKE YEARS A AGO. UNCLE TIM I AM SO SORRY I CANT BE THERE THINGS AT WORK THAT I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER IS WHY I CANT. I AM GOING TO MISS HER VERY MUCH BUT LOOK FORWARD TO SEE HER IN HEAVEN ME AND GLENDA LOVE YOU GUYS VERY MUCH AND WILL BE THERE IN OUR HEART AND SOUL.
Aunt Merle, I could go on and on with memories of you but the one that stands out in my mind is when you and grandma took me to my first concert four my 16th birthday to see Doug Supernnaw. You made sure him and I were presented a cake. I will never forget how you always encouraged me. love you always.
I can still see my Aunt Merel chewing on ice cubes as she sprinkles the clothes with water and rolls them up puts them in a basket to prepare to iron. This was over 50 years ago. I was just a little girl and she was my beautiful Aunt, always happy, smiling with a soft, tender voice. Sometimes she would take time out to load all us kids in the car and take us to the store on the corner by grannys house to buy us candy. Still chewing on the ice. She probably never knew what an impact that would have on my life all these years later. She was a beautiful person and had the patients of an angel even then. We would go back to grannys where she would finish her ironing and have dinner. Then the best part came when she would take me home with her. I loved going with her. She made me feel like I was her "little girl" and I was important and loved.. Of course, she didnt have any girls and I was only maybe 5 or 6 yrs old. And just so ya know, I was a tad bit jealous when those other girls came into the picture ( Yup thats you Colleen, Vicki, Tiffany and Lacey) even though I was grown by this time. God only knows how grateful I am for them now. They have become a Blessing!! Thank you doesnt seem enough. My moral behind this story is Aunt Merel touched my life at a very early age and continued to touch every life she knew. My children, my grandchildren and my friends loved her. Didnt matter..old or young. Her heart was big enough for everyone.I could go on and on and on. Im fighting the tears in letting go but will never forget my Aunt Merel and she will always hold a special place in my heart . I LOVE YOU AUNT MEREL AND IM GOING TO MISS YOU Peace be with you!!!
Aunt Merle I have many memories. I will cherish each and every one of them. You have always been a wonderful Aunt. I am going to miss you very much. I know that we will meet up again in Heaven. I LOVE YOU. ? ? ? ? ? ?
To Bud and all the family we send our deepest sympathy to you at this time of loss you are assuredly in our prayers, we know Jan will surely be missed. we love you: A.B. & Carol Stroud
Hi this is Dwayne I came a part of the Clemon family around 20 years ago and I am one lucky person for that. The aunts, uncles, cousins ect all excepted me and loved me as one of the family and I thank everyone for that especially aunt Merle she didn't care what I was doing or what I have done she still loved me as one of the family. I am one lucky person to have had her a part of my life. I just want to say thank you for everything and not judging me and giving me a chance to be a part of your family just like your sister Eloise did. You are loved by all and will surely be missed. You will always have a special place in my heart.
Thank you everyone for letting me be a part of this wonderful and loving family
There are so many but I love the time I stayed a week with you I will miss you Aunt Merle we love you very much fly high
