Barbara Weckerly Clonts
11 Sept. 1950 - 8 Sept. 2008
Died on Monday, September 8th to be with the Lord.
Born in Rochester, NY on September 11, 1950, she grew up in Dunedin, Florida, graduating from Dunedin High School in 1968 and attending the University of South Florida where she graduated with a Bachelors degree in Special Education. While attending university she met her husband, Rex Clonts. They were married and moved to Apopka in 1972. In 1975 she earned a Masters degree in Education at the University of Central Florida. She taught in the Seminole County Public School system for 21 years; the last six as a special education staffing specialist.
She gave birth to her daughter, Tracy, in 1979. In 1995 she took over as bookkeeper and secretary for the family agribusiness company, but her passion was always educating children. She volunteered as a Mentor at Dream Lake Elementary School as well as doing private tutoring. As a member of the First United Methodist Church of Apopka she sang in the choir for over 20 years, wrote and directed several church plays and skits, was active in her Sunday school class, taught Vacation Bible School, was a member of the Circle of Glory Women's Group; made crafts with the Bazaar Ladies charity project, traveled to work alongside Youth at summer Appalachian Service Projects, and served on several church committees.
During the last 2 1/2 years she was a volunteer puppy raiser for service dogs to assist persons with disabilities. She liked traveling, spending time outdoors at the family ranch, playing wallyball and, most of all, caring for her family. She was a devoted, loving, and guiding Mother and Wife.
She is survived by her daughter Tracy and son-in-law Bill Shelby of Fairfax, Virginia, husband Rex Clonts, and mother Naomi Weckerly of Largo, Florida. Her presence will be greatly missed but her spirit will remain forever in the lives of her many friends and her loving family.
