Clarence passed away peacefully at age 93 on December 3, 2014.
Clarence was born to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Clauson on November 20, 1921 in Emmett, Idaho.
At the age of seven his family moved to a farm near Central Mesa/Emmett. While in high school he was a member of Future Farmers of America. He graduated from Emmett High School in 1939.
After high school he helped his parents and younger brother farm 100 acres. In 1941 he purchased a farm on the Emmett Bench.
On June 20, 1943 Clarence was united in marriage to Zola Rogers at his parent’s farm. To this union they raised a daughter Sharon and son Larry. Clarence was always very devoted to his wife and entire family. He loved Jesus with his whole heart, mind and soul.
In the fall of 1952 they moved to a dairy farm east of Eagle. In 1958 they sold the farm and opened a drive inn in Meridian which is now the Hungry Onion.
Clarence started working in 1959 at the Meridian Post Office, serving in different capacities and finished as a Rural Carrier in 1982. He held an office in that association.
In retirement, Clarence and Zola enjoyed traveling to several different countries and most of the United States. They also spent several winters in Yuma, Arizona, meeting and making a lot of friends.
He was a member of the Retired Federal Employee Golden Eagle Chapter in Nampa, Idaho. Clarence was also a member of Valley Shepherd Church of the Nazarene since 1962.
Another love of Clarence's was making items with his scroll saw.
Clarence is survived by his daughter, Sharon Rebman; son, Larry (Barbara); five grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; and three great-great grandchildren who loved him very much.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 70 years, Zola; his parents; brother, Paul; and sister, Marie.
The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to the staff at Meadow Lake Village, Owyhee Lodge Memory Care, and Heart N' Home Hospice for the outstanding care and compassion shown for Clarence.
In lieu of flowers, we ask that memorials be made to Trinity Pines Camp and Conference Center, 55 SW 5th Ave, Suite 100, Meridian, ID 83642, or a charity of your choice, in Clarence's name.
A memorial service will be held later in the spring to allow for family and friends to attend.
Services are under the direction of Accent Funeral Home, Meridian.
