She is survived by four children, Rhett Clevenger of Richwood, Reta Clevenger of Lima, Scott (Melissa) Sullivan of Marysville and Michelle (Kevin) Burkard of Milford Center; her grandchildren, Derik and Aaron Sullivan, Adam Davis, and Todd and Erica Burkard; and many special friends and dedicated caregivers at The Gables at Green Pastures.
