CAROL CLEVENGER

She was born April 23, 1939, in Leechburg, PA, a daughter of the late Darwin and Vada Mae (Neff) Burge, Sr. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by two daughters, Debbie Garnek and an infant Cherry Ann Cleven- ger; a brother, Darwin Burge, Jr.; and two granddaughter, Elizabeth Mazurik and Rachael Craft.

Carol will be re- membered as a loving wife, mother and grandmother who cherished her family above all else. She had a quiet way about her and a heart filled with kindness. While Carol was a devoted home- maker, she was trained and worked as a telephone operator in Arizona and Steubenville. To help provide Christmas for her children, she and her mother, Vada, served as representatives for Toy Ladies, doing in-home parties. Carol was also an avid quilter for many years, and every quilt she displayed earned an award or ribbon. She enjoyed putting together puzzles, reading, and spending time camping with her family.
