Mary CLEVENGER-ANDERSON Obituary
Mary (Schwindle) Clevenger-Anderson, 52, of Centerville Ohio, passed away on June 4th, 2022, at 10:02 am, from complications of ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
She is survived by her loving parents, Ann (Bob) Antrim and Jim (Linda) Schwindle, husband Tim Anderson, daughters Katelyn (Nathan) Sowards, Kristen (Jared) Clevenger, Stepson Jason (Shannon) Anderson, stepdaughter Sarah (Chalo) Mendez, brother Michael (Dawn) Schwindle, grandchildren Jack, Kelly, Patrick, Abram, Nora, Jeremy, and numerous nieces, nephews, and very dear friends.
Mary spent most of her career at Reynolds and Reynolds and the end of her career at Woolpert, in various management positions at both places. Throughout her career, she always said she was blessed to be a part of an amazing team with great leadership.
Mary loved running, hiking, crafts, creative writing, adventures with loved ones, playing with the grandkids, spicy hot food, hot summer days, craft beer and wine, work (yes, she loved her job!) but most importantly just being with friends and family. But, her greatest privilege, accomplishment and joy in life was being a mom to her two beautiful daughters.
As ALS chiseled away at her body, her heart and soul fought hard to remain in tact. Her husband said it best, "As the hearts of her loved ones broke around her, for her, she gently picked up those pieces, poured them back into her heart so that she could give back to us."
Mary and her family would like to thank her former colleagues at Reynolds and Reynolds for their kindness, Woolpert for their support and generosity, The ALS association for their life-changing mission and Whitney Taverna for her endless support, Team Gleason for improving Mary's quality of life, Mary's caregivers for their gentle love, Hospice for their
comfort, and the unwavering love and support of her family, friends and neighbors.
A celebration of life will be on Saturday, June 11th from 1:00-4:00 pm at the Westbrock Funeral Home on Bigger Rd in
Kettering.
In Lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the ALS association or the boys and girls club of Dayton.

I was so sorry to read about Mary's passing. She was a special person and I really enjoyed being with her in the short time I knew her. She clearly loved her family deeply and I am sending my condolences your way.

My heart is so saddened to hear this news. Mary´s smile said it all, her fight enduring and joy she brought to others. Although I didn´t know her well our short meeting warmed my heart and the fight she had in her.
She purchased the electric wheel which my husband had, who also lost the fight to ALS.
Mary has been on my heart for the last few weeks, now I know why. She is now dancing with Jesus with no limitations.
May the Lord give you all comfort as you grieve Mary´s loss.
Blessings

I was so sorry to hear about Mary's passing. She was such a beautiful person both inside and out. I remember seeing her many years ago in Douglas, Georgia and my Aunt Bobbie Weeks (Mary's grandmother) was so proud of the young lady that Mary had grown to be. I will continue to keep you all in my thoughts and prayers! May God bless you during this difficult time!
