Judy CLABAUGH Obituary
87, of Champaign County, passed away on July 18, 2022, at her home doing what she loved - tending to the flowers outside her house. Judy was born on October 6, 1934, in Dayton, Ohio, the daughter of the late Howard House and Dorothy (Wade) House.
Judy was an accomplished equestrian, winning awards and trophies throughout the tri-state area. Later, she devoted her time first and foremost as a working mom raising her four children. She was an immaculate housekeeper, fabulous cook, and an avid gardener that created and maintained a loving environment that turned her house into a home. She also was a member of the Junior Service League, a Sunday school teacher, a scout den mother, and a hospice volunteer. In addition to her family, what made her most happy were the flowers, birds, and other wildlife around her home. She loved all animals, especially boxers.
Judy was preceded in death by her husband, Don Clabaugh, her parents, her brothers Jack and Donny, and her beloved boxers, Roscoe and Gordy.
She is survived by her sons Jim (Rita) Marshall and Dave (Kim) Marshall, by her daughters Gretchen Marshall (Rick) and Heidi (Steve) Parrill, 13 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren and several nieces an nephews.
Judy donated her body to the Anatomical Gift Program at the Boonshoft School of Medicine, Wright State University.
A private celebration of her life will take place at the convenience of the family.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Deacon's Hope, an animal rescue center, 15193 US HWY 20, Wauseon, Ohio 43567.

Once upon a time at a horseshow in far away Cincinati, Judy was without a groom and I got drafted although Judy knew I had no knowledge of what to do. She kept telling me what to do and probably lost points because of my fumbling. but if so never mentioned it to me. All of that by way of saying to one of the daughters who reached out to me that you can reach me at [email protected]. So sorry for my tardiness, but lost your note with your return address.
