Eldora Dell Clemit

Clemit, Eldora Dell
Eldora Dell Clemit passed away surrounded by her loving family on Valentine's Day, February 14, 2011, after a long and difficult battle with chronic lung disease. Eldora was born on January 30, 1933 in Morenci, Michigan to her parents Bert Donald Bachman and Ardith Lutrell (Bailey) Bachman. The family moved to Arizona for health reasons in 1943, and Eldora attended Isaac Elementary School, Phoenix Union High School, West High School and Glendale Community College. She married Harold Dean Clemit in 1951, and they had two children, Deanette and Timothy. Eldora was a wonderful mother, who had a deep faith in Christ that she passed on to her family. She was a member of several Baptist congregations, and until her health prevented her, was active in church most of her life. Her last church home was Compass Bible Church in Youngtown, Arizona. Early on, Eldora worked as a telephone operator, and later as a bookkeeper for a major finance company and a credit union, but finally found the career she enjoyed most was selling homes as a licensed realtor. In her later years, Eldora lived in Glendale, Arizona to be near her beloved children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who were the light of her life. She is survived by her children Deanette Clemit Acuff (James T. "Skip" Acuff, Jr.) and Timothy Dean Clemit (Pamela Diane Clemit); grandchildren Amy Elizabeth Holman (Aaron Holman), Lauren Alyssa Franklin (Brandon Franklin), Sarah Christine Clemit, and Elizabeth Diane Clemit; great-grandchildren Olyvia Camille McGuire, Jonah Scott McGuire, Landen Kidder, and Addison Elizabeth Holman, sister Mary Jane Harding, as well as her trusted and faithful Beagle, Tulip. Eldora/Mom/Gramma Dordy will be greatly missed by all of us. A lovely lavender service was held to celebrate Eldora's life, and she was laid to rest next to her parents and brother Duane Bachman at Greenwood Memory Lawn in Phoenix. The family asks that any memorial gifts be made in the honor of Eldora D. Clemit to the Compass Bible Church Building Fund in Youngtown, Arizona. www.greenwoodmemorylawn.com
