Beatrice Clinch Obituary
95, of Phoenix, AZ went to join her Heavenly Father on November 25, 2014. Shirlee was born to Edward Siegenthaler and Helen Townsend Siegenthaler in Detroit, Michigan on May 23, 1919. Shirlee attended nurses training in Kirksville, MO where she met her future husband, Arthur Huston Clinch. Following their marriage, they moved to Kansas City, Missouri where Art ("Doc Clinch") earned his medical degree. After his death, Shirlee moved to Arizona, living in Sun Lakes and Phoenix. Shirlee loved being a nurse, but she was first and foremost a dedicated, loving mother. She made sacrifices for her children as she prepared them for their future. She was also the perfect example of a grandmother - thoughtful, loving and a complete pushover! Her motto was "If you can't change the facts, change your attitude." Shirlee is survived by: her daughters Carol Clinch and Sharon (John Berkebile) Heineman, her son Charles (Marianne) Clinch, grandchildren Cara (David) Burgess, Shirlee Napper, Tye (Jennifer) Heineman, Laurie (Barry) McCullar, Andy (Lisa) Clinch and Nikki Clinch, as well as numerous great-grandchildren. She will be greeted by her husband Art, her parents, and siblings Thelma Arnold, Barbara Abbott, Edward Siegenthaler, Jr., and Charles Siegenthaler, her son-in-law, Ronald Heineman and many, many friends. Services will be private. Tempe Mortuary
