In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her son, Marc Clauson, who went to be with the Lord on April 4, 2025; her husband of 55 years, Donald W. Clauson, and two brothers, Jack Traylor and Charles Traylor.
She was a member of Lewis Memorial Baptist Church, Huntington, West Virginia for over 30 years, and before that First Evangelical United Brethren/Otterbein United Methodist, Huntington, West Virginia for many years from birth. She was an early graduate of Huntington East High School, and thereafter was a dedicated wife, mother to her two sons, and homemaker.
