Anna Mae, known best as “Doc” to those who knew her, grew up in Beech Hills and attended Monroe City High School. Doc was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Joseph Clinard, with whom she shared 76 cherished years. Together, they built a beautiful life and found their greatest joy in their family. She enjoyed watching her boys grow up and watching their sports. It brought her great joy to get to watch her grandkids’ sports too, and they seldom ever missed a game. Even though she was unable to attend her great-grandchildren’s sporting events, she loved hearing about them. Anna Mae also loved quilting, embroidering, baking, and watching IU basketball. She was a member of the Washington Chapter 210 of the Order of the Eastern Star. Anna Mae was preceded in death by her parents, her beloved husband Joseph, one brother-in-law, two sisters-in-law, and daughter-in-law Sharon Clinard.

She is also survived by 6 great-grandchildren; Baleigh, Kendall, Caleb, Ava, Kyson and Kaelyn, 3 step great-grandchildren Olivia Adams, Hunter Hanson, and Hallie Hanson, 2 step-great-great granddaughters and several nieces and nephews.
