October 21, 1941 - October 8, 2025
Clifford Leonard Mansfield passed away peacefully on October 8, 2025, after a brave and steadfast journey with Parkinson's disease. Up until the very end, Cliff maintained his kindness, his sense of humor, a love for working outdoors, and his striking blue eyes that so many will remember. In his nearly 84 years here with us, he lived a life filled with love and laughter.
Born and raised with a strong work ethic and a deep appreciation for nature, Cliff began his career as a lumberman before moving into construction, where his skill and determination left a lasting mark. Cliff enjoyed a close relationship with his late brothers, Robert, Melvin and Ronnie Mansfield. He had two sons early in life, Cliff Jr. and Chris. On June 17, 1970, he married Patricia Myers of Portage Lakes. Together, they built a beautiful life and raised four daughters; Kathy Chrisman (deceased), Karen Slaughter (deceased), Kim (John) Edmunds and Karla (Vince) Mansfield.
Cliff leaves behind a cherished legacy through his many descendants. The family tree from this first marriage includes ten grandchildren, twenty eight great-grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren. Grandchildren: Jackie (Bernie) Pressman, Amanda Chrisman, Tanya (Mark) Decker, Ralph Dunbebin, Jennifer Dunbebin, John (Kyla) Edmunds, Dorothy Edmunds, Samantha Snell, Richard (Natalie) Geiger, Robert Clark (deceased). Great-Grandchildren: Alex Adkins, Mya Gregory, Jeremy Gregory, Cory Quaktmeir, Cyle Russell, Nathan Russell, Nolan Russell, Andrew Green, Noah Green, Katie Green, Rocco Green, Mason Syroid, Lacy Syroid, Austin Syroid, Emma Edmunds, Emmet Edmunds, Annabelle Edmunds, Axel Dittmer, Serenity Clark, Prosperity Snell, Leland Snell, Amir Snell, Brexley Geiger, Alexandria (Bob) McClure, Elizabeth Pressman (deceased), Kayla Clark, Cassie Clark, Cody Clark. Great-Great-Grandchildren: Maggie McClure, Abbas Niazi, Abigail Green, Zevin Gadson, Lola Beverlin.
After a period of bachelorhood, Cliff won the heart of Theresa Martin-Thomas, who he had admired as a young man. They were married on December 27, 2007 and Cliff embraced her daughters; Joan (Bill) Thomas, Maria (Bill) Rees and Rose Anne (Lou) Monnot (deceased). Grandchildren: Erin Baker, Brent (Michelle) Baker. Great-Grandchildren: Elle Breakiron.
Cliff's presence-his laughter, his wisdom, and his unshakable good nature-will be deeply missed by his loving wife, Theresa Mansfield, and all who knew him. His legacy of love, hard work, and joy for life lives on in every branch of his family tree and in the many hearts he touched.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held FRIDAY, October 17, 2025, 11:00am at SS Philip & James Catholic Church, 412 High St. NE, Canal Fulton, OH. Burial at Canal Fulton Cemetery.
