DAWN CLOUSE Obituary
She was born on June 2, 1960, in Clearfield, to Gust, Jr. and Mae (Mathews) Maderia. Dawn was generous, thoughtful, and self-sacrificing. She was a hard-working, result-oriented person who always strived for excellence. She loved to cook/bake and often used these skills to demonstrate her love for others.
She is survived by her husband, James Clouse; her parents; her brother, Chip Maderia; her two sons, Christopher and Brandon Stiffler; and her granddaughters, Faith and Jemma Stiffler.
Dawn attended Curwensville Area High School and graduated in the Class of 1978. For a while, she owned a tanning salon and permanent makeup business called Pretty in Ink in State College. However, her most successful venture was her catering business and work at the American Legion Post 779 in Centre Hall. There, she lived out her passion for serving those who have served our country where she was loved and befriended by so many.
A private family gathering is planned to celebrate her life and memory.
Dawn will be missed by all who knew her.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Dawn had been very instrumental in my life and I will always remember our trip to North Carolina beach and learning to make Christmas bows and doing our nails. I pray for peace for her family
