Dale Clevenger Obituary
He was born April 19, 1935 in Winchester to the late Charles and Mary Jane (Martin) Clevenger. He was a graduate of Lynn High School where Dale first met his true love Sharon (Engle) Clevenger. Dale and Sharon were married March 3, 1956 and for more than 56 years their love for one another continued to grow and will continue to flourish through their four children.
Dale enjoyed a wonderful life of farming and raising livestock, he also had a special interest in the Amish community. He was a member of Spartanburg United Methodist Church, Rural Couples, Randolph County Area Planning Commission and Farm Bureau. Dale could rarely walk into any public place without being recognized or without someone giving him a hard time soon thereafter due to being known for his practical jokes. He never came across a person he couldn't get to know or walked by a buffet that he could turn down or even manage to find a pile of brush that he could not burn.
Survivors include his wife, Sharon Clevenger; two daughters, Pam Arthur and Alisa (husband Steve) Moore; two sons, Reed (wife Tamra) Clevenger and Steve (wife Lori) Clevenger; 12 grandchildren, Garth (Beth) Moore, Shay (husband Tom) Berger, Justin Arthur, Erin Arthur, Miles Arthur, Macey Arthur, Myra Clevenger, Jasmine Clevenger, Nichole Clevenger, Courtney Clevenger, Bailey Clevenger, and Ashton Clevenger; and three great grandchildren, Haven, Isaiah and Triston.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Mary Jane Clevenger; one sister, Donna Grigsby; and two brothers, Harold and Russell Clevenger.
