Joann Elizabeth Clover, beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away on August 17th, leaving behind a lifetime of memories and a family forever grateful for her love. Born on February 28, 1936, to Charles and Mildred Rice, she lived a full and vibrant life before passing away peacefully at the age of 90. She was a woman of rare authenticity, known by all for having absolutely no filter. She told you exactly how it was, but her fierce honesty was only matched by her profound compassion and endless capacity for generosity.
A dedicated and proud stay-at-home mother, her heart and home were always wide open. She didn't just raise her own two children; she welcomed, fed, and mothered every friend they brought home over the years, leaving a lasting impact on countless lives.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Bruce, who passed away on Valentine’s Day in 2010. She was also preceded by her parents and her two brothers, Chuck and John Rice.
Her legacy lives on through her devoted family, of whom she was incredibly proud. She is survived by her loving sister, Teresa. She leaves behind her son, Mark Clover, and his wife Nancy, and her daughter, Amy Adcock, and her husband Greg. Her memory will be cherished by her grandsons, Aaron Clover, Ryan Harrell, Cody Adcock, Daniel Clover, and Brandon Bauer. She was also the adored great-grandmother to Freya Clover, Sebastian Adcock, Sophia Adcock, Ellie Adcock, and Harper Adcock.
She will be sorely missed, but her strength, love, and unforgettable spirit will never be forgotten by those who loved her.
Please join us for a celebration of life on Saturday, August 29, between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. at Longview Lake, Shelter 13.
