Renee Alexandra Clowney, 20, of Gettysburg, entered into Gods eternal care on Sunday, December 14, 2014, as a result of a vehicle accident south of Gettysburg. Born November 16, 1994, in Hanover, Pa., she was the daughter of John M. and Peggy C. (Murren) Clowney of Gettysburg. She was a 2013 graduate of Gettysburg Area High School, where she was a member of the Battlefield Chapter of Future Farmers of America, and was an 11-year member of Adams County 4-H. She was employed as a farmer at the family dairy operation, Lagging Stream Farm in Cumberland Township, and at Kilwins of Gettysburg. She was a member of St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church of Gettysburg. Renee was a pickup-driving, camo-wearing, line-dancing country girl. She was also sweet and kind and just the right amount of goofy, a dear and loving friend to so many young people who now grieve for her. She loved every animal large and small, from the latest litter of farm kittens to her half-ton Holsteins. She especially loved her brothers dog, Harvey; the family cat, Madison, and her dairy cows, Larissa, Lily, Loretta, Laurel, Lilac, Neena, Nora, Nova, Savanna, Sera, Storm, Spark, Swift, Shine, Sammi and Gale. She is survived by one sister, Amanda K. (Clowney) Roser and husband, Adam, of Gettysburg; a brother, David T. Clowney of Gettysburg; and her dear baby nephew, Brantley W. Roser. She was predeceased by a sister, April E. Clowney. She is also survived by her maternal grandmother, Marion A. (Sprenkle) Murren of Hanover; her paternal grandparents, Thomas and Joanne (Weiss) Clowney of Gettysburg. Renee is also survived by her paternal aunts and uncles, Robert Clowney and wife Charlotte of Gettysburg; Diane Simonson and husband Geoff of Warrenton, Va.; Donna Scott and husband Dennis, of Gardners, and Carol Nell and husband Ray, of Gettysburg, and her maternal aunts and uncles, Anthony Murren and wife Joy, of McSherrystown; Angela Murren of Hanover; Wanda Murren and husband Darrell Crabbs Sr., of Spring Grove; Terrence Murren and wife Patty of New Oxford; Ann Murren and companion Steve Carroll of Kenneth City, Fla., and Barbara Garman of Carlisle. She was also predeceased by her maternal grandfather, Thomas Murren, by her aunts, Kathryn (Murren) Hippensteel and Susan (Murren) Roth, and her cousin, K. Benjamin Smith. She was the "baby cousin" to both families and her many cousins will miss and love her forever. The service will be Thursday, December 18, meeting at the Murphy Funeral Home, 501 Ridge Ave., McSherrystown, at 9 a.m. to proceed to St. Francis Xavier Historic Church, 25 W. High St., Gettysburg, for a Mass of Christian burial at 10 a.m.. Burial will be in St. Francis Xavier Cemetery, High Street, Gettysburg.
