Clarence Glen Luedy, 99, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly early March 15 in his home in Mansfield, Ohio. He was third of seven children born to John H. and Ella L. (Winkler) Luedy of Sardis, Ohio. In 1916, his parents moved to Lexington, Ohio and acquired the 250-acre Isaly (Sandy Hill) farm to expand their farming and dairy cattle business. As a young teen, one of Clarence’s best friends and favorite form of transportation was his horse “Pony.” In 1939 Clarence married Sarah Elizabeth “Betty” Barr and they settled in on the farm. But in 1942, the farm was sold after Clarence’s father passed away at an early age leaving behind his wife Ella and the seven children. The young couple in 1941 moved to their present home on Paradise View road, north of Mansfield, where in time they would raise six children. He resided in his home for 78 years, surviving his wife Sarah, who passed away in 2008.
Clarence, known to family and friends as CG, and to some as Uncle Luke, took great pride in his role as husband and father. He was a graduate of Lexington High School, attended Michigan State University, and was active in various civic groups. In December 2018, Clarence was honored by the Royal Arch and Select Masons of Ohio for his membership of 70 years. He served his nation during World War II from November 1944 to May 1946, when he was discharged after being seriously wounded in the Philippines. At the time, he and Sarah had three young children. After extensive surgeries and rehabilitation, he recovered to come home and resume his life. He and Sarah then had three more children as he established a career in the Isaly Dairy Company. Over many years in the business, Clarence learned to assess expertly the quality and taste of ice creams, cheeses and milks by their look and texture. Asking him to make his milkshakes was a family tradition. He was a proud, reserved, and disciplined man, a listener and a thinker who found great contentment in family life.
Clarence is preceded in death by his wife Betty and grandson Matthew, sisters Elsie, Florence, Marie, and Mildred, and the youngest of the seven, his brother John. He is survived by younger brother Eugene. His six children, all surviving, are Larry (Nancy), Sarah Sue (Bud, deceased), Thomas (Theresa), Douglas (Donna), Deborah (John), and Rebecca (John). His and Sarah’s family has grown to include 14 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. The grandchildren are Bryan (Connie), Amy (Joe), Kari (Chris), Kurt, Kim (Tivilla), Kelly, Stacy (Chad), Heidi (Fritz), Jason (Becca), Benjamin, Michael, Adam (Ann), and Stefanie. The great-grandchildren are Clay (Shelley), Sarah, Elena, Holly, Jared, Ty, Emilee, Austin, Autumn, Elizabeth, Olivia, Alissa, Lily, Melaina, Chase, and Owen. Clarence was also a proud uncle with 22 nieces and nephews, three of whom preceded him in death.
A public graveside service will be held on Friday, March 29, 2019, at 2:00 p.m., in Mansfield Memorial Park, 2507 Park Avenue West, Ontario, Ohio.
