Clarence Edward Coleman
Clarence Edward Coleman passed away Wednesday evening, September 1, 2010 after a long battle with heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.
Clarence was the first child of Edward and Elial (Lila) Radmall Coleman, he was born August 18, 1930 at home in Acequia, Idaho. He faced many challenges throughout his life, facing them with integrity, courage, and overcoming many challenges.
He married Florence Burns on May 25, 1968, sharing their love and companionship, while supporting each other for the past 42 years.
He and his wife were active in the LDS Church where they faithfully served in their callings.
His early years were spent on a farm in Idaho and then in Utah where he learned to work hard as well as operating heavy farm equipment. This vocation sustained him well throughout his life.
Clarence’s life has been a blessing to his family and to others by his thoughtfulness, service, and loyalty.
He was extremely dependable and eager to please those he served. He enjoyed inventing and creating useful tools and creations along with mechanics.
He retired from the State School in American Fork in the Grounds Maintenance Department and as the operator of farming implements.
He is survived by his wife, Florence; four brothers and one sister: Veldon (Marie); Ardell; Leda Banford; Larry (Charlotte); and Ronald (Kris). He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews of whom Clarence and Florence became the “special uncle and aunt” to them all.
The family would like to thank the many special neighbors, friends, and Ward members for their love, concern, and support through the years. They would especially like to thank Gloria and Ed Scoville for their special friendship and watchful eye; as well as Hospice for their faithful attendance.

Dear Florence, Veldon, Ardell, Leda, Larry, and Ronald--
I was very saddened by the news of Clarence’s passing. I thought of him and of your family a few days ago. He was a wonderful man and I always loved him as my cousin. My memories of Clarence goes back to Salmon in my very earliest memories. I especially remember what powerful hands and muscles he had and how gentle he was. I am very thankful that through the gospel of Jesus Christ we have the faith and assurance that all is well with him. I want you to know that I love you all and think of you often.

I am saddened to hear about Clarence passing. I remember him for a long time in my life, we all go back a long way together, over fifty years. I remember us all going to the Starlight drive in and watching Gentle Persuasion when I was just a young teen-ager.There were other times when our families got together and had wonderful times. I know he was very good to my Dad and Mom. They are probably catching up on all that's been going on. I knew he had several health issues, he is without pain and suffering now. I think of his wife, Florence. I feel bad for her. I wish I were there to lend more support to the family. I know this is a sad time for everybody. Our thoughts and heart-felt sympathies are certainly with all of you. Love, Theron and Sylvia Jeppson
Our Prayers are with Florence. I have not been able to spend the time with you and Clarence like we did when my daughter was a resident at the Training School as we would usually come by to visit. The distance has grown to Florida where my bride of 10 years and I now reside. We always enjoyed you pleasant welcome and loving nature. Due to the distance and pending surgeries we will not be able to attend Clarence's service's and that saddens us.
We pray that the comforter sill be with you and bless you during this trial of strength. Know that you are loved and thought of often especially in these times of need. I know that this is part of the great plan we have to endure, sobeit none of us long for these times to happen as it always brings a degree of sorrow and greif. You will hear from many that Clarence is in a better place, therefore I will refrain from doing so save it be to reafrim that is a truth that we believe in.
May the Comforter Be With You

Aunt Florence,
I am so very sorry I will not be able to come to the viewing or the funeral. My work will not allow me the time off.
I was very sad to hear that Uncle Clarence passed away. I know he is no longer suffering, but my heart goes out to you. You both love each other so much and have been inseperable, I know this is very difficult for you. My prayer and hope is that you will turn to us your family and let us try to ease your burden. Please remember we love you. We will all miss Uncle Clarence. He is indeed a wonderful person. He loves you very much and is waiting patiently for you to join him at his side.
Always remember that families are forever!
All my love,
Lori
Florence, that is a beautiful obituary. Clarence was a great blessing in the lives of many people. We have enjoyed your friendship and have admired your love and care for Clarence. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. We love you. Love, Martin and Kim Matthews
Dear Family,
I saw the death notice for Clarence in the Newspaper and called my mother, Veda Stokes, to inform her of Clarence's passing. She sends her love and concern to all the family. She has many wonderful memories of your families together in Idaho. Her middle name is Elial after your Mother. And she loved her and you all. She says to please take care and to know that she loves you all. She will not be able to attend the funeral as she has been ill, but will be here in spirit.
Much love and peace to you all,
Veda Stokes and Shirley Hone
