Many blue ribbon winners, sewn together with love and patience, now grace the homes of family and friends. Upon retirement, the couple lived in Falmouth above Houchen’s Shoe Store for 45 years. For the past 23 years, Clevie has been living with her caregivers, Steve and JoAnn Greene, where her humor, quick wit, and story telling are going to be missed. She is survived by several nieces and nephews and a host of extended family and friends.
