CLARENCE BEAVAN

Clarence Beavan, 76, Griswold, CT, gently joined his loving departed wife, Wilma, on Tuesday, June 6, 2006 at Bride Brooke Rehab in East Lyme, CT, surrounded by his loving family and friends.

He was born October 26, 1929 in Susquehanna, PA, son of the late LeGrande and Valeria (Agler) Beavan.

For 58 years, Clarence and Wilma were inseparable. They were married on September 19, 1947 in Susquehanna.

In Clarence’s younger years he was an avid boxer. He was always noted for his quick wit, winning smile and wink with a very loving heart to all that knew him. His home was always open to family, friends and animals. He fed and sheltered many wild animals such as birds. Along with raising a family, Clarence and Wilma enjoyed stock car racing. Clarence built the race car and Wilma drove it. They won every race they entered except one, in which she lost a wheel and finished second.

Mr. Beavan’s number one priority in life was his family. He was a very loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and foster father to many children. He also enjoyed gardening, building crafts with Wilma and any mechanical challenge he could get his hands on.

Beavan (deceased), Tim Beavan, Virginia Beach, VA, Robert Beavan and his wife, Sandy, Oxford, MA, Terry Beavan and his wife, Christal, Uncasville, CT; a daughter, JoAnne B.
