Clarence Wafford

Clarence Wafford was born June 12, 1915 in Broken Bow, Oklahoma to Henry and Viola (Baker) Wafford.  He married Thelma Irene Jenkins November 23, 1935 in New Mexico, and the following year loaded up the Model T and came to Oregon.  Family legend has it that when they got here they had $5 and a flat tire!

Clarence worked for Weyerhauser for 27 years, retiring in 1977 as a lumber grader.  Not one to be sitting around, he did handiman and maintenance work in his retirement.

He passed away July 27, 2009 of age related causes.  He was 94.

He is survived by his wife of almost 74 years, Thelma; his children, Dewayne Wafford of Eugene and Joy Haynes and Eugene Wafford, both of Springfield; his brother, Chuck Wafford of Springfield; and by eight grandkids, five great-grandkids and four great-great-grandkids.

A private service will be held at Buell Chapel in Springfield with burial at West Lawn Memorial Park.  A public celebration of life will be held at a later date.  Memorial contributions may be made to Cascade Hospice.
