Clovadell was a member of the Macon church of Christ. She worked for twenty years at the McGraw Edison factory in Macon, MO.
She read her Bible fervently and took notes of every gospel sermon she ever heard. Grandma “Tobe,” as her grandchildren called her, was an avid Scrabble player. Clovadell was well known for her talent as an artist. Her oil paintings hang in many of the family’s homes as well as those that were commissioned by others through advertising in national magazines. A chalk drawing of the signing of the Declaration of Independence that she produced for our nation’s bicentennial celebration in 1976 currently hangs in the Moberly City Hall.
Clovadell loved and enjoyed her family and friends. Her home was always open to them.
