Dale Lee Clare
December 10, 1933 — April 30, 2016
Dale Lee Clare passed away peacefully at his home at Terrace Grove in Logan, UT, on Saturday. April 30, 2016. He was 82.
Dale was born Dec. 10, 1933, to Alva Lee and Ruth Maude (Turner) Clare in Medora, Kansas. He gradu- ated from Hutchinson High School, Southwestern Col- lege with a BA in sociology and Drew University with a Master in Sacred Theology.
In 1955 he married Nanon Bird in Sublette, Kan- sas, at the United Methodist Church. He was an active ordained minister in the United Methodist Church for 46 years.
His first church was in Englishtown, New Jersey, which he served until he graduated from seminary. His first two daughters, Lisa and Lori, were born in Asbury Park, New Jersey. After he graduated from seminary he accepted a church out on Long Island, New York, in East Hampton. His youngest daughter, Linda was born in South Hampton, NY.
In 1960, Dale received a commission as chaplain in the Navy, and the fam- ily moved to California for four years. He served as chaplain on four destroyers in the Pacific and spent 10 months close to the Viet- nam shores.
When he left the service, he accepted a church in Minneola, Kansas, where he served for 10 years. From there he moved to Oberlin, KS, then to Scott City, KS, and his last church was in Johnson, KS. He retired in 1998 and moved to Garden City, KS. In 2005 Dale and Nanon moved to Logan, UT, to be closer to their daugh- ter and grandchildren.

For many years he served on the Camp Lakeside Board of Trust-
ees, the District Board of Ordained Ministry, and the Board of Directors of Smoky Hill Public TV.
Dale loved to preach the gospel of love that Jesus taught, and many will re- member his ability to weave his own storied into his ser- mons. His knack of making people laugh with him was one of his strengths, and people always knew that he would listen to them.
He is preceded in death by his wife of 56 years, Nanon (Bird) Clare. He is survived by his three daughters, Dr. Lisa Clare, DVM, Lori Cross (Kerry), and Linda Clare, and two grand- children, Molly and Eli Clare. Melody, Gary and Landon Head are his special family.
Burial will be in Banner Cemetery south of Sublette, KS. Funeral services will be posted when they have been arranged.
The family would like to thank the staff of Terrace Grove for their wonder- ful care of their father
and mother. Funeral ar- rangements by Allen-Hall Mortuary. Condolences and memories may be shared online at www.allenmortuaries.net
