Clarice Cleghorn, or Nanny as she liked to be called, passed away on Thursday September 11th, 2025, a day shy of her 95th birthday. She was born on September 12th, 1930 in Hermleigh, TX to Fred and Carrie Russell. She was the youngest of five siblings. The family lived out in the countryside of Scurry County surrounded by miles & miles of cotton farms. She attended a rural school house for her primary years and graduated from Snyder High School. She married James Cleghorn, also from Snyder, on June 3, 1956. Together they had two daughters, Shonna & Lisha. They lived in Odessa, TX for 57 years until James passed in 2013. She moved to Midland, TX in 2016 to be closer to family. She was a homemaker for most of her married life and also worked at Nations Bank for several years, until she retired in 1988. She loved working in her yard and filled it with beautiful flowers. She was an avid crafter and enjoyed creating beautiful projects for her family & friends. She is preceded in death by her parents, siblings & husband. She is survived by her daughter Shonna and husband Klaus and her daughter Lisha; her grandchildren Cody, Chelsea & Martin, Adryan, Aaron & Jerymar, Tye, Tyler, and Travis; great-grandchildren Anijah, Austin, Sebastian & Klaus Oliver; and several nieces, nephews and special friends.
