HENRY EUGENE CLEMMER

March 28, 1924 - June 18, 2013

LEXINGTON, VA Henry Eugene "Gene" Clemmer, Sr., died June 18, 2013, after a long illness at the age of 89. He was born in Augusta County. Gene served in the Army Corp of Engineers in Germany during World War II, married Hilda Carroll of Augusta County, and together purchased a farm in Rockbridge Baths in the 1950s where they lived to their final days. Gene and Hilda had been married for over 60 years when she died in 2009. Gene worked at Reeves Brothers in Buena Vista and then for the City of Lexington as a water plant operator until his retirement. When asked what his hobbies were, he always replied, "working". As a result of their parents' hard work, they leave the farm to their children, Chip and Nancy Clemmer of Crockett, and Kevin and Carol Holland of Rockbridge Baths. His wishes to be cremated and a private family service are being honored. Henry Funeral Home of Staunton will be handling the arrangements.
