Charles "Bobby" Robert Clatterbaugh, 89, passed away Saturday, December 16, 2023, at King's Daughters Community Health and Rehabilitation in Staunton.

He was born on September 16, 1934, in Staunton, to the late Charles Crafton and Margaret Elizabeth Ellinger Clatterbaugh.

Bobby was a proud member of the U.S. Marines, serving his country with honor and dedication. His military service shaped his character and instilled in him a strong sense of duty and patriotism.

Outside of his military career, Bobby had a variety of hobbies and interests that brought him joy throughout his life.
