KELSO- Juli Joane Clawson, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, and friend, passed away February 13, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love, adventure, and warmth.

Juli was married to the love of her life, Terry Clawson, for over 30 years. She was a dedicated mother to Adrienne Dykstra, Andrew Doehne, Dawn Hemenway, and Chris Hemenway (Amanda), as well as a loving stepmother to Jeremy Biggers, Mareichia Southern, and Chris Clawson. She took immense pride in her role as a grandmother to seven grandsons, three granddaughters, and four great grandchildren, all of whom brought her endless joy. Juli was truly the heart and strength of her family. 

Juli shared a deep bond with her sister, Lori Miltenberger (John) and sister Chrissy Shelton (Larry), her brother Gilbert Miltenberger (Barb), and her stepbrother Tony Taylor (Linda). She was the cherished daughter of Joane Tillman (Paul) and Bill Miltenberger (Karen), who instilled in her a love for life and adventure. 

Juli had a passion for travel, always seeking out destinations filled with sunshine, sandy beaches, and ocean breezes. She found peace and happiness with her toes in the sand, basking in the warmth of the sun. Her radiant spirit and love for life was contagious, and she brought light and laughter to everyone who knew her.

She will be deeply missed and forever remembered in the hearts of all who loved her. A private service will be held on Saturday, March 15th , to honor her life and legacy.

In lieu of flowers, the family encourages those who wish to honor Juli’s memory to spend a moment in the sun, embrace your loved ones, and cherish the warmth of the day, just as she did.
