TERRE HAUTE — Clarence David Featherston, 86, of Terre Haute, passed away Saturday, Sept. 8, 2012, at Royal Oaks Health Care & Rehabilitation Center. He was born June 12, 1926, in Spencer, to Wilford Chambers and Celesteen (Abrams) Featherston. He married Betty Ann Davis on Dec. 23, 1950, and together they raised five daughters.

After serving the Army, Clarence went on to serve his country again in the U.S. Air Force. He worked for many years for Terre Haute City Gas.

Clarence was a lifetime member of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 972. He also was a member of Cross Tabernacle.

Clarence is survived by his wife of almost 62 years, Betty; their daughters, Brenda Featherston, Sandy Featherston, Karen Hatfield and her husband Danny, and Donna Tarrh, all of Terre Haute; nine grandchildren; many great-grandchildren; a brother, Elvin Featherston and his wife Myrtle of Terre Haute; a son-in-law, Allen Haskett; a sister-in-law, Joann Featherston; many nieces and nephews; and his beloved Chihuahua, PeeWee.

He was preceded in death by his parents; a daughter, Peggy Haskett; and a brother, Ralph Featherston.
