Barbara Ann Clemans left this world and entered into the presence of her Lord and Savior on November 2, 2021, at age 89. She was born on January 5, 1932, in a historic home in Talent, Oregon. Her family then moved to Medford, Oregon, where she was raised and lived throughout her whole life. Daughter of James A. and Mildred D. Phillips and sister of 3 brothers (Jack, Richard, and Fred) and one sister (Lois Conrad). All of which preceded her in death. In July, 1949 she married Olen Charles Clemans, whom she met at a Medford packing house, where they both worked. They were married 63 years before Olen (Chuck) passed in October of 2012. Together they had 4 children. Bruce (Laura), Lisa Dalbec (Keith), and Brent and an infant that passed at birth.
After accepting Christ together, she and Chuck were very active with First Baptist Church of Medford and helped build where it stands now. They were the youth leaders in the 1950s and later on beginning in the 1980s, she helped Chuck with the church Senior Adult class, as Chuck was President for it.
Barbara was a homemaker and her favorite pastime was yard work, gardening, and feeding hummingbirds. She enjoyed hosting all the familys holiday meals and large get-to-gethers.
