Clayton M. Lausch, 82, of Reinholds, passed away at home on Saturday, April 27, 2019 surrounded by his loving family.
He was the husband of 61 years to Mildred (Klopp) Lausch. Born in Denver, he was a son of the late William and Elva (Keith) Lausch.
Clayton was a mason by trade and a family-man at heart. He worked as a firebrick mason for various contractors, with many years at Snyder Contractors, retiring in 2002. Clayton’s family was most important to him. He had a special relationship with each of his grandchildren. He loved fishing, hunting, and farming. He was always working on a new project; from building houses to planting backyard berry patches, he was constantly busy. He was the household jokester with his little tricks and smirky grin. He will be dearly missed.
In addition to his wife, Clayton is survived by four children: Linda L. Boyer (partner, Jude Maydwell) of Denver; Bonnie S. Rehlich (Barry) of Denver; Clayton “Chipper” M. Lausch Jr. (Mickey) of Denver; Candy M. Pannebecker of Denver; seven grandchildren: Eric Boyer, Stacy Boyer, Roxane Shiplett, Justin Lausch, Jami Lausch, Hunter Pannebecker, Haley Pannebecker; three great-granddaughters: Isabel Boyer, Abigail Boyer, Britany Shiplett; and brothers- and sister-in-law: Cecelia Lausch, Raymond Zeimer, and Harvey Schlouch.
He is predeceased by his brother: William Lausch; and four sisters: Arlene Groff, Thelma Zeimer, Esther Schlouch, and Kathryn Light.
Viewings will be Wednesday, May 1, from 6 to 8 p.m., and Thursday, May 2, from 10 to 11 a.m., with the funeral service beginning at 11 a.m., all at Good Sipler Funeral & Cremation Centre, 34-38 N. Reamstown Road, Reamstown. Interment will follow in Muddy Creek Cemetery, Denver.
