PARKIN Mary Clawson After a long, full and loving life, Mary C. Parkin passed away at her home in Vicars Landing on October 28, 2010.
Born November 16, 1916 in Hamilton, Ohio,(Butler County) Mary was the younger of two daughters of Amor and Mina Clawson.
She was raised in Hamilton where she lived with her mother, sister and maternal grandparents, following the untimely death of her father before she was born.
Mary graduated from University of Wisconsin with a B.A. in English. Mary was a member of Gamma Phi Beta sorority.
She married Dr. George L. Parkin in 1940, and they enjoyed a marriage of 45 years before he preceded her in death in 1985.
Mary and her husband raised their family in Dayton, Ohio where her husband practiced medicine.
Mary was actively involved in the Women's Auxiliary of Miami Valley Hospital.
Mary enjoyed recounting the story of how on one occasion while serving as an electoral volunteer she taught Orville Wright how to use a "modern day" voting machine.
Mary and her husband moved to Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida in 1976, where they shared many fulfilling years of beachside visits with their children and grandchildren.
Mary moved to Vicars Landing in 1997 where she enjoyed the camaraderie of wonderful friends in her later years.
She was a member of Christ Episcopal Church in Ponte Vedra Beach.
She was a true raconteur, and loved to make people laugh. Yet she always felt it was her friends who enriched her life, and she often commented on how fortunate she had been in her life to enjoy such long-standing and caring relationships.
Survivors include her three children and their spouses: Barbara Parkin Miller and her husband William Miller of Ponte Vedra, Mary Beth DiCecco and her husband John DiCecco of Baja California, Mexico, and George C. Parkin and his wife Sally of Corona del Mar, CA.
Other survivors include her six beloved grandchildren, Christine Miller Major of Chicago; Mark Miller of Charlotte, NC; Ross Parkin of Los Angeles, Alan Parkin of Los Angeles, Ryan Parkin of San Francisco, and Vanessa DiCecco Alvarez of Buenos Aires, Argentina, four great-grandchildren, and two nieces.
A Memorial Service will be held at Vicars Landing at a time to be announced. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Mary's memory to your local library.
Mary will be placed at rest next to her husband at Woodland Cemetery in Dayton, Ohio.
Arrangements are under the direction of HARDAGE-GIDDENS FUNERAL HOME, 1701 Beach Blvd., Jax Bch, FL. www.hardage-giddensbeacheschapel.com

For what it's worth about a possible connection of the Clawson (Closson) and Smalley families in New Jersey, I found this article over the past weekend:
Cincinnati Daily Gazette, Jun 6, 1873, p. 8
Article entitled: "Genuine Pioneers. Reunion of the
Butler and Warren County Pioneers Association"
[portions omitted]
James Closson, of Middletown, who was born in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, in 1795, and removed to
Cincinnati in 1802, spoke of his experience in log
cabins in Middletown in those days, when what are now
the streets of the village was shared equally by
wolves, deer, and human occupants. He was married in
the village in 1816, and again in 1871, within four
rods of the spot of the first interesting ceremony.
He introduced to the audience Jonathan Smalley, an
aged and feeble man of 93 years, who was present at
the marriage of the speaker's [e.g., James Closson]
father and mother in 1784.
James' parents weren't mentioned, but if this article is correct and Jonathan Smalley was 93 in 1873, he may have been born in 1780, not 1788, as shown in the 1870 census-- and it's likely, then, that this 1784 marriage occurred in New Jersey.
1870 United States Federal Census
Name: Jonathan Smalley
Birth Year: abt 1788
Age in 1870: 82
Birthplace: New Jersey
Home in 1870: Liberty, Butler, Ohio
Race: White
Gender: Male
