Clarence E. Shupe, 88, Parker, Colorado (formerly of Gallipolis, Ohio) passed away March 22, 2015 at Aurora North Hospital in Aurora, Colorado. He was born July 31, 1926 in Vinton, Ohio, the son of the late Isaac and Sallie Shupe. He was a Navy veteran of World War II, honorably discharged in 1946. On August 3, 1947, he married his sweetheart, Mary Jarvis of Bidwell, Ohio, and they celebrated over 67 years of marriage. He was a member of the Church of the Nazarene, previously at Gallipolis First Church, and presently at Denver First Church in Englewood, Colorado.

He is also survived by brothers Isaac Shupe, Jr., Columbus, Ohio; Donnie Shupe, Vinton, Ohio and sister, Kathern Shupe Casto, Columbus, Ohio and their families. Clarence asked God to bless him and make him a blessing. He was certainly a blessing to his loving family, and to many friends, for he never met a stranger.
