LEXINGTON: Juanita Joan (Clever) “Nita” Volz, age 84, passed away Monday, August 24, 2015 in Galion Community Hospital.

In addition to her loving husband of 62 years, she was preceded in death by her parents; a sister Katie Brewer Stewart; a brother Harold Clever; & two brothers-in-law Jim Dorminy & Calvin Heston.
