MITCHELLAdrienne Faye Clouse, 87, passed away Tuesday, November 3, 2020, at Hearthstone Health Campus in Bloomington.

Born July 23, 1933, in Salem, she was the daughter of Earl Wilson and Harvey Porter and Wilma (Colglazier) Porter Rhodes.  She married Henry Clouse, Jr. July 26, 1951.

 Adrienne was a 1951 graduate of Mitchell High School and a teaching assistant for 13 years.   She was a devoted wife and mother.  She loved and cherished her time with family, friends, and church.
