Clinton Lamar Stringfellow, age 70, went to his heavenly home on Saturday, March 21, 2026. He was born on May 17, 1955, to Albert Leo and Mildred Stringfellow.

Clinton was a strong‑willed man with a deep love for the outdoors. He found peace and purpose in the simple rhythms of nature—whether he was out fishing at first light, tending to his farm, or spending quiet mornings in the woods. His days were shaped by hard work, fresh air, and the satisfaction of living close to the land. Those who knew him admired his determination, his independence, and the quiet strength he carried throughout his life.

He is survived by his children, Summer Stringfellow, Autumn (Joe) Hunnings, Maegen (Mike) Conaway, and Caleb Stringfellow and his fiancée, Kristin Nedley; his devoted companion, Debra Inabinett; his grandchildren, Bethany (Chase) Harvison, Gabriella Conaway, Gracleyn Conaway, Gauge Conaway, and Jace Taylor; his great‑grandchildren, Colton and Weston Harvison; his siblings, Dianne Trotti, Rita Boutwell, Charles (Jo Ann) Stringfellow, and Randy (Susan) Stringfellow; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends who will forever cherish his memory.

Those who preceded him in death include his parents, Albert Leo and Mildred Stringfellow, and his sisters, Merle Merritt, Betty Oliver, and Margie Stringfellow Sheffield.

Visitation will be held at Serenity Funeral Home on Wednesday, March 25th from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., with funeral services beginning at 2:00 p.m. Graveside service at Serenity Memorial Gardens will follow immediately afterward.

Clinton will be remembered for his unwavering spirit, his love of the outdoors, and the steady, dependable presence he brought to everyone around him. His memory will live on in the stories shared, the land he cared for, and the hearts of all who loved him.
