Larry Devon Clinton, 84, of Vienna, passed away November 6, 2026, at home with his family after a brief and courageous battle with cancer.
He was born in Leeco, Kentucky, a son of the late Joe and Opal Lyon Clinton. He graduated from Parkersburg High School in 1960 and was a proud member of the Marine Corps Reserves. He worked in construction as a surveyor for Shelly and Sands and later retired from Kiewit Corporation after many years of working on projects he enjoyed sharing stories about. One in particular was the “Big Dig” in Boston, Massachusetts.
Larry, “Ivy,” as he was known by his classmates, was an avid sports fan. He played baseball at PHS and was a member of the 1960 championship basketball team. In retirement, he enjoyed playing golf weekly in the Senior Men’s League at Golf Club of WV. He stayed very busy with projects and yardwork but would always make himself available for a quick wiffle ball game in the backyard with his grandchildren.
Surviving is his wife of 64 years and high school sweetheart, Charlotte Swain Clinton; his children, Jimmy Clinton (Kate) of Parkersburg, WV; Jeff Clinton (Kelly) of Delaware, OH; and Susan Stanley (Steve) of Vienna, WV.
He also leaves behind his cherished grandchildren: Anna Farson (Tommy) of Parkersburg, WV; Emily and Josslyn Clinton of Delaware, OH; Katie Lindamood (Adam) of Vienna, WV; Abby Stanley of Dublin, OH; and Casey Stanley of Vienna, WV; and his great-grandson, Cooper Lindamood of Vienna, WV.
He was preceded in death by his parents, sister Sharon Gottshall, and brother Joe Clinton.
