Gerald Edgar Clolinger

February 19, 1930 — January 7, 2021

Gerald Edgar Clolinger was born February 19, 1930 in Rosebloom, MS the son of the late Jerrell Sidney and Mary Little Clolinger.

Mr. Clolinger served in the United States Army for 4 years during the Korean Conflict. He retired from Binswanger Mirror Company in Grenada, MS after 37 years. He was a jack of all trades - a genius when it came to repairing things. Growing up during the depression, nothing could be thrown away without him taking it apart and salvaging parts for later use. When he was able, he loved to hunt and fish.

He was always the happiest when his family was around, especially if they challenged him to a game of cards or dominoes.

Mr. Clolinger departed this life on January 7, 2021 in Corinth, Mississippi at the age of 90 Years, 10 Months, 19 Days. He is survived by a daughter, Julia Thomas and husband Lynn of Guys, TN; five grandchildren, Timothy Thomas of Guys, TN, Michelle Freeman and husband Blake of Adamsville, TN, Brandice Petty and husband Bryan of Ramer, TN, Cheri Lindley of Henderson, TN, Julia E. Thomas of Selmer, TN; eight great grandchildren, Peyton Surratt, Hunter Butler, Trae Petty, Mylan Surratt, Sebastien Petty, Keelan Surratt, Maddox Freeman, Noah Thomas; a sister, Frances Robinson of Greenville, MS; and a host of extended family and friends.

In addition to his parents, Mr. Clolinger was preceded in death by a sister, Vina Ann James; four brothers, Walter, Archie, William, J.S. Clolinger Jr.
