Emily D. Burklow Clouse, 89, remembered for her contagious smile

In December of 1948, she married Troy and they moved to Cookeville, TN where she took an accountant position with Southern Continental Telephone Company while Troy pursued his engineering degree at Tennessee Polytechnic Institute, now Tennessee Tech. The family moved from Cookeville to Oak Ridge in 1953 for Troy’s employment as a mechanical engineer and to raise their family. The family was a member of Central Baptist Church in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Once all of her children were in school, she began her career with the City of Oak Ridge. Emily later returned to school to attain an associate degree in computer programming and worked for the city’s data processing department for many years. Emily was very active in bowling, softball, tennis, as well as coaching both her daughter’s softball and basketball teams. Following the death of her first husband in 1993, she became very active in competitive ballroom dancing. Emily’s tennis team placed 2nd in a national tournament in Arizona. She met her second husband, Robert Clouse, while playing tennis. They traveled extensively throughout the world and were avid supporters for the University of Tennessee Women’s Basketball and Men’s Baseball Teams as well as the Atlanta Braves. Following Bob’s death in 2007, Emily moved to Chapin and continued her involvement in various activities, especially numerous bridge clubs where she not only was the frequent winner of the “quarters” but more importantly developed new and lasting friendships. She will be remembered for her “contagious” smile as well as being a loving wife, mother, grandmother, aunt and friend.
