On Saturday, September 23, 2023, at 11:15am, Clarence Grovatt passed into the presence of His blessed Lord Jesus. He was born to a farm family in Rancocas, New Jersey on August 15, 1916. He was the fifth of seven children. All of his other siblings have preceded him into Heaven. He was a farmer by trade and operated a truck farm in his early years in Willingboro, New Jersey His wife of 74 years preceded him to heaven on July 5, 2014. He was blessed with four children Benjamin, Beverlee Leeds, Janet Bell, and Ted, seven grandchildren, eighteen great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. In 1960, he established a sweet corn farm in Tabernacle, New Jersey called Deerhaven Farm. As he moved toward retirement he grew soya beans. He loved the outdoors and spent many enjoyable seasons hunting in the forests of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Canada. He lived with Ted and Cindy in the past year and a half sharing time between their homes in Tabernacle and Harvey Cedars, New Jersey. Two months ago, the need for medical care beyond that which could be properly provided in the home setting became apparent. Dad was able to enter Wiley Home in Marlton. He loved Wiley and received the best of care. As he awaited the call of his Heavenly Father, he awakened each morning singing hymns praising God. This was His natural way of living. God’s presence and ways were very real to him. His legacy for his family, was a life of coming to know and walking with God and living by God’s standards. He showed us the path of a sinner saved by grace and given eternal life through Jesus Christ.
