Lela May Slaubaugh, 77, of Horse Shoe Run, passed away at her residence on Sunday, April 13, 2003.
She was born March 27, 1926, at Horse Shoe Run, the daughter of the late Gus L. and Lora A. Harsh Calcamp.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Bill Slaubaugh, in 1984.
Survivors include four brothers, Wayne Calcamp, Magadore, Ohio, Lawrence, John and Cecil, all of Horse Shoe Run; three sisters, Juanita Stemple, Horse Shoe Run, Delores Kelley, Leadmine, and Virginia Roth, Thomas; a special friend, Eleanor James, Thomas; 67 nieces and nephews; great-nieces Tracy and Brian Sherwood and Donna and Eric Jackson; great-nephew, Danny and Peggy Cottrell; great-great-nieces and nephews, Krysten and Cody Sherwood, Emily and Alexander Jackson, Amethyst, Lacy and Emilee Cottrell.

One brother and three nieces and nephews also preceded her in death.
She and her husband, Bill, worked tirelessly for their community. They first helped organize and start the Aurora Volunteer Fire Department and later Mt. Grove VFD.
