KAYSVILLE - She was a beautiful, charming, caring and gracious person who personified achieving the American dream, beginning her career an a high school teacher and ending it as Chairman of the Board of one of the Intermountain area's most successful companies, Clover Club Foods, a company she and her husband, Hod, built together. Clover J. Sanders died Friday, December 24, 1999, at the age of 96. She was born in 1903 in Price, Utah, to Charles Robert Johnson and Deseret Aldridge Johnson. After living in Price and Huntington, the family moved to Provo in 1908, where her father received his Music Diploma in the BYH Class of 1909 and taught music at what was then Brigham Young Academy [actually it was Brigham Young High School -- Brigham Young Academy ceased to exist in 1903]. Because of his association with the school, Clover was allowed to attend and began her education at the age of 5 at the BYA kindergarten [BYU Laboratory Elementary School]. In 1916, the family moved to Logan and Clover graduated from Logan High School. At the age of 16, she enrolled at Utah State Agricultural College (now Utah State University) where she majored in music, drama and physical education. In 1923, she was the first student - male or female- to graduate in Utah State's physical education program. She taught at Morgan High School, and it was there that she renewed a friendship with a man she had met at Utah State, Newell V. "Hod" Sanders. The couple was married on May 28, 1928. After working at various jobs In New York and California, the couple decided they wanted to have their own business; so in 1938, armed with little more than enthusiasm, Hod and Clover moved back to Hod's home town of Kaysville with one simple desire to work for themselves. Taking their life savings, experiences learned while working at other snack food companies, and with a few pieces of second-hand equipment, they rented a "back room" in a vacant warehouse in Kaysville, and Clover Club Potato Chips was born. It was Clover's job to do the cooking. Hod delivered the chips door-to-door and store-to-store hoping to sell enough to be able to buy the potatoes they needed for the next day's batch. When a shortage of money became critical, Clover sold her prize piano to keep the fledgling company going. From this humble beginning, Clover Club grew into a major snack food company with distribution in 11 Western states. Clover credits the success on hard work, determination, and always providing a quality product. Hod died in 1980 and Clover assumed the responsibilities of Chairman of the Board, a position she maintained until 1983, when the company was acquired by Borden, Inc. Over the years, Clover has been active in many civic and church activities, including the development of the LeConte Stewart Art Gallery in Kaysville. She was one of the first two women to serve on the Davis County Health Board. And in 1989, at the age of 87, she worked to create a community center for the older citizens of Kaysville. She in survived by two sons, Robert V. (Gail), Salt Lake City; John N. (Sheryl), Bozeman, Montana; seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by a son, Barr; two brothers, Reed and Lund; and a sister, Dixie. Graveside services were held Wednesday, December 29, 1999 in Kaysville. She was truly a remarkable woman, and she believed that (in her own words) "Life is what happens when you're planning something else." The family suggests donations to the Kaysville Autumn Glow Senior Citizens Center, 81 E., Center, Kaysville, Utah, 84037. [Published in the Deseret News, Sunday, December 26, 1999.]

Class of 1956. Claudia Johnson. Girls State, Interpretive Speech Region, Children's Theater, Pep Club, Thespians, Chorus Accompanist, Junior Prom Committee. Married Donald Bendorf. She earned BYU BA Music 1960. ~ ~ ~ ~ After graduating from BY High, I moved on to BYU, where I completed a BA in music theory. In 1961, I married and had three children, two sons and a daughter. Seven years later, I became single again, until I met and married Don Bendorf in 1968. We have lived in and around Oroville, California for the last thirty-eight years, a place we truly love. Before Don retired, he was a probation officer for twenty-five years, later becoming Director of Family Court Services. I’ve had a variety of jobs, ranging from working in the BYU construction department to a myriad of office occupations: legal secretary, office manager, bookkeeper, and financial manager. Although I’ve always loved and been involved in music, it’s never been a paying job. Music has brought me constant joy, something money can’t buy. There hasn’t been a time when I haven’t had a music calling in church or been involved in community and church performances. Don and I have spent many, many hours, weeks, and years doing musical theater together (he sings), including directing full length musicals (I directed an orchestra!!). It has been great fun. Another source of joy has been teaching the Gospel. It all started thirty-five years ago with a Sunday school class of twelve and thirteen year-olds, which I grew to adore. From there I taught Seminary for eight years with classes at 6 am, 7 am, and 3 pm. Class sizes ranged from ten to forty and then they finally got me some help. I started teaching an adult version of Seminary at the same time at the request of the Stake High Council and it is still going -- fifteen years later. It became an Institute Class and then a BYU Continuing Education class. Some of the most meaningful experiences of my life have stemmed from teaching in the Church. Life has been good and no matter how much of it is left, I have no fears of continuing on to our next existence. Five and a half years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had surgery, chemo and radiation and everything appeared to be fine until four months ago when it was found to have metastasized to the bones of my lower back and liver. We're trying various treatments and hope for a remission. If it doesn't come, then that is the way Heavenly Father knows it should be. If I have learned one thing in life, I guess it is to trust Him that He knows much better than I what is best for me. @2006 ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Claudia Johnson Bendorf passed away February 5, 2008 after a seven-year battle with cancer.

She worked as secretary, legal secretary, office manager, and bookkeeper. But the job she loved most was as a teacher for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for over 35 years. Her leisure activities from age 12 on were connected in some way with music, usually in the capacity of accompanist for soloists, groups, and musicals. She was an accomplished pianist whose talent and ability were enjoyed by all who heard her play. She sang in choruses and small groups: mainly trios and quartets, which included about 12 years as a member of "The Sweet Adelines", where she met three of her closest friends. She also directed and co-directed numerous musicals with Don through the Birdcage Theater in Oroville, California. She had a great love for animals, especially cats.

Clover and Hod Sanders

Class of 1921 ~ Honorary. Would have been Class of 1921. She was a beautiful, charming, caring and gracious person who personified achieving the American dream, beginning her career an a high school teacher and ending it as Chairman of the Board of one of the Intermountain area's most successful companies, Clover Club Foods, a company she and her husband, Hod, built together. Clover J. Sanders died Friday, December 24, 1999, at the age of 96. She was born in 1903 in Price, Utah, to Charles Robert and Deseret Aldridge Johnson. After living In Price and Huntington, the family moved to Provo in 1908, where her father taught music at what was then Brigham Young Academy. Because of his association with the school, Clover was allowed to attend and began her education at the age of 5 at the BYA kindergarten. In 1916, the family moved to Logan and Clover graduated from Logan High School. At the age of 16, she enrolled at Utah State Agricultural College (now Utah State University) where she majored In music, drama and physical education. In 1923, she was the first student - male or female- to graduate in Utah State's physical education program. She taught at Morgan High School, and it was there that she renewed a friendship with a man she had met at Utah State, Newell V. "Hod" Sanders. The couple was married on May 28, 1928. After working at various jobs In New York and California, the couple decided they wanted to have their own business; so in 1938, armed with little more than enthusiasm, Hod and Clover moved back to Hod's home town of Kaysville with one simple desire to work for themselves. Taking their life savings, experiences learned while working at other snack food companies, and with a few pieces of second-hand equipment, they rented a "back room" in a vacant warehouse in Kaysville, and Clover Club Potato Chips was born. It was Clover's job to do the cooking. Hod delivered the chips door-to-door and store-to-store hoping to sell enough to be able to buy the potatoes they needed for the next day's batch. When a shortage of money became critical, Clover sold her prize piano to keep the fledgling company going. From this humble beginning, Clover Club grew Into a major snack food company with distribution In 11 Western states. Clover credits the success on hard work, determination, and always providing a quality product. Hod died in 1980 and Clover assumed the responsibilities of Chairman of the Board, a position she maintained until 1983, when the company was acquired by Borden, Inc. Over the years, Clover has been active in many civic and church activities, including the development of the LeConte Stewart Art Gallery in Kaysville. She was one of the first two women to serve on the Davis County Health Board. And in 1989, at the age of 87, she worked to create a community center for the older citizens of Kaysville. She in survived by two sons, Robert V. (Gail), Salt Lake City; John N. (Sheryl), Bozeman,, Montana; seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by a son, Barr; two brothers, Reed and Lund; and a sister, Dixie. Graveside services were held Wednesday, December 29, 1999, at the Kaysville City Cemetery. She was truly a remarkable woman, and she believed that (in her own words) "Life is what happens when you're planning something else." The family suggests donations to the Kaysville Autumn Glow Senior Citizens Center, 81 E., Center, Kaysville, Utah, 84037. [Deseret News, Sunday, December 26, 1999]
