Pastor Clifford (Cliff) Lee Stevens of West Union, Ohio, was born May 27, 1944, to Virgil and
Ernestine Adkins Stevens in Hardy, Kentucky, and entered the presence of the Lord on October
20, 2020, from his home, at the age of 76.
The year he turned 19, Cliff put his trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ. He was united in
marriage to Patsy Ellen Bennington on June 01, 1963, and they served the Lord together for 57
years. At the time of his death, he was pastoring Cornerstone Christian Union Church of West
Union, where he pastored for nearly 26 years. Prior to this, he pastored Shawnee Community
Church, Hamilton Church, Faith Tabernacle, Satterfield Chapel Christian Union, and Beasley’s
Fork Christian Union Church. A Scripture verse of noted value to Cliff is found in Psalm 116:12
which states, “What shall I render unto the LORD for all His benefits toward me?”
Cliff enjoyed and dabbled in many hobbies involving his hands: carpentry, woodworking,
historical cars, etc. He especially loved music and played a variety of instruments, but of greatest
significance were the many lives who were touched by his ministry.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Virgil and Ernestine, and one brother, Alan Stevens.
He is survived by his wife, Patsy, two sons, Jody (Beth) Stevens of McDermott, Ohio, and Toby
(Susan) Stevens of Cambridge, Massachusetts; two daughters, Mandi (Jonathan) Pease of West
