The Bakersfield Californian 
Clella M. Jost
June 3, 1919 - March 24, 2005

A Graveside service will be held Thursday, March 31, 2005, 9:30 a.m. At 11:30 
a.m., a Celebration of Clellas life will be held at Laurelglen Bible Church, 
2801 Ashe Rd. After fighting the good fight with respiratory failure, Clella 
went to be with her Lord on March 24, 2005. 

Clella was born on June 3, 1919 in Canada, Kansas to Wesley and Pauline 
Schwendiman. She lived in Marion, Kansas with her family on the farm and 
graduated from Marion High School. In her teens she received the Lord as her 
Savior during a Tent Revival that came through town. She met and fell in love 
with Chester Jost. He moved to California for employment and with ring in hand 
she soon followed. They were married October 5, 1941 in Bakersfield. Their 
children are David Jost, Duane Jost, and Diane David. She was an active member 
in the Bakersfield Mennonite Brethren Church where she taught Sunday School 
and Vacation Bible School. In 1977 Clella and Chester played a key role in 
founding Laurelglen Bible Church. She was an accomplished cook, quilter and 
loved to crochet. Her family was a priority to her and she loved to spoil them.

She loved the Lord, trusted in His promises and prayed diligently. Everyday 
she looked to the Lord to be the strength of her life. She thoroughly enjoyed 
her family and friends and kept her sense of humor even up to her last day.

We will all remember the humor and happiness she had. She left a huge void in 
our lives and she will be greatly missed. Clella was preceded in death by her 
husband of 62 years, Chester Jost. She is survived by her children, David and 
wife, Carol, Duane and wife, Cher, and Diane David; grandchildren, Andrea, 
Chris, Brian, Holly, Troy, Ryan, Jason and Melanie; great-grandson, Justin; 
sisters, Irene Weibert, Darlene Tinberg; and brother, Kenneth Schwendiman, all 
of Kansas.

The Family would like to thank Denise Allen, Agape Home Health, A Caring 
Touch, Dr. Farr, Dr. Hansa & staff for the loving care given.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to International Christian 
Ministries or Children To Love through Laurelglen Bible Church.

Proverbs 3:5-6 and Joshua 1:9

Visitation will be at Hillcrest Memorial Park, Wednesday, March 30th , 2:00 
4:00 p.m.
