Cleo was a retired inspector for Stone Industrial Corp. in Maryland. Cleo was very outgoing, loved to dance, was an avid animal lover, and was always ready to greet a friend with a warm smile. All of her life Cleo was actively involved with her family and friends, she will be dearly missed. Cleo and her late husband were active members of the Loyal Order of the Moose in Maryland. There wasn’t much she couldn’t do when she put her mind to it; like learning to drive after she retired.
