Dr. James Clouser
Dr. James Clouser, 58, of
Dawsonville, passed away on December-
12, 2021, following a brief illness. Jim
was born on December 11, 1963, in
Dubois, PA, to Charles and Mary
(Lombardo) Clouser. He graduated from
Centr al Catholic High School in Dubois
in 1982 and was a member of Saint
Catherine of Sienna Church throughout
his life in DuBois. He received an
Associate degree in accounting from
Penn State University in the mid 1980s.
Jim was a volunteer firefighter for his
hometown until he moved to Georgia.
He moved to Marietta, in 1990 to attend
Life College and School of Chiropractic
where he earned his Doctor of
Chiropractic degree in 1996. He opened
Clouser Chiropractic in downtown
Dawsonville in 1997. Jim ran his chiro
practic practice until he sold it in 2009.
He then started J Clouser Foods and
began purchasing Subway restaurants,
which was his current venture. Jim is
preceded in death by his father Charles
F Clouser. He is survived by his wife
Cindy, daughter Abby and stepson Kyle

Mary Clouser of DuBois, PA; sister
Mary Theresa (Rick) Lindemuth of Falls
Creek, PA, sister Christine (Don) Hess
of Dubois, PA, brother John Clouser of
Surprise, AZ and many cousins, nieces
and nephews. Jim loved Dawsonville
and enjoyed giving back to the commu
nity through both of his businesses
throughout the year's. He enjoyed target
shooting with his stepson Kyle and he
loved camping in the North Georgia
mountains, but without a doubt his
greatest enjoyment was watching his
daughter play volleyball for Dawson
County High School. A memorial ser
vice for family and friends was held at

Marketing Shannon Taylor
said that they have not only
met but exceeded the goal
that they set.
“We are so thrilled to
announce that our patrons
and staff donated over
1100 gifts to The Place
Holiday House 2021,”
Taylor said. “We surpassed
our goal of collecting 1000
gifts between the
Dawsonville and
Cumming locations and
are so excited to help give
back to the community,
and to partner with such a
great local community to
do so.”
The Place Holiday
House aims to provide
gifts to families in the
community who need a lit
tle extra help at Christmas
time. Local nonprofit The
Place, which has locations
in both Forsyth and
Dawson, collects toy dona-
tions throughout

part of December, and then
the parents who are partici
pating in the program are
given the chance to come
“shop” and pick out pres
ents for their children.
