Born in 1903 in Price, UT, Clover was a beautiful, charming, caring and gracious person who personified achieving the American dream, beginning her career as a high school teacher and ending it as Chairman of the Board of one of the Intermountain area’s most successful companies.

At the age of 16, Clover 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. After graduation, Clover 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.  After Hod died in 1980, Clover assumed the responsibilities of Chairman of the Board, a position she maintained until 1983, when the company was acquired by Borden, Inc.

From humble beginnings, Clover Club grew Into a major snack food company with distribution In 11 Western states. Clover credited the success to hard work, determination, and always providing a quality product.

During her lifetime, Clover was an active participant at many civic and church functions. In the late 1940s, Clover along with a group of Kaysville citizens formed the Kaysville Civic Association. She was a co-founder of the LeConte Stewart Art Gallery, a member of the Bay View Club, a member of Kaysville’s Commercial Club that was forerunner to the Chamber of Commerce, a library board member, a PTA president, and one of 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, now known as the Central Davis Senior Activity Center.
